Hi Im having a bit of a problem with the new RTE.  Overall it's fantastic, I love it, but for some reason the Preview function seems to be messing up on me.

When I click on the preview button, it opens a window but displays nothing in it (Source code just looks like <html></html>).  Then if I click on the Submit form button after that, it opens a proper preview window.  Of course though, that means that my Submit button no longer works for submitting because now it only opens preview windows.  Any idea what the problem might be?  Almost everything else seems to work wonderfully apart from the preview button problem.  I guess I should also mention that Im using IE 6.0

Also one other small thing is that there seems to be a comma appending to the end of my textarea when I submit the information to my database.  This could just be a problem with my own ASP, but if anyone else has had a similar problem Id appreciate any suggestions that might help me debug this a little quicker.  Thanks.

It sounds like some of your own javascript in the form you are placing the RTE into is interfering with the RTE's javascript. Probably something to do with if you have your own javascript to handle form submission.

The problem with the comma, and possibly connected to your submit/preview problem, is usually coursed if there is multiple elements in your form with the same name. Make sure that you do not have any elements in your own form that have the same name or ID tag as those used by the RTE.

Well I still havent figured out what was causing the preview problems.  I dont have any other javascript on that page that I know of.  It's not a problem though as Ive just disabled the preview button entirely.  I only plan to use this for posting short announcements so alot of the higher functions like previewing or file uploading are not really necessary anyway.

The comma problem you were spot on.  I had a leftover hidden field that I had forgot to cleanup from a previous experiment and it had the same name as the RTE area.  Thanks.
