Coldfusion using TinyMCE
I am developing a lightweight editor using TinyMCE.
Once the user has entered the text and images in in TinyMCE, I capture that information using #form.post# and store it in a table.
The #form.post# contains HTML tags such as
<p>Hello </p> <p>My name is John</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>I like Coldfusion/em></span></p>
My question is, how do I open TinyMCE and pass the stored table information (#form.post#) back to TinyMCE?

of course you need wrap with cfoutput
cfoutput>#htmlcodeformat(q
I have posted complete example, which shows how to
1. Customize tinyMCE
2. Populate tinyMCE textarea
3. Read textarea and update/add record
Hope this example helps to understand complete lifecycle.

It's not a matter of wrapping in cfoutput - it's a matter of using htmlEDITformat instead of htmlcodeformat !
just fyi ...

With all due respect, the correct answer is HTMLEditFormat as dgrafx suggested.
Though the functions may seem similar, they serve different purposes. HTMLCodeFormat is designed to display code. Like when you use the "Code" button on the EE toolbar. It encloses the content in PRE tags, so you see it as literal HTML code like this:
HTMLEditFormat is designed for rendering html code, which is what rich text editor does. So instead of html code, you would see:
My name is John
So the correct function is HTMLEditFormat - not HTMLCodeFormat

Yes - what _agx_ said is 100% accurate.

htmlcodeformat may appear to work at first glance, but upon closer inspection you'll see that it does not.
When I saw that the incorrect answer had been chosen by the question asker I was expecting that Pravin Asar (who posted the accepted incorrect answer) would have by then realized his error and spoken up.

ColdFusion Language
ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.

I would disagree with the htmlcodeformat answer!
You should use
#htmlEDITformat(trim(xxx))
xxx is simply your variable name of course - it's your form.post from your example
good luck ...
