I'll settle for a simple Yes or No...

Question

Is it possible (re-)edit text in item of HTML Editor minimal type?
Hi,
I created a form with an item of type HTML editor minimal.
After insertig tekst and saving the text to the database (varchar2(4000)-type column) and displaying it in an APEX-report, everything looks as I want.
How can I get the text displayed in an item of type HTML editor minimal so the user can re-edit it?
I tried using an application process/AJAX solution, but that does not work. Take a look at
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25883:17:
user: bemy
password: guest
At the top, I display what is now in the database.
Below, after entering an ID (1 or 2) and tabbing out (onChange event), the text is added (AP/AJAX-trick) to both items. However, only item of type textarea displays the value. But it shows the HTML-tags as well, and I do not want the user bother with HTML-tags...
Thanks,
Jos

Thanks Carl, for replying.
I tried your first suggestion (do it the APEX way) already before I posted for help, but I loose all the HTML make-up. This happens for item Tekst (HTML editor) as well as for item Tekst2 (regular textarea)and it doesn't.
However, when I add the database-value using AJAX, item Tekst2 shows the HTML-tags, item Tekst doesn't show anything.
This is the code:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function f_GEEF_EDITOR_TEKST ()
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=GEEF_EDITOR_TEKST',0);
get.add('F25883_EDITOR_ID',html_GetElement('P17_ID').value);
alert('ID: '+html_GetElement('P17_ID').value);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn)
html_GetElement('P17_TEKST').value = gReturn;
html_GetElement('P17_TEKST2').value = gReturn; }
else
{  html_GetElement('P17_TEKST').value = 'null';
html_GetElement('P17_TEKST2').value = 'null'; }
get = null;
</script>
This javascript is executed like this:
item: P17_ID
HTML Form Element Attributes: onBlur="javascript:f_GEEF_EDITOR_TEKST ();"
The application process:
declare
cursor c_et
is
select e.tekst
from editor e
where e.id = :F25883_EDITOR_ID;
pl_editor_tekst varchar2(4000);
begin
if :F25883_EDITOR_ID is not null
then
open c_et;
fetch c_et into pl_editor_tekst;
close c_et;
end if;
htp.prn(nvl(pl_editor_tekst,'Niets gevonden bij ID '||:F25883_EDITOR_ID));
end;
But this doesn't seem to work for an FCKeditor-textarea.
So I followed your second suggestion, but I can't figure out what precisely I have to put where. I guess something like
var oFCKeditor new FCKeditor('P17_TEKST'); and oFCKeditor.value = gReturn
Could you give some more info on that?
Thanks,
Jos
