OK, I found out it's ZoneAlarm's "Mobile Code" feature that is inserting that line of code.
The mobile code feature prevents activex controls and mime encoded stuff from loading. So, I do want to keep this feature ON.
Even if I were to turn off mobile code before I log into newspad, I have to close ALL of my browsers then relaunch one in order for Newspad's RTE to work, which is a pain to do - and the only way to eliminate this hassle is to permanentely disable mobile code, which I don't want to do either - a real dilemma.
However, since the RTE works fine in WWForum when mobile code is enabled, there must be a way to get it working in Newspad when mobilecode is enabled.
Do you have any ideas what the difference is in how you implement the RTE in Newspad as appose to WWForums?
