AIR / HTML Bridging

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to handle an HTML page loaded using the
mx.controls.HTML, when trying to access the div element inside the
page, using the domWindow object, I've realized that i dont have
getElementById function so i insert the following javascript
function
function setText(id, text) {
var target = document.getElementById(id);
if (target != null) target.innerHTML = text;
and I call it from AIR in this way
browser.domWindow.setText("description", text);
the text is assigneg form a RTE control after a cleaning
operation of the produced tags and styles
text = cleanHTML( rte.textArea.htmlText) ; the result of
cleaning doesnt introduce any strange char just put
the html font tags in a compliant form.
it works but I have problem with chars like à è
ì ò ù space, thart are shows in the html page as
%E0, %E8, %20, ......
I've tried to understand why, the html page has this meta:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"
charset="ISO-8859-1" />
the page code of the HTML editor is using the same charset.
If I put an alert(text) in the javascritp function i can see
that the problem is already present and when tracing text variable
in the AIR app just before calling the javascript the result is a
clean string, so it's something in the middle.
Is there other ways to set a text in an HTML page from Air,
is there a list of available javascript functions.
A part of this problem the bridge between the twos works
well, AIR lets you to have a lot of control over the browser.
It it would be possible to have a better Flex Rich Text
Editor control would be really nice
Thanks in advance

To prevent the image from bing selectable or draggable, set the CSS properties: -webkit-user-drag and/or -webkit-user-select.
To stop the default context menu from appearing, you have to listen for the contextmenu event and call preventDefault(). (See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7de2.html).
