Hugo We appreciate the time taken to follow this one through; as before, my point stands - can we not upgrade the exisitng Cocoon stylesheets to ensure that htmlArea in Cocoon *as shipped* can work properly with tables (now that we know its possible).
Derek >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004/11/22 10:41:07 PM >>> Hello, To add some more details: I remenber from a HTMLArea faq that the HTMLArea.replace() function is causing the problem. In every <td> cell in IE hit by this problem, there is a Javascript HTMLArea.replace() call following the <textarea/> element. The only thing that has to be modified to the CForms stylesheets is to move this call to the "onLoad" of the <body> tag. I just did this little experiment. - I produced a file from my CForms pipeline that was OK in Firefox and not OK on IE (three HTMLArea fields in <td> cells). IE did show the toolbar only. - I did a save source as HTML in the browser and saved it as a .html file - I added a resource mapping for this *.html to my pilepline - I loaded the *. html file in IE: same problem. - I loaded the html file in an editor and moved the HTMLArea.replace() calls to the onLoad of the body. - I reloaded the *. html file in IE, and now it was working OK. - So it is working OK when your <textarea/> elements are in the <td> element. But your HTMLArea.replace() calls must be in onload. - The solution that works for IE is also working for FireFox (I tested with Mozilla 1.7). Hope this helps.
