Hmm…just a wild guess, but would somebody in an htmlarea3 forum be able to help?

well considering the message is about intergrating htmlarea into wordpress,
I would have thought that this forum would have been the place to ask
of course using wp instead of wordpress might have confused some
apoligies will try and make it clearer next time
Does the textarea have an ID?

am intergrating on the standard edit.form.php page
at moment have it set to
HTMLArea.replace(‘content’);
which is the id for the main content bit yes?
works fine under ie but as said mozilla has no joy
@mikeh,
Sorry, dude. My brain focussed on the “integrated with ie” portion of your question.
<slaps forehead…again> DOH!

No worries Mr Moose
Wonders of internet and all that, I should have used subject better
On the htmlarea thing
As thinking that perhaps other java is the problem, read a thread about open.window calls (?) I removed all the other java stuff…but still no joy
Before try doing a fully custom post page, just thought have a last shout in case anyone has actully managed to get it (htlmarea3) working in mozilla
or have a few clues
anyone?
thanks

check out “drupal”
it has a “htmlarea” module
tested and works in moz firefox
maybe you can lift some code from there and apply it here
no guerantees.

any news on this? htmlarea sure is a handy tool, esp. since it now seems to work with moz and ie.
Doesn’t work in Safari, IIRC.

too bad.
tried xopus.org in safari?
xopus.org demo crashed Camino and gave this message in Safari:
Xopus could not start.
At this moment Xopus only runs inside of Internet Explorer 5.5 and up on Windows 98 or up.
We hope to support Mozilla in Q1 2004.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
i never would have thought I’d say that but after having installed htmlarea for various people who do not know html I came to detest it. htmlarea is the road to sloppy and messy html pages, esp. in the hands of the unknowing and to be honest, what do WE need htmlarea for? I’d rather have that perfect “template” that puts my content in place nicely.
but then again, htmlarea has it’s advantages, no doubt.
has any Mac user tried out http://www.bitfluxeditor.org/ yet? I’d be curious if it really works for Mac, too.
I have to agree with ihad – htmlarea and similars can make a mess. I recommend that anyone using it should strip it down to the barest essentials of menus and buttons. Remove the font selection and sizes as well as the tables, horizontal rules and all colors. And then ask yourself if you really need it… The only advantage over the quicktags is that you see what you think you might get… Try htmlarea out when you have users who will never know html, but never trust it more than you’d trust those users.
I will be using htmlarea only because I already have it semi integrated with a script for uploading, resizing and db-ing images. This way I can see and correct the flow of text around the images right away, instead of storing as draft and clicking back and forth a lot. In fact most other code will be stripped away or replaced so the perfect template isn’t disturbed… So I do ask myself – do I really need it? Probably not.
