    Posted: 20 April 2004 at 10:14am
I have made some little modifications to my forum but nothing to the RTE that I could think of and I have retraced my steps but to no avail.  I recently started using Mozilla's browser (because it is so highly recommended here) and have (like others) gotten attached. 

My problem is that the RTE seems to not be functioning properly in Mozilla (1.6), but seems to work fine in IE (6.x).  By that I mean I can select buttons from the RTE toolbars and get a popup but I don't believe they are the RTE popups because for instance when I select the then I get a popup with only a choice to enter a hyperlink and not mail, ftp and etc...as I do with IE.  My RTE is enabled.  Also the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons are not showing.  This is in my forum and on this forum.  But they are showing in IE (both forums).

Now I don't mind doing the work and I have tried several searches but to no success.  So if the question has already been asked and answered I apologize.  I am not asking someone to fix it because I did modify some of my pages, but if anyone has any ideas where to begin my search in the code then I would appreciate it.

It is functioning correctly.

Microsoft with IE and Mozilla have both implemented RTE features into their browsers in different ways.

For example to create a link using the button, in IE you do get a choice of FTP, HTTP, etc. in Mozilla you don't. Also in IE you just need to type the link and it converts to a URL. In Mozilla you need to highlight some text then click the URL button to convert it into a link.

Cut, copy, and paste, functions are not available in Mozilla as for security reasons Mozilla comes with these functions dsiabled by default (not sure about the latest relased not checked). To enable these features you need to edit certain files found in Mozilla with a text editor.

Editing files in your browser is beyond most general users, and so the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons are not available for Mozilla users.

However Mozilla does have some other excellent features in their RTE implementation, including much better formatted HTML produced. Also have a go at resizing an image in Mozilla.

I tried to delete my post and move it because I noticed after posting that I was in the MODs forum, but my connection bombed and it took a  while for it come back up.  By that time you had already moved it.  Sorry about that.

I guess most of that is probably documented somewhere, huh?  Maybe I should read a little more next time.

What about adding email addresses in Mozilla?  Do I use the hyperlink button and change the tag to mailto: or ???

No worries, Mozilla is definitely my choice from now on.  It rocks!!!!  You have convinced another.

Replacing http:// with mailto: will work. http:// is placed in the javascript box by the forum side not the RTE browser side.

I've done this as otherwise people not use to the internet often just type www.xxx.com and miss out the http:// part of the link, thuse the browser looks for that as being a file.
