I'm using IE's design mode for a WYSIWYG editor I'm assembling. The execCommand dialog for insert image places the absolute file path in the HTML for images. This has to be manually deleted before uploading the saved page to the web host, which isn't at all WYSIWYG.

For weeks I've been looking for a script to eliminate the file path from the image src tag, but I can't find anything that works client-side. I understand why it's necessary for an editor to use the file path to display an inserted image on the page under construction, but other WYSIWYG editors eliminate the path if the page is saved in the same folder/directory as the image. How is this done? I assume the script would have to be added to the execCommand(Save As) function.

I use htmlArea and just happened to see a reference in their forums to what you are trying to do:

It might if I can figure out what those $s mean. I'm fairly new to scripting, but $ looks more like server-side script than client-side javascript, which is what I need for an offline WYSIWYG editor.

its a pure javascript product. $1 and $2 relate to regilar expressions. They hold values.

I assumed the file path fix had to go in the save function, but no matter where or how I tried to insert it, I got error messages. Mainly "tag undefined."

Any idea how I can plug this into the function below?

function saveFrame() {
var title = prompt("ENTER PAGE TITLE","My Page";
var html = iView.document.documentElement.outerHTML;
var html_txt = "&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;" + title + "&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;\n";
html_txt += html + "\n&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;";
iView.document.write(html_txt);
iView.document.execCommand('SaveAs',null,'index for homepage');
}

Also tried placing it in the insert image function with no better luck:

function insImg() {
iView.focus();
iView.document.execCommand('insertimage', true, null);
}

No, sorry. Thats why I use the freeware htmlArea.<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
