Hello Guru Borg!
 
I'm planning to use your textarea on an webapplication i'm working on.
 
 
I need some support on 2 things...
 
A) I can't find out how to add "tabindex=3" to the textarea. On my page i want the user to start adding a name, a subject and then some case details. But if you use the keyboard tabs to navigate then the textarea is skipped and this is annoying. I guess it has to do with the embedded iframe???
 
B) Most of the case details will be cut and pasted from outlook 2007. Often a lot of word formatting is included and i need to remove that. Your "past from word"-button does what i want to do, but, i dont want to open a dedicated window for that purpose. The best solution would be to call a function when pressing a button that deletes the word formatting in the main textarea. Perhaps i need this as default, i don't know. Is this possible to accomplish?
 
Keep up the good work. I really like your products.

A) Because of the way RTE's have to work I don't think it is possiable to include a tab index, at least none I have come across. If you do find away I would be very interested to know.

B). Can be done. I guess the way you would do it is take the WordTidy function from the Paste From Word Tool and use it in your own function which is fired by an onclick even from a button which takes the data from the RTE area runs it through the WordTidy code and places it back into the RTE Area.
