Topic: RTE not working at all

I'm trying to integrate the RTE into a web page to see if it is something that our company would want to use on our multiple web sites. I've downloaded the files and followed the instructions in the 'ReadMe' file completely and to the letter, yet I don't see anything on my web page that indicates the presence of the RTE in any way except there is extra code when I look at 'view source' for the page.

Since all of the other people on this forum are at least seeing something in their implementations, it is obvious that I have done something wrong so the instructions that I followed were woefully inadequate. Yes, the files are on an ASP server and all of that. I have the 'onload' command in the body tag and I have tried to put the appropriate code in various places since the place that the readme file said to put it did not work. Yes, I've put in the appropriate values for the form name and the name of the text area that it was supposed to replace had it worked.

I had a lot of hope for this application and was very disappointed when it did not work in any way. What have I done wrong?

Most problems are because the form elements don't have the correct name and id properties:-

<form name="myform" id="myform">
<textarea name="mytextarea" id="mytextarea"></textarea>
</form>

Unfortunately, this one doesn't seem to fit into the "most problems" category! All of the 'name' and 'id' attributes are there and set properly.

I've put the RTE code inside of the table that makes up the form and I've tried it at the top of the ASP page, but still nothing. Is it the location of the code?

Also, I have another company's editor on the same page. Since that one worked right away, could the 2 apps be conflicting??

If you are trying to run 2 on the same page you more likely are coursing conflicts.

You may also want to run Firefox web browser as it has a good Error Console which can display if you are getting any page errors, which should help find the problem.

I also found that if I use the members only script from S2H on a page that has RTE on it, I get an error. I think it is conflicting with the RTE on the forum. The members only script uses:

Is there a way round this conflict. Or is there another way of password protecting other pages based on Forum username and passwords?

Thanks

This isn't really in keeping inline with this topic. This has more to do with some third party mod and the RTE.

You should start a new topic on this or try contacting the 3rd party who's mod you are using in conjunction with this.
