HTML Editor Minimal sporadically appearing

Hi,
Perhaps an easy problem to fix: I have three separate CLOB fields in one table and my Apex
form has three "HTML Editor Minimal" textareas for each respective field.
When I run the page, the position where the rectangular box ought to be (including the fancy style
buttons such as Bold, Italic and so forth) sometimes don't appear.
On other ocassions, these shapes appear on the screen but about five or ten seconds behind the
rest of the page.
I've tried waggling the mouse, clicking in the missing gaps, scrolling the screen but to no avail.
Other times, the right minimal editors appear fine and quite quickly. Problems seem to occur both
on Internet Explorer (v8) and Firefox (v3.6).
Any known "funnies" with such editors? Any known gotchas?
Thanks in advance
Mungo

any ideas are appreciated.
thanks,
Surya

Never mind, I found the problem.

HTML Editor Minimal item bug

I have item of type "HTML Editor Minimal". I tried to insert a link into the text area box, but it doesn't work in Mozilla. It brings up the pop-up page when I click the "insert link" icon, but it does not fill in lthe text area with link, however the link is inserted in IE. In my applciation, I'm trying to insert multiple links and save them in this text area, when the user edits the page next time I would like these links to be actual url which are clickable in the text area itself instead of cut &paste of the link in the brower address bar. but the saved links in IE are not actual url which are clickable, they are apprearing as text links. any ideas are appreciated.

Configure HTML editor Minimal

The HTML Editor Standard takes up a large space for a text field. I need only the "Insert Special Character" for many text fields on a form in the event the text needs diacritical marks. Is it possible to configure the "HTML Editor Minimal' to add the ""Insert Special Character" or is it possible to just use "Insert Special Character" alone with nothing else?

Hallo,
This is exactly what I need. Did you ever find a soltion for this?
Thx, Willi

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.

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.

HTML Editor in 9.0.2

Does anyone know if the HTML editor can be attached to custom text attributes. It would be great if all text attributes could use the new HTML editor during content entry.

Hi
The changing of relative to absolute is the one that bothers me. I think it also added line breaks, which caused problems with gaps appearing between images.
The other one I remember is adding <tbody> tags to a table.
I would prefer it if one could prevent the editor from making any changes in the HTML whatsoever. As an option maybe.
Is it possible to create a simple HTML item as a shared component that one could drop into any page?
Regards
Harry
What changes are you seeing?
I know that the editor converts relative links to absolute links (a bug has been logged for this and the issue is mentioned in the release notes).

Single line space after enter in html editor standard

hi,
In html editor standard, if I press enter then it goes to 3rd line and if I press shift+enter then it goes to 2nd line.
How can I change this shift+enter functionality to enter only.
It should ge to 2nd line just by clicking enter only.....
Thanks

It's an HTML editor, NOT a text editor. It generates an HTML document fragment, NOT lines of plain text.
Pressing return generates an HTML paragraph element (), which is then affected by a CSS styling rule (either for the editor, the page, or the default for the browser) which is adding a margin (usually 1em, i.e. roughly 1 "line").
Pressing shift+return generates an HTML break element ( ), which splits the current paragraph but is not subject to CSS in this case.
If HTML structure is needed in this item, but the appearance is inappropriate, then modify the CSS. If not, use a plain textarea and display the resulting text as a <pre> element to preserve the whitespace as entered.

External HTML editor for RH

Hi all,
I would be interested in hearing of any external HTML editors
that RH users like using with RH instead of its internal editor.
Somebody please suggest a free (or almost free) HTML editor
that features lots of features, eg, hiliting, split Design/HTML
windows, clean XHTML code and checker.
Wasn't there once some browser called Mozila? Or was it
called Netscape?

>> RH MVPS? Adobe Community Expert is the term. There's
no such term as RH MVPS.
Right, now they are called Adobe Community Experts.
>> As soon as you open the topic in RH's editor it is
going to rewrite the code.
You know what, I don't care if RH rewrites the code, just as
long as RH leaves the result appearance looking nice, i.e., it
doesn't smash up the appearance .
>> Go back to your original post here. What is it that
is missing in the RH editor? It will not be the cleaner code. RH7
cleaned up a lot and I expect more from RH8. But until then RH will
rewrite the code so I cannot see the benefit.
It's been a while now before I gave up in disgust, and went
to writing in Word. But I had expected to be able to work in WSYWYG
like in MEW or Word, with powerful style management. I expected
there to be an easy access Styles side pane. There is not. The
numbered lists were not reliable; they restarted when they were not
supposed to. Both numbered and bulleted lists get confused about
their indentation. It's lucky that I once taught myself MEW with
HTML/CSS , so after a short refresher I could go into the HTML view
and clean up all the code and make the lists the way they are
supposed to be. But since I am at a new client and only working
there at 100 hr/month, I had to show some real content output, and
fast, and so I had no more time for RH trial and error. So I went
back to Word (-- 2007, which I also did not know, but since I am
(supposed to be) a Word 2003 guru I knew what I was looking for and
that all the features are supposed to exist -- ) and wrote my first
drafts with that.
Actually, I am so shocked at RH's bad WSYWGY editor, if I had
any choice I would recommend to my client to look for something
better (if such a thing exists -- dare I mention Flare...), but
since RH is an important TW skill, I want to add it to my skills
list. So if my client has recommended using RH, this is a good
opportunity to learn RH on their account.
I have a feeling that I am eventually going to make a full
circle, i.e., either I won't find cheap/free HTML editor taht does
want I want, or even if I do, I will eventually run into the
problems you mention, and I will end up writing in raw HTML, just
as you say.
Actually, on 2nd thoughts, I also have to be honest with my
client, and I don't think they would be happy to hear that a guy
who takes over from me at some point, or is hired in addition to
me, would have to write HTML/CSS. They would want to hear that
there is some type of WSYWYG solution for RH, either internal or
external.

JDev: Annoying feature of HTML editor

In the source pane of an html page write: Visit Oracle 
Now move the caret to the beginning to make an anchor: <a hVisit Oracle 
The auto-completion popup suggests "href". Press enter to accept it: <a href=" Oracle 
So, href is entered but the next word is being replaced. 
This issue appears always when it's about auto-completion in the HTML editor. It does discourage many people from using JDev for web apps.

It's true, just tried it.
You can get past this by putting a space infront of the Visit before typing the <a.
That is press home, space and left then <a.

Third party html editor-allow google analytics to work on iWeb

I want people to find me via google search, so need to get inside frame of iWeb. Apple tech told me there is no access to the iWeb source file. Is there a third party html editor that I can use in front of iWeb? With apologies for an unsophisticated question.

work wonk wrote:
Matti-
First time in discussion and this is most helpful. (how do I cut the answer the way you did my question and then respond? Trying to do it inelegantly below.)
First, click the quote mark above the little box you're typing in ^. That makes the full text of the person you're responding to appear at the top of your response. Then, to cut it up, you just put your cursor where you want to respond and push return to start a new paragraph. Basically, anything with an ">" sign on the left gets put in the quote box. Your response, without the ">" sign, is regular text. You can Preview to see how it looks before you post.
Matti: Include the text content in your iWeb site itself. Google can search that. No need for editing html just for that. For example, add the names of the authors and their books next to the m4a's.
ww: I do put the name of the interview next to the embedded picture of the author, but I thought Google could not crawl within a "frame" (just learned this limitation).
This is where someone else might have better advice, but as far I know, iWeb doesn't create "frames." It creates basic pages that can be catalogued by a search engine. Unless there's something about the template you're using that's creating frames within pages that are hard to search - not sure if that's the case - but perhaps that's what you're referring to.
In summary, I think iWeb is too templated to allow google viewing and I will need to ftp my site to an outside third party.
Reading your description of what you're trying to do, it does sound like it would work better on a 3rd party host. For lack of a better word, sites with "heft" do better on a 3rd party host.
Also, I've found that as much as you can keep things simple in iWeb, the better they are overall, the more universally compatible with other browsers like IE and - in my opinion - the better they look.
I stay away from ginned up themes and, using basic pages as a starting point, have made a few iWeb sites that are quickly found and catalogued by the search engines, and are universally compatible with all browsers.
Is TextWrangler akin to WordPress?
No. TextWrangler is a document editor (like Microsoft word) that is optimized for opening up and editing html files.
After you publish to a folder but before you FTP up to your host, opening up the html files iWeb generated using TextWrangler allows you to tweak the html code. There are some programs that will automatically "optimize" the pages for you as well. If you prefer to access the html and edit them yourself, TextWrangler works well and is free. For example, if there is an image of an author, there is an associated (blank by default) "alt" field that you could fill in with the author's name. This helps a search engine understand what the image is.

2x spacing in HTML editor

Using the HTML editor, whenever enter is hit, it creates what looks like a 2x space.
How can enter be keyed so that the 2x space not appear but only a single space appears without using shift-enter?
Thanks

Hi,
Use html tags to avoid this type of issue i.e. - {div}This is division{div}{p}This is paragraph{p}{ul}{li}This is un-ordered list{li}{ul} etc.
Replace {} with < and >.
Hope this helps.

Hi Shiva,
The first SAP note applies to other browsers and works well for IE6. The problem we face is with IE6. We are already on SPS 21 so according to the note the issue should not appear.
Are there any other solutions for this ?
