Minimize the Html standard editor by default in Textarea

Hi,
I'm using Apex 3.0.1 for my application. I've used text area in the UI with the Html standard editor. I see that the page loads slowly coz the editor takes time to load with all the icons and stuff. Is there a way by which I can show the editor to be minimized on load? I think when required by clicking the 'arrow' icon the editor can be expanded. My application is more like a content management and so I'm using lots of text areas as this.
Can someone let me know if this is feasible to do and so if, how to achieve it?
Thanks,
gsachidh

There is no way of minimizing things in html.
Off course you can hide items with javascript for example, but that doesn't prevent it from loading, so your load time will not decrease.
If you put a condition on the item, it's not loaded at all so you save time.
Then there's the advanced way: Replace a normal text area with an Ajax call to a editor text area. But that's some more work and not standard apex.

  • Error while using "HTML Standard Editor" item in "Array VPN"

    Hi,
    The "HTML Standard Editor" item is not displayed properly when the person is trying to enter data, when he is logged in using Array VPN. An error appears in the item box "Unable to Process request. The requested URL has an unsupported encoding.". Can this be resolved? This error is appearing in Firefox, and in IE the box appears but is not editable,i.e Nothing can be entered in the box.
    Please assist me in this matter.
    Thanks,
    Vignesh

    Vignesh,
    I've worked with clients in the past that used VPN clients that attempted to cache and compress JavaScript code being sent to the browser. The problem was that the algorithms were terrible and ended up breaking the code.
    Do you know if this is happening? If so, there's probably an option to turn it off. Take a look at the source code for the problematic page using the VPN connection and compare it to the source from a page without using VPN. If the page is really busy you can create a blank test page and add the item that's not working. That should make comparing the changes easier. Consider using a code comparison utility.

  • Enable Insert Smiley in HTML Standard Editor

    Hi All,
    I have been searching on how to show and enable the insert smiley toolbar in the HTML Editor Standard (FCKEditor). What I'm currently doing is use the source toolbar and input manually the img tags when inserting images.
    It would be great if I could just use the existing insert smiley/images toolbar in the FCKEditor even if there's no real image uploading happening. I.e., just the image path text box and the img tags will be constructed automatically. Is this possible? Please help.

    I'm doing exactly the same thing at the moment in my application.
    I have a table with a CLOB column, and I have a page that selects from this table using a standard generated Automated Row Fetch process. Saving the data back into the table is done with a standard generated Automatic Row Processing (DML) process.
    It works fine in both Firefox and IE8.
    What do your processes to fetch and save the data look like?
    And what versions of the browsers are you using?

  • HTML Standard/Minimal doesn't work in Safari browser

    Here's an issue that has been bugging me for quite some time, it's more of a bug and I finally decided to post it in the forums.
    I have an Item on a page for which the Display Type is set to HTML Editor Standard, the problem is that it works fine in most editors except Safari. Not sure what the issue is, has anyone been able to get this to work in Safari?
    Another issue is with formatting, I have another report page that displays the field that's tied to the HTML editor standard form page. The report page does not show the same formatting from the HTML editor. You would think the report will at least show the same formatting that was entered via the field.

    Oscar,
    Thanks for replying. I didn't realize that Apex is certified for IE and FireFox only. Safari is one of the best browsers and I find it strange that Apex is not supported.
    Since the HTML Standard toolbox is based on FCKeditor, just for kicks I checked their site and the demo works fine on Safari, i.e. I see the toolbar and the text looks formatted just as in FireFox.
    Also I performed another test, I downloaded the latest FCKEditor 2.6.4 and uploaded the main js file to application images and associated that with a report field (displayed as textarea, with id=f01_0001) and that worked partially in Safari (i.e. the toolbar showed up, the text looked formatted). I bet if I ftp the entire FCKEditor library to the unix folder and reference it from there, it will work just fine. It seems like next version of Oracle Apex need to update their FCKEditor library as the latest version of FCK Editor is certified on all browsers.
    <!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="/i/fck/fckeditor.js"></script> -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#fckeditor.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    function DESC_init() {
    var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'f01_0001' ) ;
    oFCKeditor.BasePath = "/i/fck/" ;
    oFCKeditor.Width = '760';
    oFCKeditor.Height = '555';
    oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet = 'Default' ;
    oFCKeditor.Config[ "AutoDetectLanguage" ] = false;
    oFCKeditor.Config[ "DefaultLanguage" ] = "en";
    oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;

  • Why is the HTML editor so inefficient ?

    Hi Molly !
    As tst says, "I hate to loose posts !". The fact that we are returned to a blank page, without any chance to recover our work, each time a post is not accepted by the NI server, has been a real pain for an already long time.
    Things are made worse by the inefficiency of the HTML editor since posts are rejected for being more than 5000 chars just because HTML tags are abusively embedded in the posts. Attached is an example of text, 1663 chars long, that has been turned into a 7457 chars long document by the forum editor ! The text was not imported, just directly typed in. I have the feeling that this is far from optimal
    I believe that there are a few maneuvers that should be avoided to minimize such abusive HTML formatting. Could you help ?

    I typically do a "select all"...control C before trying to post. ...Burned too many times.
    I especially hate these IBM laptop keyboards with these idiotic Prev/Next keys right next to the regular cursors. If I accidentally hit e.g. the left one, it's like pressing the BACK button of the browser and I immediately and irreversibly loose all text I just composed. An immediate forward gets me back an empty form.

  • Changing the font size does not work with Textarea with HTML Editor

    If you change the font size in the text area of a "Textarea with HTML Editor" item it does not work. I've searched the forum and the only solution I've seen is to use an HTML editor foriegn to APEX. Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks, Elizabeth

    I'm having a similar issue except with HTML Editor Standard.
    What I'm doing is allow someone to write to an HTML Editor Standard field and then an HTML marked up text is saved to a db CLOB column. In another page, I reference this DB column and show it in an HTML Region (I do a computation Before Regions for a hidden item that writes out the html with "htp.p")
    Everything shows up fine EXCEPT the font tags and headings. I'm finding that the HTML Region sets the font size only with the < d i v s t y l e="font-size: large" >and NOT < f o n t size:6 >. When the HTML Editor renders the user's text input, any size changes are made with the < f o n t > tag, which is depreciated anyways, and not with "style". That's why the size is not showing up.
    I can't really figure out why the headings aren't showing up except maybe the css style in the region is overridding it...
    Is there another APEX item type like HTML Editor (which uses FCKEditor) that I can use, or maybe another approach to remedy this issue? Or maybe this post calls for an enhancement with the HTML Editor?{size}{size}

  • Hide "Save and Lock Button" Button in the HTML Editor

    hi,
    I have created a doc file and saved it as a webpage. Then i have uploaded the file to the KM Content. Now this file can be edited online. When i choose the Html Editor, i get 3 buttons. Out of this, i have to disable "Save and Lock Button" button. Can anyone please help me reganing this. This is urgent
    regards,
    pinki

    hi,
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    In the renderbutton() button, the new buttons are being created. But if we comment that part of the code, i guess the new button will not be created. I am very new to all this. Please explain . i am talikng about the following code:
    if(lockResource.canExecute() && lockResource.isResourceLockedByMe())
                        //save = new Button(WdfEventDispatcher.dispatchableControlID(this, "onSaveAndUnlock", url));
                        //save.setDesign(ButtonDesign.STANDARD);
                        //save.setText(getBaseBundleString("com.sapportals.wcm.control.edit.ResourceEditControl", "btnSaveAndUnlock"));
                        save.setOnClick("onWdfEvent");
                        //buttonGrid.addComponent(buttonGrid.getCurrentRowIndex(), buttonGrid.getCurrentColumnIndex(), save);
                        //buttonGrid.setCurrentColumnIndex(buttonGrid.getCurrentColumnIndex() + 1);
    Actually, the problem is "Save and Unlock " button is behaving weirdly, even though, user is clicking in it , it is remaining locked. At first, we thought the user was clicking "Save and Hold Lock" by mistake. So we wanted to disable it.But now the problem is somewhere else. Can you please help
    regards,
    pinki

  • What's wrong with the HTML Editor?

    When editing the HTML of my project, when I put the cursor into position the text at that point partially disappears - notice the 'd' in 'bold' above. It's also slow and generally just difficult to use because the text gets so messed up when you edit it, that you can't see what you're doing!!
    Trying to insert javascript is an absolute nightmare.
    Is it just me or do other people have this issue too?

    Thanks - it works much better now.
    There is still a slight delay when moving the cursor around so it's not perfect but a definite improvement. Now i just need to work on improving my eyesight so I can see properly without zooming in.
    I'm using RoboHelp 9.
    Cheers!

  • Why does the Adobe Standard profile make a mess of old NEF files?

    Recently I've been reprocessing some old NEF files taken with the Nikon D50 camera years ago, and I was startled to find that the Adobe Standard camera profile does a bad job on them: the photos come out muddy-looking, really unacceptable, with too much yellow and magenta. I can fix the problem by choosing the Camera Standard profile, which gives acceptable results. However, I believe that Adobe Standard is generally recommended by Adobe, and I wonder what the problem is here. Does anyone know?
    I currently use a Nikon D7000, and Adobe Standard seems to work well enough with that camera.
    Later: After checking and comparing more carefully, I think that perhaps I prefer Camera Standard with the D7000 too. Adobe Standard is certainly acceptable with the D7000, but Camera Standard gives blue skies of clearer blue, and less exaggerated reds. So the best fix for me is probably to make Camera Standard my default for all cameras.
    Looking around the Web, I see various people complaining about too much magenta with Adobe Standard, although other people are happy with it.

    Yammer P, thanks for the input.  I have been working with the DNG Profile Editor since the first version was available.  I also started using the Passport software when it was first available.  I first worked on a profile for the D200 and after many attempts I finally have one that works great.  The Camera profiles did not exist at that time and the D200 does not have Picture Control Profiles, I believe that was first available with the D300.  Adobe did generate Picture Control Profiles for the D200 and they are also available in Nikon Capture NX2. 
    I currently have a D700, and have spent a lot of time working on profiles for this camera.  I have used the DNG Profile Editor's Chart Tab to generate profiles for most of the Camera Profiles and Adobe Standard.  I find that Adobe Standard profile is brighter than the Camera profiles by about 0.25 stop.  After working on this for about 2 years I have decided to use the Camera Neutral with a modified tone curve and slight reduction in saturation as my starting point and no changes in hue.  I also generated a modified Picture Control profile for Neutral using the Nikon Picture Control software that has the same characteristics and loaded it into the camera.  I get good agreement between jpg's from the camera and the nef file that opens in ACR without adjustments.   The tone curve I used only has three points - the In/out values are 27/22, 127/127, 228/233 and saturation was set to -5. 
    I don't understand what Adobe changed when they genrated the Adobe Standard Profile instead of the ACR4.x versions, but I like the ACR4.x version better.
