Thanks Mike! I setup two test pages: http://www.jlhweb.org/mytest/index.php?fnc=test http://www.jlhweb.org/mytest/index.php?fnc=test2
A copy of the jQuery code is at: http://www.jlhweb.org/mytest/jquery.txt "test" has tinyMCE on the textarea. "test2" does not. "test" can only be edited one time on each load of index.php (for some unknown reason). "test2" can be edited with no limit. thanks!
