Not entirely sure if something like this exists or not. If it does, im at a loss as to what to search for to find it.
I need an inpage/inline (jquery?) wysiwyg editor with templating, so i can load in a basic (preferably uneditable) layout, that the user then fills in.
Image uploading and gallery. So a user can either upload a picture, or insert one from a selection within a gallery.
Ability to convert the contents for storage and retrieval in db (if its all text/html), or even better a way to save the entirety as a flattened image.
I know this is a tall order, but ive seen the individual pieces in different editors, but not all in one. Perhaps im searching for the wrong thing, but any help here would be great.

I have recently used ckeditor and as far as I can see it it is capable of doing everything you need:
Templating: No problem, see Templating
Image Uploading: Possible. It's described here. Though they use an own (not free) file manager AFAIR. But writing a simple file browser with jquery isn't really a hard task (see jQuery file tree as a simple example). You just need to integrate it with the ckeditor file upload dialog (but all this is described in the docs quite well). Of course you can also spend some money in order to use their file manager and don't worry about integrating your own.
Storage: CKEditor creates pure HTML markup. I don't know why there should be a problem storing this markup in your database of choice.

I just want to ask if there is any resource which can do PDF to Editable Document conversion like in Word, Excel or powerpoint. Let me know if it is possible. My preferred architecture is NodeJS or Javascript. I have done following research:
Reading the .pdf in binary and extracting all information then creating the document according to that but it is a very long term solution.
I want to do the conversion in editable way so i don't want to do it using images mapping.
Do share if there is any paid resource available, and it must not be an API because i need to give offline support.
Regards
Ali Muqaddas
You can use unoconf (https://github.com/gfloyd/node-unoconv) for that.
Example from the library README:
unoconv.convert('document.docx', 'pdf', function (err, result) {
// result is returned as a Buffer
fs.writeFile('converted.pdf', result);
});
I don't think there is a clear solution for this.
I have also been looking for the same thing. I have found these 2 APIs that allow for this, but I'm looking for something offline too.
Nonetheless, these APIs might be useful for you or maybe they are exactly what you have been looking for.
PDFTron - Limited documentation and kinda unclear. I tried to work with this a couple of times but never managed to get it working, but if you can seeing from their demo, the results look really nice.
ASPOSE - Offers a free tier demo license, however, the conversion is a bit...weird. Meaning no images just text, therefore, the padding and margin are way off.
Doing the opposite is easy and FREE! (DOCX -> PDF), however, (PDF -> DOCX) seems to be (1) Expensive and (2) Impossible to implement offline.

I am totally new to writing back data to a server, so this question may be phrased slightly wrongly.
I am building a website that will have multiple fields for users to input values. I am planning on using JS (probably with Jquery) to pass these values to be stored on some kind of database. I would then like to recall the values and display them back into the site (again using JS).
Ill have to make some calculations based on all the values within the database and would like the end result of these calculations to also be called back onto the website through JS.
Basically i dont even know where to start.. everything i read about this topic seems to be aimed at someone who already knows how to initially set up a database and what kind to use. My scripting is rather on the basic side, so something fairly intuative from the database would be really handy.
Does anyone have any suggestions what sort of database i should set up and how i can begin learning this?
Take a look at https://www.codecademy.com
It's free and they have easy to follow courses that will teach you all the technologies you'll need to know to build an interactive web application.
You should check out php (server language) and mysql (database). You should install wamp if you are on a windows server, or mamp for mac. Play around with php and then create your database and play with that. In mysql there is a new interface called PDO for database connection and database requests, you might wanna look into that. Google is your friend and read a lot and try stuff, that is how you learn it. you might also wanna consider taking online classes.

me and my friend have this develop a game in 18 hour competition on friday, and we have to use javascript (I don't know why) and it isn't very pleasant to work on the same project from two computers and exchange code over a network share folder, is there any way to have a sort of Google docs for javascript coding? Where we can both edit the same document in real time from two different computers? Any time appreciated.
You're referring to "version control".
A good tool (usually the de-facto) for that is Git.
You can then push your code to something like GitHub.
Lots of stuff you can do with this... You can both have individual branches, push them to GitHub, and then "diff" them, meaning you can see individual changes line-by-line and decide what you want to keep or discard. These can be merged to, say, a master branch which represents your final product.
use some sort of source control! Github is an excellent site to use GIT with. Other options include, but are not limited to, SVN and mecurial
SVN, GitHub, TFS are good tools for source control. They will also provide you the ability to check in/check out so that things can be merged in the background. So, if you and your friend are working on the same file and both commit the changes, they would be merged together. However, if you're wanting to see your buddies changes as he types, you're going to need to write something to do this. If you want this type of functionality, there's a cool library out there called signalR (http://signalr.net/). This may be a little overkill but I don't know any text editors out there that will allow you to see someone elses changes as they type. You could probably spin something up with ajax calls but again, that would be overkill and performance would be an issue.

I'm trying to create a sleek and styled button that when clicked allows the user to select a file. When the file has been selected, an event should fire, allowing me to reconstruct the form. Also the file should be uploaded without reloading the page. Preferably events should also be fired for upload progress and completion.
Obviously neither pure HTML or JavaScript can do all this by themselves. I need to let Flash do the uploading. I've been searching around for a nice clean JavaScript library that implements Flash for file uploads and makes the aforementioned events available to the programmer. All I've managed to find are "all-or-nothing" type libraries that does everything for me, giving me little or no freedom. Often the upload interface is also static and in flash.
Are there are professional, clean JavaScript libraries out there that does what I'm after? To reiterate, I'm looking for a JavaScript library that uses Flash only to upload one or more files asynchronously and offer events to keep track of the upload.
Thanks a bunch for all answers
Have you chanced upon Uploadify?
Uploadify - http://www.uploadify.com/
Demo - http://www.uploadify.com/demos/
Uploadify uses Jquery along with Actionscript for file uploading and has a number of options for controlling the upload events.
There is also jqUploader and swf upload, both of which I'm less of a fan of.
Personally I would use Uploadify or if Flash is not a requirement, something like BlueImp's uploader.
Hope this helps. Sorry I can't link you to the other plugins, low rep and all.

I'm looking for a tool with which I can annotate source code.
I have some 3rd party source code (JavaScript) I need to understand and I don't want to change it (add inline comments) so that
line numbers can stay intact (for communication with others),
I can avoid accidentally changing something and
my annotations stand out compared to the authors comments.
Normally I would print the whole thing out an scribble on it, but the code is too long for that and I need to share it per email. I would be great if one could do some like that including being able to create "links" between so places in the code, possibly even visually with a lines or arrows.
If you would usually print it (if it were shorter), why not print it to a PDF and then use a PDF viewer that supports comments, like Foxit Reader? :)
I would use email to comment and pastebin to host and highlight #h# lines with links in the email text.
OR
some code-review tool (like codestricker or reviewboard for example)
You can certainly do what you want to with LaTeX and its listings package. But if you are not already a LaTeX user you might think that a hard way to go.
start a github project and post the code there, github includes annotation abilities OOB.
You have difficult requirements. I don't know of such tool. Nevertheless as a more general purpose tool, I can recommend Yui Doc (download here).
I'd build a glamour browser for it. (If spending half a day building it wouldn't be too much).
[edit]
Glamour is a toolkit for building browsers on a model. The model would here consist of the various parts of the file(s) and the comments and attributes you'd like to add. This would allow you to easily navigate through the source and comments, to select only parts with (or without) certain attributes. There is a video and slides. Official page, Source
