Hi guys,

Making sure I've done this correctly. The code works like a charm in IE but in FireFox, the editor box doesn't line up with the text area and also does not work. I have:

<%
    'Name of the HTML form the textarea is within
    strFormName = "reply"

    'ID tag name of HTML textarea being replaced
    strTextAreaName = "strRBody"
    %>
    
    
    <textarea rows="10" name="strRBody" cols="64"></textarea>

And initialiseWebWizRTE(); onload in the body. I get a bunch of JS problems in FireFox such as:

Error: textArea has no properties
Source File: http://www.coldclimbs.co.uk/forum/RTE_javascript.asp?Textarea=strRBody - http://www.coldclimbs.co.uk/forum/RTE_javascript.asp?textArea=strRBody
Line: 21

and

Error: document.getElementById("WebWizRTE") has no properties
Source File: http://www.coldclimbs.co.uk/forum/RTE_javascript.asp?Textarea=strRBody - http://www.coldclimbs.co.uk/forum/RTE_javascript.asp?textArea=strRBody
Line: 126
^^ This appears whenever you click on bold or italics.

Thanks in advance,

Trevor

Should work fine in Firefox as I wrote it and tested it more in Firefox than IE.

You could try changing the name of the form from 'reply' to something else as this could be couring the problems.

I changed strFormName to "doNewReply" and still no go. Very peculiar

I had the same problem, but I found that you have to use the ID value of the textarea, not the NAME. Try this:

You can give it whatever name you want, but you have to define the ID attribute and use that as the value for strTextAreaName.

HOWEVER, the strFormName does use the NAME attribute on the <FORM> tag.

It can be confusing...one uses ID, the other uses NAME.

Once I got it straight, it worked fine for me in IE and Firefox.

I ran into this too. It was a bit confusing at first until I figured out my trial and error the ID/NAME thing you just mentioned.
