First off, I think it's awesome that we're using HTMLArea in this new editor. Secondly, I work for a non-profit organization and we're trying to fit HTMLArea into a php/mysql project I'm doing. If this can work, we will definitely contribute. (I know you've heard this promise before, but if the organization doesn't, I will.)

I'm not sure if these forums are open yet -- I figured I'd register and give it a try.

I'm currently using RC1 to write documents - For printing, I have two choices. The first (and current implementation) is to run the output through a converter like html2ps/HTML_To_PDF (@ rustyparts.com) - The bad side of this is that html2ps doesn't like span tags. - The bad news about span tags is that HTMLArea via Mozilla loves them. IE5.5 (my current version) still outputs <em>, <strong> etc, though (most of) these tags are deprecated. I don't want to force my users to be on IE5.5.. in fact, quite the opposite. My hope is to eventually go to a thin-client setup where all users will be on Mozilla via ltsp.org -- The second choice for printing is to slap the HTML into a 600-pixel width table and just hope for the best. This is much less desirable.

My question is - Will the 3.0 release magically (heh) alleviate my problems? Should I just wait and see? Is there a better Linux alternative to html2ps (other than htmldoc - no love there either) that I should be looking into? I've dug the far reaches of the Internet for a solution to this.

Why in the HTMLArea fully loaded example the Syntax is disabled? How could I enabled it?

Are there any (probably post-3.0 plans) to look at additional browsers like Safari and Opera? Has anyone been able to get HTML area working on those browsers?

Hello, I have problem with inserting images. When put complete URL (including "http://") to the form and save it, in the HTML is the URL cutted-off. For example: I have the form placed at http:/www.example.comexample.html and picture at http:/www.example.comstore/pic1.jpg. After saving I get only "store/pic1.jpg" in the HTML code. This goings I can see only in MSIE. I tried Mozilla and Firefox too, there I get complete URL. How can I solve this problem?

Thanks much

Hi there - ive been looking at htmlarea for some time - it looks fantastic.

Im a small freelance webdesigner and i think about using HTMLarea for my solutions (eg CMS) - can I do that?

I want take any credit or cash for HTMLarea - the script + files will be kept intact, but I will create different types of CMS solutions for my clients (witch I will charge them for).

So in few words can I use HTMLarea in other commercial applications ??

If I make a lot of money ofcourse donations wil go your way :-)

Hi there,

Before I go into my problem, just wanted to say HTMLArea is a great tool. Thanks guys!

Now for the problem. I have HTMLArea in a editor application and one of the tools the client needs is the insert table function.  Right now I'm testing it using Firefox PR1, and it all seems to be going great, except when I launch the "Insert Table" tool.  The tool launches, but doesn't allow me to set any of the fields in the form to create the table, but also doesn't throw an error.

I'm on RC1 with the spell checker, table operations, context menu, Dynamic CSS and Full Page plugins.

I notice that the table insert works for me from this editor - is this something that has been fixed in CVS build?

Regards

Stephen

Is there a mailing list to join to get emails when a new version comes out?

Mishoo,

First, let me say "thank you" for your continued efforts on HTMLArea 3.0! Every day I'm just glad that you haven't given up :) As a non-IE environment (and non-Micros**t, where possible. I do hate MS and I have no problem saying it... both for their business practices and the general "quality" of their code), version 3.0 is important to us, and I haven't seen a better WYSIWYG editor than HTMLArea yet.

I have been trying to incorporate HTMLArea 3.0 into our CMS for some time with limited success. To clarify, it works fine except when it encounters unusual code constructs that arise from custom CMS tags. For example, it does bad things to code like this:
Hmmm... can't type it here because the forum messes with the tags, too... suffice it to say there's a tag nested within a tag.

I've tried workarounds, but they either don't behave in all instances or disable too much of the editor's abilities.

What I'd like is for code "cleaning" to occur ONLY when pasting in WYSIWYG mode. If content is pasted in source code mode, or the user switches from source code to WYSIWYG, I DON'T want it to touch the code.

What is the possiblity of having this custom coded, and at what cost structure?

Thanks,

Todd

I'm testing htmlarea for a CMS usage, but I'd like to display only one toolbar to manage several textarea.
The goal is to have several fields (title, intro, text) but only one toolbar which acts into the selected field.

Do you know if it's possible ?

I posted a tiny flaw for inserting a link on an image in IE on the interactivetools forum. Don't want to duplicate things, so here just is the link:
