By the end of this article we will have a Server File Browser similar to Windows Explorer Save/Open dialog box:
Building Rich Text Editor. Part VI
Introduction
This is a Part VI of the series on building online Rich Text Editor.
In previous articles (Part I to Part V) we have developed various application features from editing and formatting to saving the results to the hard drive and forwarding to an email recipient as a message or an attachment.
This iteration was intended as the last one, but the topic (Opening and Saving files from the server) turned out to be so extensive that I decided to dedicate almost the entire article to building the Server File Browser which will be used for entering file name when saving as well as selecting files when opening from the server.
In the next iteration we will complete developing the Open and Save functionality while covering the actual procedure of reading and writing files to/from the server.
