[resolved] Visual Editor Doesn't work at all (4 posts)

    Hello,
    I am at a loss. I have 2 WP installations running on 2 IIS sites hosted by CrystalTech using php 5. One of them is in the root and one is in a sub. I have all the services enabled. Everything is working great except the visual editor. I hours into figuring out what is going on to no avail.

    I have the 'Use visual editor' option checked for the user. When I bring up the write screen I see 2 tabs - Visual and Code - and that is it. There are no toolbars or buttons. Clicking on the tabs does nothing - Visual stays selected either way. There is a scrollbar. I can type in the box. When I save what I typed it redisplays the contents with the html codes showing.

    It has worked this way from the initial installation on. I tried installing wp super edit and such but it always looks the same.

    I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. I tried the prototype.js fix mentioned here previously but I don't have that file. I have cleared every cache I have. No luck. Any idea's? Please....

    Thank you very much,
    Glenn

    Javascript enabled in your browser? What browser are you using?

    Any "security suites" installed that might be trying to protect you? I recall some problems with Norton and ZA Pro in the past.

    Yes, javascript is enabled. I use both IE7 and Firefox 2. Both produce the same result.

    No suites. I have sworn off the suites - way too slow and invasive. I switched to Nod32 and couldn't be happier.

    I just opened the error console in Firefox and found the following error:

    Error: realTinyMCE is not defined
    Source File: http://www.gnamortgage.com/blog/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php?ver=20070326
    Line: 43

    The function in question is:

    TinyMCECompressed.prototype.onLoad = function() {
    	if (tinyMCE.isLoaded)
    		return true;
    
    	tinyMCE = realTinyMCE;
    	TinyMCE_Engine.prototype.onLoad();
    	tinyMCE._addUnloadEvents();
    
    	tinyMCE.isLoaded = true;
    }

    Any thoughts?

    I seem to have found the problem. I overrode the $supportsGzip var to always be false and the problem is resolved. I hate editing the WordPress code but I am very happy to finally resolve this. The whole post with this fix is located here:
