I have a problem with the beta version of RTE V3, concerning layers in IE6, (WinXP).

There is a layer on top of the basic information of the page.
In this layer there is a form with the RTE-textarea.
Everyting works fine, but when the user clicks a button to hide the layer (and show the underlaying information), all the entered text disappears as expected,
but graphical things like emoticons or inserted imaged are still visible.

Any ideas why this happens and how to overcome it???

To show what I mean, here is a very basic code example that should work if you already have installed RTE V3.

================================================================ start code example:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialiseWebWizRTE();" >
<table width="100%" border="1" >
<tr>
      <td onClick="switchlayerIE('Layer1')">layer on/off</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p> </p>
<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:510px; height:409px;
     z-index:1; left: 145px; top: 76px;">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
    <table width="100%" height="283" border="1" bordercolor="#99CCFF">
      <tr>
        <td> <% dim strFormName, strTextAreaName
       strFormName = "form1"
       strTextAreaName = "textarea1" %>
    
  </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><textarea name="textarea1" cols="50" rows="10" id="textarea1"></textarea></td>
      </tr>

    </table>
</form>

</div>
</body>
</html>

end code example ==================================

In stead of using layers, which in my opionon still are not support well enough by browsers a suck use tables.

You could create a table containing your form giving that table an ID.

Then use CSS to hide the table.

tableID.style.display = 'none';

This would then hide that table.
