How to display part of text bold/underlined that is from database - asp.net-mvc

I have an event page, when I create a new record I also add Event Details and save it to my database. However there are some parts in the text that I would like them to be underlined or Bold
when Displaying the data I use <textarea>
<textarea readonly="readonly" class="NoBorder ">#(Model.TE_DESCRIPTION)</textarea>
so is there a hack to achieve this? I hoped placing <b> or <u> tags to the text to work but it does not.
any help or suggestion is much appreaciated
Edit
it is not important if I use a or or to dipslay data..
My issue is I fetch the text from database, let's say that following is the string I saved to the database
< b > This part of the text is bold the rest are not
the above text is displayed as it is written above however I want it to be displayed like
This part of the text is bold the rest are not

This would mean that when a user modifies the DrupalBlock HEX code it would change the color of the box. However the issues is when it's printed on the page it's looking like this
<div data-quickedit-field-id="#" class="field field--name-field-color field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item quickedit-field">FFFFFF</div>
the only thing I would like printed is "FFFFFF" with no div's

Here is my question: How do I display my Field_color as plain text when it prints?
You can use |raw : {{ content.field_color|raw }}.
If you need more information please ask.
I suggest you do a dump or kint of your content.field_color variable. You might be able to get some more information on it and get the answer!
Anyway, we have something similar in our project and the way we do it is by using a .getString() method.
{% set image_align = content.field_image_align['#items'][0].getString() %}
<div class="{{ image_align }}">
Our field is a list of values so you'll have to look for another array item to call the .getString() method on.

ruby on rails: text filed formatting

I tried to copy and past from Word document to text field using Ruby on Rails.
But all formatting( spaces, bold and other) are disappeared on text filed.
I've just got the simple lines of text without any formatting.
I've read that need to use Simple format tool... but I want that a user be able just to copy and past a text to text field without doing any adjustments.
I mean, I want make all adjustment in advance and the user could just copy and past the text and got all formatting, the same as in Word doc.

Also I have Application.html.erb file:

How to initialize editor if I don't have id = "edit" right now?
How to put some code extra style to this file?
Have a go at wrapping your field in your show.html.erb or wherever you want to display it with simple_format, for example:
<%= simple_format(#object.description) %>
See http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/TextHelper/simple_format for more info.
I've solved this problem by implementing SKEditor.
There is a lot of tutorial how to implement this editor.
I (as a lot of other users) have problem that my text wasn't formatted because this editor is not compatible with turbo links.
So, I disable turbo links in some files, and as result I have the text formatted.

laravel 4 - how to include an editor into Laravel 4

I have an application in Laravel 4 to manage newsletter.
It the back end is possible to write the message that will be sent as email to the users in the list.
There is a simple form with two fiels: subject - body
The point is that i can send only plain text.
It is possible to include an editor with some basics functions: bold - italic - color - size - headings?
Thank you.
That wouldn't be part of the back end but would be done with javascript. What you are probably looking for is something like CKEditor which basically hijacks <textarea> elements on your page and turns them into almost full featured editors.
How it works is it automatically inserts appropriate HTML tags into the text as it's typed depending on how the user wants it to look. When the form is submitted, instead of plain text, it would be submitted as the generated HTML, and you'd probably just want to drop that into the body of the email.
Check out http://www.ckeditor.com
If you have any specific questions on that, I'd be sure to add the appropriate tags so you have a better chance of getting help on it.

Link in input text field

HI All,
I know this is bit strange question, but please suggest.
I want to create a link on website url content in input type"text" field not any other html tag,Is it possible and if yes how.
Regards & Thanks
Amit
I don't know whether I understood your question correctly or not. Based on my understanding I gave the answer. Feel free to raise your question. Nothing is impossible.
</input>
It displays a text box. You can enter any data into it. If you press enter key then it forwards the page to Google.com
You can use SPAN instead of INPUT. This also serve the same purpose.
<a href="http://www.google.com" ><span style="border:1px solid blue;" >Link</span></a>
This is unfortunately not possible in the way you've asked it in HTML 4 or below. Even with HTML5 which has several new INPUT TYPEs, including URL, it only does validation and has some other useful functions, but won't give you want you want.
You might look for some jQuery plugins that can help you do this, most use the same principals behind Rich Text or other online/web-based HTML WYSIWYG editors. I've had trouble locating them myself.
These 3 situations (that I can think of right now) are pretty much what you will face natively with HTML4 or below, as text in an actual HTML4 INPUT textbox is pure text. It is not html and therefore NOT clickable. Here are some variations:
The INPUT tag's VALUE attribute, also referenced as the corresponding DOM object's "value" property (which is basically what you've been doing, and the most you can hope for, if you decide that you MUST have the text that's ACTUALLY inside the textbox (because the text inside the textbox is the VALUE attribute, as I have it with "http://yahoo.com" in this example):
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text" value="http://yahoo.com">
where the INPUT's VALUE = "http://yahoo.com", which you can retrieve with:
in pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").value
in jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").val()
When your link/url is the text in between the and , i.e. the text/innerText of the textbox. This is useless for your question/scenario since it's not clickable, and more importantly NOT INSIDE the textbox. However, someone might want to use this to retrieve any text that you may be using as a label (if you're not using the <label> tag itself already that is):
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text">
http://yahoo.com
</input>
The textbox's text/innerText is NOT an attribute here, only a DOM object property, but can still be retrieved:
pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").innerText
jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").text() -- you would use this to capure any text that you may be using as a label (if you're not using the tag).
The result being: http://yahoo.com
When your link/url is the form of an ANCHOR () with an HREF to your url (and visible link text) in between the and , i.e. the innerHTML of the textbox. This is getting a bit closer to what you want, as the link will appear as, and function as an actual link. However, it will NOT be inside of the textbox. It will be along side it as in example #2. Again, as stated in example #1, you CANNOT have actual working HTML, and therefore a working 'link' inside of a textbox:
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text">
<a href="http://yahoo.com">
http://yahoo.com
</a>
</input>
Once again, similarly to example #2, the textbox's innerHTML is NOT an attribute here, only a DOM object property, but can still be retrieved:
pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").innerHTML
jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").html()
The result being: http://yahoo.com
You could simply do this :
<input type=text value="link" readonly>
So whenever somebody clicks the textbox, it works as a link, and since it's read only, there wont be any text input/change.
Be careful tho, for it wont look like a regular link and might cause confusion, or may be misinterpreted as a normal textbox.
This is how I did it with JavaScript and JQuery. This wraps the entire text field in a hyperlink, so essentially the entire text field is click-able, which may not be the functionality you are looking for. It worked for my purposes though.
The reason I didn't just use a $(nameTextField).click(function(){...}) structure is because the text field I'm using has the disabled attribute set, so click functions aren't fired. That's why I had to wrap the text field in a hyperlink.
// Make person name a hyperlink to page in new tab
var nameLink = "/exampleUrl/?initStudentId=$" + studentId;
$("#studentNameLink").replaceWith($("#studentNameLink").html()); // Unwrap any previously wrapped text fields
$(nameTextField).wrap("<a id='studentNameLink' target='_blank' href='" + nameLink + "'>"); // Wrap text field in anchor
$(nameTextField).css('color', '#326699'); // Make text blue
$(nameTextField).val(studentName); // Set text field value
Half the people here missunderstood it. The OP would like to have the content/value of the input fields to be hyperlinks instantly and NOT the fields themselves.
It is doable... although it's not an input field but the appearance acts like such one.
Use the following: contenteditable=true
HTML
<div contenteditable=true>
<a id=lnk style=-moz-appearance:textfield href=http://www.google.com>http://www.google.com</a>
</div>
or optionally -webkit-appearance ..depends
JavaScript
var lnk=document.getElementById('lnk');
lnk.addEventListener('click',()=>{
window.location.href = lnk.getAttribute('href');
});

You want someone clicking a textbox to actually be treated as a link click?
Sounds malicious to me but you could bind the focus event via javascript to a window.redirect().
I don't know if I get the question right. As I've understood you want to be able to type in a ...-tag into an input-field. No other tags should be allowed. You can achieve this by using PHP for example:
<!-- HTML-Code -->
<input type="text" name="link" />
// PHP-Code
$link = strip_tags($_POST['link'], 'a'); // Remove all other tags than the <a>-Tag...
Is that what you mean?
Yes, it is possible, but it's not that simple. You need to create div, or other tag you prefer, that will be always floating over your input, using CSS positions, and create anchor inside it.
For example, virtual keyboard img is embedded into input field that way on russian Google page (http://www.google.ru/)
Because of browser-compatibility it's not a simple task.
EDIT: Understood your question a little more. You still need first part of the answer, and you will need to handle keypress event inside your input. When symbol is entered you will need to update your floating div.
So now task is difficult even more. Maybe you should revise your model and not the code.

how to show contents which include html tag?

I am using FckEditor in Create.aspx page in asp.net mvc application.
Since I need to show rich text in web pages, I used ValidateInput(false) attribute top of action method in controller class.
And I used Html.Encode(Model.Message) in Details.aspx to protect user's attack.
But, I had result what I did not want as following :
<p> Hello </p>
I wanted following result not above :
Hello
How can I show the text what user input?
Thanks in advance
The short answer is that HTMLEncode is making your markup show like that. If you don't HTMLEncode, it will do what you want.
You need to think about whether or not you need full control of markup, who is entering the markup, and if an alternative like BBCode is an option.
If your users using the editor are all sure to be 'safe' users, then XSS isn't likely to be as much a concern. However, if you are using this on a comment field, then BBCode, or something like SO itself uses is more appropriate.
You wont be able to use a WYSIWYG editor and do HTMLEncode though... (without BBCode, or some other token system)
It seems the user entered "<p> Hello </p>" (due to pressing Enter?) into the edit control, and it is displaying correct in the HTML as you have done an Html.Encode. E.g. the paragrahs are not rendered, they are outputted as "<p>..</p>" as the string is HTML encoded into something like "<p> Hello <p>".
If you do not want tags, I would suggest searching the text string for tags (things with <...>) and removing them from the inputted text. Do this before HTML.Encode.
...or am I missing something?
You can use HttpServerUtility.HtmlEncode(String)
