I'm trying to get the Spell Checker for HTMLArea to work. I've installed Perl and Text::Aspell. Perl appers to be working. When I click on the Spell Check button, the window launches, but in the window where the spell checking should appear, I just get a blank page. Also, there are no dictionaries in the drop down list at the top of the Spell Checker window. Are there some additional steps I need to take to get it to work? Any help is appreciated.

reproduce:
1. open example core.html
2. ctrl+a; del
3. click on insert image button
4. paste http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif into URL
5. add all other info as Alt Text, Border, etc
6. Click ok
7. View HTML
Final Result: <img src="http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif" />
!!! No alt text or any other property has been set thus were defined

same happens on current RC1 and on version taken down from CVS (today).

anyone else can comfirm that? This is a rather annoying bug if HTMLArea is used in production environment.

Hi, if you type in htmlarea some international character: é = &ecute; or & = & the html translation is not done, i mean you will have é or & in your html generated by htmlarea but not &ecute; or & is it a bug or a feature to turn on/off ?

Try This..

Write a few lines in a txt-file. such as

test
test
test

copy them to a htmlarea in Internet Explorer..

so and now the problem, try to format the first line to an other formatblock such as [Heading 1]

what do you get?

im getting

<p>
<h1>
test
test
test
</h1>
</p>

and thats not realy what i want...

are there any workarounds?

I want to use the HTMLArea in my own CMS.
The CMS is used by Users. This Users don't even know how to spell html.

But they use Copy&Paste such as they never made something else.

I'm trying to write a code, that strips out unwanted tags, formats, styles, colors, fonts and all this stuff nobody want to see on the homepage.
The wordclean function isn't bad, i used it for the major things.
Now i have Problems with IE. IE's executeCommand isn't doing the same as the function in mozilla.

As Sample the Forecolor Command:

IE
<p>test</p> -> <p><font color="#000000">test</font></p>

Mozilla
<p>test</p> -> <span style="color:#000000;">test</span></p>

So and now try to strip out the font-tag.. ;)

anyone in here had the same problem?

the code i wrote:

HTMLArea.prototype._cleanup = function() {
var value = this.getInnerHTML();
var vlen1 = value.length;
var v1 = value;
value = value.

replace(/<style[^>]*>[^\n]*<\/style[^>]*>/g, '');

//dummy
this.setHTML(value);

//debug
var value = this.getInnerHTML();
var vlen2 = value.length;
alert(v1 + "\n" + "\n" + value + "\n" + "\n" + "Cleaned.. " + (vlen1 - vlen2) + " Zeichen entfernt!");

this.forceRedraw();
this.updateToolbar();
}

I've recently downloaded HTMLArea. Everything was ok, but when I want to edit text color, bgcolor, tables and everything that use a pop-up page to create de HTML code is broken (i'm using IE).

The browser give me an "Access denied" message... in both original and pop-up page when I clicked on any "pop-up icon".

I've change the entire pop-up and root directory (yes, all files) into a CHMOD 777, but nothing happens...

Thanks for all.

I'm trying to use the SpellChecker plugin but every time I click the spellcheck button I get the spellcheck window but it just displays the contents of the spell-check-logic.cgi perl script.

I have added this to a php page, and I get no error msg in the browser, but the editor dont show up either.

IF i look at the java console I do have error msg's there.
They are as follows:

Error: syntax error

Error: HTMLArea is not defined

Now, the path to the editor i have coded as

/public_html/htmlarea/

public_html is my root.
If i take that off of the front of the path, then i get a browser message saying that the path is not defined at all, and that I need to define it.

I am at a total loss, I am sure its a path problem, but just not sure what to try now.
i have tried htmlarea by itself,, and that dont work.

HELP!!! <pulling at hair>

Can someone direct me to what i need to do ? or what i did wrong?

Thanks in advance

Tom
