I have RTE working locally to be able to insert text into a mysql db. What im trying to do now is have a form that will repull the info from the db into an RTE text box so I can make edits to it. I am having an issue with it.

1. the rte form shows up but non of the buttons do anything and there are no errors that show up.

2. when I pull the data from the database nothing shows in the box but if I look at the source for the page it shows my text as the value for the box.

Is there a trick to making it get the stuff back from the db to make changes?

It sounds like the RTE textarea is failing to initialise correctly.

Check that your form works without the RTE, then apply the RTE to your working application following the install instructions.

If you still get errors, it could be a conflict with names within the form and/or page. Try changing the ID names for some of the elements within your form and page.
