HTML Editor (FCKEditor) broken in Safari (APEX 3.0)?

Hi folks,
When using Safari (3.1.1), FCKEditor does not load for me on page items of type HTML Editor). (It's fine using IE and FF). Safari reports:
Value undefined (result of expression func) is not object.
.../i/javascript/htmldb_html_elements.js (line 484)Searching the forum I found this reference:
AJAX result length > 32000
In his post there, Dan identifies what may be the problem:
"correct way to handle this is by using the FCKeditor_OnComplete function instead of an onload call. The function takes one parameter, the FCK Editor instance on the page, which in ApEx seems to have been made 'oFCKeditor';"
... but I'm still short of a fix.
Since FCKEditor is now bundled into APEX, I'd hope that APEX would successfully invoke it on all major browsers.
Does anybody (Apex team?) know a fix?
Has this been fixed at 3.1?
Thanks
john

Hello,
Has this been fixed at 3.1?Yes

APEX Supplied HTML Editor (fckeditor) - Limit number of characters

Hi
Has anyone found a way of limiting the number of characters allowed in the HTML Editor that is supplied with APEX (3.1/fckeditor)
I have had a look at the fckeditor web page and found a couple of plugins but I fear that this approach will require me to manually implement fckeditor, and not use the inbuilt one.
I would also prefer to not do this with an application process as the user can overflow the editor and get the HTTP-400 Value param too long error.
Regards
Matt

Dribble!
does this help? Is their anyway to limit the character count on a textarea with html editor

New HTML editor?

Just wanted to find out how others are using/not using the
new HTML editor in RH7.
Our HTML files are valid, coded HTML, and what the RH editor
does to them is, well, a bit scary. Changing tags, removing
information, removing comments and formatting/line breaks that take
the once well-coded HTML and make a jumble out of them.
So far, we've just been using an external editor to edit the
files, and just used RH to generate the files. RH has had issues
with some XML code in our files for awhile so the editor has always
been problematic (stripping out the XML code) but rather than an
improvement, it seems like the new version is just worse.
Am I missing something?

Anyhoo, since you ask: Say I need to add a class to a

When I press the spacebar after the p to start typing, a
pop-up appears giving me a list of various HTML tags.
Example:
quote:
<h5> ... </h5>
<h6> ... </h6>
<head> ... </head>
<html> ... </html>
...and so on. Why? What does the list mean? Things I
could add? What are they supposed to help me do? Isn't not
as a shortcut to typing because if I double-click one of the listed
items it merely inserts the code and doesn't replace the code
that's already there so I'd end up with
<p<h5></h5>> and end up having to spend time
correcting that mess.
The pop-up very nearly obscures what I'm typing and so I have
to click elsewhere to get the pop-up to go away. And it happens
every time.
It's a poke in the eye. I thought the HTML editor would be
more convenient, but now? I prefer using Notepad by an order of
magnitude. (And it's moot anyway since the HTML editor is broken--a
problem
I
described awhile back resurfaced and we're out of ideas on how
to fix it.)

Printing the data in "Textarea with HTML editor" item in APEX as pdf

Hello,
I have a requirement which goes like this.
The user enters data in the HTML editor in APEX. All the tools available in the HTML toolbar will be used (eg. bulleted points, tables etc.). This data is stored in a single cell in the database. This data needs to be generated as a pdf for printing. We have Apache FOP installed as well.
When I try to create a report region with this data and export it as pdf, the html tags are not considered. For eg. the table in the HTML editor doesn't appear as a table in the pdf, only the text appears.
Let me know if such a transformation is possible. Also, can any other tool perform this??
Note: The data in the HTML editor may not be in a fixed template. Whatever is entered there has to be converted.
Thanks in advance !!

The strip HTML attribute is set to "No" already. If you understood clearly, I need to convert the entire data in a HTML editor item to pdf. The data is stored in a single cell as HTML tags in the database. The data may inturn contain HTML tables as well. These HTML tables are not captured in the pdf, only the text within the tables are displayed.

Safari problem with visual HTML editor

HI,
I think you'd have better luck for answers by contacting the site support area.
You could try using the Firefox for Mac browser instead.

Always good to have a back up browser regardless and it might be more user friendly for that particular site.

APEX - Textarea with HTML Editor.

All,
I am working with Application Express Version 2.2.1.00.04
I have the following problem:
I have an item "Textarea with HTML Editor" which I am inserting
information CLOB in a table.
This data is consulted by a Region Report of APEX which has a Link that
will be a popup. Inside the report, I use wwv_flow_utilities.URLENCODE
(here the column is a CLOB) where it gives me the error "ORA-06502:
PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small".
I started to investigate which might be the problem and saw that the
item "Textarea with HTML Editor" usually inserts special characters.
I show an example of the special character that inserts and which is the
error.
SELECT wwv_flow_utilities.URLENCODE(' ')
FROM dual;
This character, which is like a space in target, is bringing problems to
be able to execute the report.
A provisional solution to solve this problem is to put a REPLACE into
the Query.
Has anyone this problem.???? Do you know why this character can be
inserted??????
Thx..

Thanks Dimitri!
I'm trying to find this place in the application but I don't have enough privileges. Here, we are working with Application Express 2.2.1 and we have to upgrade to 3.1.1.
In order to improve the behaviour of HTML Editor Standard, I think we should integrate FCK to our application, do you know about any step by step explanation to achieve this? Because I was searching this information in the forums, but I can't find anything. Please, any information you can share with me will be very helpful
Thanks again!

Add image/object in HTML Editor Standard item (apex 3.2)

Hi,
I'm using the HTML editor standard item from Apex3.2.
I want the possibility to add an image/object in the editor, but I don't see that option on the HTML editor standard item.
How do I activate this option? Can someone help me out please?
I've found something on:
http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/enable-add-picture-for-html-editor/#high_1
Is this the only & easiest solution?
Thanks,

Sunenny,
Yes, it would take something like that. Another option, although not any easier really, it to use the latest CKEditor.

APEX - Spelling check and textarea with html editor

I have an item on the form defines as textarea with html editor. I also need to be able to do spelling check, but the "textarea html editor" only has font features and no spelling check. Is there away to define an item to have both spelling check and font features in APEX? Any response is greately appreciated.
Thank you,
MT

MT,
No, this is not a supported region type in APEX 3.2.
You can take a look at jQuery and the number of rich text editors available for it: http://www.queness.com/post/212/10-jquery-and-non-jquery-javascript-rich-text-editors
Hope this helps.

Safari Mac won't display Rich Text HTML editor in Yahoo web mail

"Safari 3.2 (Mac)", "Yahoo email", "Compose Message" Toolbar, Rich Text (HTML) editor.
In Yahoo's Compose Message editor, I don't see the Rich Text (HTML) editor and its toolbar while using Safari 3.2 in Yahoo mail (classic). In Firefox, I see the Rich Text editor toolbar and it works fine.
I've searched on this forum, including Yahoo and others, and don't see this complaint. Is there something I've overlooked?
Is Safari Mac even capable of running the Rich Text editor in Yahoo email?

Hi Semi,
I found this in the Yahoo Mail Help:
How do I write in BOLD, italics or Color, or change font size?
On the Compose page, above the upper-right corner of the compose window, there's a link that either says Rich Text or Plain Text. Click this link to switch back and forth between the two. Since the link is the switch, you'll actually see Plain Text when you're in Rich Text.
In Rich Text, you can change the look of your message in a bunch of different ways. Again, since the link is there to switch from one mode to the other, if you see Plain Text, that means you're already in Rich Text! If you see Rich Text, click it.
The Rich Text toolbar appears above the Compose window.
Spell check
Going from left to right, the first button is the 'abc' spell-check button. Click it anytime to check your spelling starting at the beginning of your email. When you're finished, click Close.
Font and Size
Font: The Font button has two F’s on it. Click it to view other Font choices and select another Font.
Size: Click the button with two A’s on it to choose the size of type you want. Browse the menu and click the size you want.
Bold, Italics and Underline
B is for Bold, I is for Italics, and U is for Underline. Emphasize your point! :o)
To use these formatting tools, either click a button and start typing, or, select a block of text (or one word), and then click a button to format the text.
color
Text Color: Click the "T" button to see a palette of many colors. Select the text color you want, and start typing. Or, select a block of text (or one word), and then click the button to apply the color.
Background color: Want to give your text a background color? Either click the highlighter color you want and then start typing, or, select the text to which you'd like to add a background, then press this button to apply the highlighting color.
Emoticons
Add emotional oomph to what you say by selecting from the list of graphical emoticons.
Links and Lines
Globe with Links button: Insert a web site link!
Line button: Insert a horizontal line. Handy!
Alignment
Choose from flush-left, centered, or flush-right text alignment.
Lists
Bullets and Numbering button: create bulleted or numbered lists.
Indenting
Decrease Indent: Place the cursor where you would like to move the text to the left and click the "Decrease Indent" button.
Increase Indent: Place the cursor where you would like to move the text to the right and click the "Increase Indent" button.
Yahoo hasn't the best rich text editor out there for e-mail. Why not use Mac Mail... so much easier and supports RT. Yahoo having laid off personnel, I doubt if their internet based mail client sees much in the way of improvement anytime soon.

How to create an HTML editor on Apex with the buttons for editing?

Hi,
I would like to have an online editor similar to the one I am using to post this thread with a bold, itallic and links button.
I see there are HTML editor items, however it doesn't have the bold, font buttons when I create the page?
Below are from the HELP section.
HTML Editor Standard - Provides more editing functionality, such as font, format and color, than HTML Editor Minimal.
Text Area with HTML Editor - Provides basic text formatting controls. Note that these controls may not work in all Web browsers.
Thanks.

Apex 3.0 Html Editor Standard item - Add feature.

Hi,
Can I customize your new Html Editor Standard field? I would like to add some buttons that will pop-up window.
In futur, do you know if you will have package or something to customize the item ?
Thanks

This cannot be customized. In a future release we might (might) have an editor that you can customize but we do not have that now. The very last icon you see in the Standard HTML Editor is 'Maximize the editor size' (looks like a window) and it will expand the textarea to fill your screen.

Textarea with HTML editor is not working

Hi all,
This is producing me a real headache.
I created the simplest application in the world with one Textarea with HTML editor, and the editor control does not show the usual tool bar for fonts, color, alignment, etc. Just a ordinary textarea.
Moreover, this was working before... I moved to another location in my work (me, not the server). Yes, I thought about the Internet Explorer, but Firefox has the same issue.
So any idea I can try to make this work?
I have another applications already in production with the same issue.
Need help!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Lukas,
I would go and integrate FCKEDITOR (http://www.fckeditor.net/ ) into your application.
Here are instructions on how to achieve this (sorry but only in German):
http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/tipps/einbinden_fckeditor/index.html
It basically means:
1) copying the files from fckeditor under the /images directory
(you can use the instructions here: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html)
2) creating two shortcuts INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS and EDITOR
3) placing the shortcut INCLUDE_EDITOR_SCRIPTS into the page html header and
4) placing the shortcut EDITOR into the post element text of your plain textarea element
That's it.
BTW, FCKEDITOR has been included in Apex 3.0 as a standard item type.

~Dietmar.

How can I Integrate FCKEditor 2.6 in APEX???

Hello! I want integrate FCKEditor 2.6 in Apex and i need your help.
Now I use the standard html editor of Apex but i don't like the code generated for the editor...
For example, I write a text and this is the code generated for the size:
size="7" <= The HTML in Apex not recognize this html code.
However in FCKEditor 2.6, the same text, generated this code for the size:
style="font-size:...."
And this is correct in the html of Apex.
And then, the colors ... if I write two diferent sizes, with two diferent colors. In the html of Apex I see ONE size and two colors. However in FCKEditor 2.6 all is correct.
For more information, now I use the Apex 3.0.1.00.08, for the editor text I use a item with "HTML Editor Standard" and for see the results I use a report with "Standard report column"
Thanks!

How can I use javascript in a Text Area with HTML editor??

My question is... how can I use javascript in Text Area with HTML editor??
I can use javascript functions that change the content of Text Areas but i can´t if i try in text area with html editor....
I need to limit number of characters in a text area with html editor and i can´t.
could anybody help me please?

I have been experiencing similar problems with the HTML Editor and have managed to find an answer that should start to answer some of my questions. The Apex HTML Editor Standard is actually an HTML editor called FCKeditor. The FCKeditor has a Javascript API that can be found at http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API. Unfortuately this doesn't seem to give the whole answer and I found more at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49607.
I needed to get the text entered within my html editor standard (e.g. P1_MYTEXT) and use it within my javascript function. I did this by using the following script
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showtext(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P1_MYTEXT');
var editortext = escape(oEditor.GetXHTML(oEditor.FormatOutput));
alert(editortext);
</script>
Hope this helps.
