The little bugger is around here somewhere. Most likely causing trouble and stirring things up. He's like that you know.

What's your input format set to? if it's set to "Filtered HTML", it'll probably filter it out, but Full HTML filter will display it, you can also user BBCode tags.

Easy way to do it randy is to use bbcode instead of html, I assume you're using the tag on the toolbar? I'll change that to generate the bbcode instead of html.

I've tried adding it per the formatting information link, by copying code form Tim's image and just changing the URL information, and even by using the Insert/edit image button that [sometimes] is available....

I think the editor needs (or I missed) a [Cancel] button... just in case you start and don't like it, and want to discard and go back to the original page...

Outstanding!

We'll spend some time getting a good editing system in place for ease of photo adding.

Cool. Though, getting our questionnaires back is probably higher on my priority list (I just have to get you the questions). One thing we didn't have before that would help a lot is if the responses could actually be sent in a format that could be easily imported into my database (I use Access, but may convert to SQL - since Microsoft was so kind as to give me their newest SQL server software Smiling )... The older ones were a text output that was pretty much useless for pulling in to anything... I had to copy everything into Access by hand Sad

Perhaps we can discuss this on the side on Sunday...

Yeah, we can discuss it, and then I'll bring it to the web team and see what we can come up with.
