RIch text forum issue since reinstall of OS

Ever since I reinstalled my system software (10.4.11), I have been unable to utilize rich text editor options available for forum posting. (not this forum - about.com is one of them). In Safari, the editor toolbar is non-existent when posting/editing a post, and my individual paragraphs display as one huge paragraphs rather than individual ones. I'm not having this problem in Firefox. In Firefox, the rich text editor appears (bold, italic, etc. buttons), as do options for "design" and "HTML"—all missing in Safari.
Previous to the reinstall, I was not having this issue in Safari. Paragraphs were created by hitting "return", not inserting html code.
I'm wondering if there is a setting, or plugin, that was present in my old system that did not get installed, which is contributing to why Safari has omitted these options as opposed to Firefox.
Thanks!

No I haven't tried another mouse, but the malfunctions started as soon as OSX 10.6.4 was installed, so I deduced that it was a software rather than a hardware issue. I will however try another mouse.

Rich Text Box Issue - Expand to show all Text

Hi everyone
I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with the rich text box when viewing a line item (not when editing the item, but viewing the item)
I want my rich text box to expand with the text, which I have changed in the options on InfoPath with the "Expand to show all text" scrolling option. However, in IE, the table row will expand, but the actual rich text box will not and I'll have
a scroll bar there and you cant see all of the text at one time. If I look in Chrome, then it works the way I want and I can see all of the lines of text that were entered into the rich text box.
The only solution for IE to work correctly is to change the Display settings to "Enable enhanced rich text content...". But the big issue with that is now you can no longer highlight the text (the highlight disappears right after highlighting it),
and the users will need to copy text from the text box, so it renders the "enhanced" rich text box useless for us
It's kind of a lose-lose situation that I'd love to find the solution for

I guess a better solution would be how can you highlight text from an enhanced rich text box, because changing these to "rich text box" gets rid of font colors in the pre-existing data.
The original problem was that they couldn't highlight text unless they went into edit mode

Rich text editor Issues in Experience Manager

Hi,
We are extensively using rich text cartridges for most static pages. We usually copy entire html content into the rich text cartridge source.
It was seen that after saving the content, the editor formats the HTML tags.
For example:
<a href="#">
<div class="bold">Tomboy</div>
<div class="normal">Overalls</div>
</a>
gets converted to
<div class="bold">
<a href="#">Tomboy</a>
</div>
<div class="normal">
<a href="#">Overalls</a>
</div>
Please let us know if anyone has faced similar issues and the fix for the same.
Oracle Endeca 3.1.2 is used for the above example.

Their product is shipped with a Java Bean that you use like any other one. You put the JAR file in your /forms/java folder, add it to the archive and archive_jini tags of your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file, then you add a Bean Arean to your canvas, filling its Implementation Class with the name of the main Java class.
You have, then methods to set and get the corresponding text in a HTML format.

Portal Rich Text Editor in Firefox 3.5 Not Working

I'm using Oracle Portal Version: 10.1.4.0.0 (Build: 594)
The text item Rich Text editor works fine in IE 6 and has reduced functionality in Firefox 3.0 (scroll doesn't work). I've just updated to Firefox 3.5 and the text editor doesn't work at all now.
The user is presented with a grey box where all the text controls are squashed into the top left hand corner.
The following errors appear in the Error Console :
Error: element.children.tags is not a function
Source File: http://xyz.example.net:7778/images/webword/WebWordMenuToolbar.js
Line: 1
Error: attachEvt is not defined
Source File: http://xyz.example.net:7778/images/webword/buildUI1.js
Line: 76
(I've replaced our server url with http://xyz.example.net)
Has anyone else noticed this? Has anyone got any suggestions on what I can do to investigate/fix it?
Thanks,
Matt
Update :
There is a patch available to potentially fix the Rich Text Editor issues in Firefox
"The Rich Text Editor Does Not Work Correctly In FireFox" - Metalink Doc ID: 456512.1
or you can replace the RTE completely with a 3rd party editor :
"How to integrate third party RTE (FCKeditor) with Oracle Portal" - Metalink Doc ID: 352796.1
Using FCKEditor may well solve the issues but I only use Firefox for development. Our users use IE6 so I don't want to replace the interface unless I have to.

This is a known issue in both Portal 10.1.4.x and Portal 11.x :
Bug 8708210 (11) NOT ABLE TO RENDER RICH TEXT EDITOR WITH FIREFOX 3.5 BROWSER
This bug is not published on Metalink.
There is no solution yet. Consider to use IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419) for editing file items until this bug is solved.

Issue with Mail not using rich text

I'm using the Mail app on snow leopard and I can't seem to utilize the rich text functionality within the program. It is set to "Rich Text" via Preferences -> Composing but all my emails come in as plain text ("Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii").
Can someone help me with this?

So why does it have a default option to send as rich text then? Am I missing something?
"Rich Text" doesn't really mean anything unless you select the font size, font face, color, etc. As you can see, there is no place to do that in the Composing preferences. You have to do that in the New Message pane, or there isn't anything "rich" to send. Mail's Font preferences apply to local display, not to composing.
Mail has always behaved this way and the issue has been discussed dozens of times in these forums, because many people working in the Windows world want to have all their email sent out in rich text with a certain font and size by default. Mail lacks this feature, and there is no sign it will change, so some people switch to Entourage or Thunderbird.
A possible workaround in Mail is to use an html signature and start your message in the first line of that. Or use stationery.

Gmail: can't see: rich text editor, attachment icon, themes (just colors) - ever since upgrading to 3.5, still in 3.6

With Gmail, I can't see the following
* Rich Text Editor
* The paper clip icon for attachments
* Background themes (just plain colors)
have had this problem since 3.5. Just got 3.6, no difference. Gmail appears fine in IE, also on Firefox on other machines. I'm using a Vista Home Premium machine.

dslate, do you have any addons installed? If you do please try disabling them within about:addons.
If you then can see your icons again, try enabling each one until you see the problem again.
My guess is that it may be that you have a corrupt list for adblock plus. If adblock plus is causing your issue, please try unsubscribing and then resubscripting within addblock plus.
Hopefully that would resolve your issue.

I can't find the rich text button when I post a new thread in the sap forum

I had a EP system witch sp15,and I deploy a sap new forums,but recently I found when I post a new thread,I can't find the" rich text" button and the "plain text"button and the "preview"button,the bold,italics,underline function is invalidate,and I find the IE page has notice "the erroe on page" when my error occured.
eg:when I want to post a new thread,the post page of IE give me a notice "the error on page",I click the notice,find it said:"error:MultiSelector not defined" or "error:MCTabs not defined".
Who can help me?
Edited by: cui zhao on Apr 22, 2008 8:41 AM

I know this is an old thread but wanted to post the resolution that I found when I had this problem.
Basically the problem is because the Quicklink is not set properly.
I had to make sure that the Page Quicklink property was set to 'forums'.
I also had to make sure that the Email Settings in the Admin Console had the following property:
'URL for your installation:' had to be set to http://myportalserver.50800/forums.
Hope that helps someone who has the issue sometime.

Robin.

When reading the Rich Text present in Excel column using open XML its taking it as plain text

Hello All,
When i am reading excel columns using open Xml in C# everything is working fine except the column that
contain Rich Text (ex: bold, italic,color,size). Its reading the Rich Text content as plain text. As we know for Rich Text in open XML we get the text as Runs (C#
object) which contains the text as value and rpr as run properties. I have also written the code to convert Runs to html. But the issue is that for some Rich Text format its reading it as Runs but most of the Rich Text its reading it as plain text.
The issue i am getting is, for some rich text its creating RUN and for some of the rich text its not creatingRUN.
Let me give the example for more understanding:
Suppose i have two cells in excel which contains the below text.
1. Rich Text
1
2. RichText
2
Now when i read these cells using the below code
var stringTable =spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetPartsOfType<SharedStringTablePart>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringTable.SharedStringTable.ElementAt(index1).ChildElements.GetItem(0).GetType().Name == "Run")
Custom code to convert Rich text to HTML...
else
Read the plain text...
Though both the cell contains rich text, one is going in RUN block and one is going in Plain text bloc.
Also, one thing that i have noticed is when i use standard color for text its consider it as RUNS and when i use color apart from the standard color it does not consider it as RUNS. Same behavior occurs for different combination of text viz. bold, italic, underline
etc

InfoPath form, rich text fields, "There was a form postback error" InvalidOperationException, There has been an error while processing the form

Using InfoPath 2013 browser enabled form.
I am getting the above error on ALL Infopath Designed Rich Text fields, where the "Cannot be blank" attribute is set.
To reproduce it, I create a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I add 2 Rich Text fields and enable "cannot be blank". To raise the error, I put some data in the RT field. Skip to another field (so focus is changed and a postback
occurs), then back to original field to delete the contents (to raise the validation).
I originally thought it was associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered (and I have re-registered it just in case), but the exception I get from the ULS logs reads (it is from a list AFTER I have re-registered the DLL):
There was a form postback error. (User: 0#.w|myDomain\jc, Form Name: Template, IP: , Request: h t t p ://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/Item/newifs.aspx?List=2212ff41-77b4-445b-931b-d7e538c9da91&Source=h t t p://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/AllItems.aspx&RootFolder=&Web=3db49106-bdca-47bb-b4cd-a549d2d86aa7,

I noticed that errors associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered would have some sort of COM exception (example: TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED or REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)
I also should mention that this problem started happening about 3 weeks ago. We have extended the web application to handle HTTPS on the intranet zone (we had a reverse proxy project that did not eventuate) - would that cause something? How can I do further
checking?

Hi,
I have done a test in my SharePoint, and I met the same issue with you.
I created a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I added 2 Rich Text fields and enabled "cannot be blank". I put some content in the RT field, then delete the contents, I got the error message:"there has been an
error while processing the form."
Here is a similar post said that executing the command: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
OFFICE14\htmlchkr.dll" will solve the issue.

But I just disabled "cannot be blank", and it solved the issue.

Various issues since Leopard upgrade

I have just installed Leopard on a Dual 2.7 G5 with a 500GB Hitachi HDD and 5GB RAM and I have noticed one or two niggling little 'quirks' (I am lumping everything together here, rather than separating them in to more appropriate sections, so that I have a record of everything together).
1) I have an Epson Perfection 4870 scanner which I cannot use to scan directly from applications (for quickness I mainly use Preview) as the 'scan' button is always unavailable (greyed out, not highlighted in blue). This has been an issue since at least 10.4.8, so it's not a problem exclusive to Leopard, but it's extremely annoying nonetheless. As I can scan directly from the Epson Scan software (which is basically the driver) Epson will not assist me further and have directed me to Apple/Adobe/MS, etc., for support. Prior to 10.4.8 (IIRC) I could select 'import' (from whatever application) and it would automatically preview, the scan button would then become available and hitting it would launch the driver software. However, the link between the applications and the driver seems to have been severed somehow/somewhere and it is no longer recognising that the unit has finished its preview in order to make the 'scan' button available for the next part of the process.
In Tiger, I could also scan into Epson's EasyScan application, but have been told this isn't 10.5 compatible.
Does the above make sense...? Has anyone else experienced this - and have you solved it? If so, how?
2) This next bit concerns the Dock. I like to have it hidden along the left hand side of the screen, rather than at the bottom, because I only have a 17" panel and desktop space is at a premium. However, about one restart in five, it's back along the bottom and any icons or folders that I have added to it have gone AWOL.
3) The third issue is a sound issue. I have a Revolution 7.1 card which I understand, from reading a notice on M-Audio's Web site, is not yet Leopard compatible (though the promise it will be "very soon"' though as the last driver release didn't support anything newer than 10.4.6, IIRC, I'm not holding my breath!)
So I have removed the card and plugged my Logitech Z5500s back into the 'on board' card. This was working flawlessly under Tiger (I know because I tested it to make sure, because I knew that the Revolution wouldn't function under Leopard). However, whatever I try, I only seem to hear sound from the internal speaker; I even replaced the optical cable (at great expense - the original was a Belkin Gold Series, and so is the replacement and, at about £35 a pop, it's not a trivial outlay). Everything in the sound sys prefs is completely 'greyed out' so I cannot change it from the internal speaker to anything else. Whilst there is nothing on Logitech's Web site as regards to the Leopard compatibility of any of its products (it seems that it gave up on the Mac a very long time ago; I use a MX510 which was the last of their rodents to have any kind of OS X support and that stopped with 10.4.4, IIRC) I cannot see how a set of speakers, which should work with anything that has the required jack sockets, can be fussy about an OS. Incidentally, I also have a 'dark side' box running XP Home (when I win the lottery, I'll buy a Mac Pro and dispense with it) and they're plugged in there and work fine (via analogue, though, not digital).
I noticed it when I received some CDs that I'd ordered from Amazon the other day and found that iTunes was playing through the internal speaker.
4) The final issue is a networking issue. Under Tiger, I could (though it did take me some tweaking to get it working smoothly) dump things from the G5 on to the Windoze box and vice versa, without too many hiccups. However, Leopard is proving to be somewhat of a challenge, to say the least. I don't know how I managed it, but I did manage to render the machine completely inoperable at one point (it would only boot as far as the grey 'Apple logo' screen and I couldn't open the optical drive to stick the DVD in - a panicked phone call to a friend, who runs his own Mac repair and consultancy business, followed!
I don't understand SMB and AFP (though I do know about FTP). In the Finder, I can see the 'doze box and can send things to it (though should I be connected as 'guest'?) but there is nothing on the Windoze side, save for 'Printers and Faxes'). I have made sure I have permissions set correctly and everything is set up to share (and Windows sharing is on) but there is nothing on the other box at all.
Is it possible to share the main HDD across, or am I limited to this silly 'Drop Box' thing (which I did have available under 'doze at one point, though it was read only and I couldn't change permissions from Leopard because I didn't have sufficient privileges, even though I have an admin account and I could change permissions under Tiger with the same level of 'clearance'.)
4) This final issue is sort of linked with 3) as it concerns what I believe to be erroneous error messages. I was clearing some stuff off a drive I was going to use for Time Machine[1], but I wasn't allowed to delete most of it because 'XYZ was in use' or open in an application. Six reboots later, I was still receiving the same error; strikes me that Leopard's got its knickers in a knot somewhere along the line because the files in question (mainly old Word and Excel docs) were certainly NOT in use as I didn't have either installed at the time!
[1]Though having read the problems people are having with TM (not just here, but on other forums I read/post to) I think I might give it a miss and stick with ChronoSync (just have to wait for it to be compatible).
So, this is actually the second installation, but the problems remain - any help out there?
Sorry for the verboseness of this, but I wanted to make sure that I'd covered everything. I'm almost tempted to reinstall Tigger (but not quite - I like Spaces, and I like the Dock Preview).
Cheers for any assistance, folks!
Fran

Fran, I'm not sure I'm going to be much help for all your problems but I will attempt to answer what I can.
1. Scanner problems - have you tried reinstalling the software? I know you mentioned that the easyscan software is not compatible but it sounds like the driver software isn't in the right place. Optionally another program that you might want to look into is vuescan. I have had good success with the program in the past but I have yet to try it under Leopard.
2. Dock problems this sounds like either a corrupted preference list. But I don't have a clue as to why it might be reoccurring. Have you fixed permissions on your computer since installation?
3. I don't have a clue to figure out how to fix this issue.
4. Networking - As for sending things to the doze box. You don't need to be connected as guest. Just use the username and password that you use when you sign into the windows to sign into the windows box and you should have the same rights as you would as if you were using windows on that computer. Yes it is possible to share the main HDD but it isn't something that I would recommend. What I do recommend is creating a folder where you have both read and write rights to and then use that folder share items across both computers. If this isn't something that is going to work for then at the most I would just share your documents folder. You didn't mention how your trying view information on the windows side you should be able to browse your network and eventually find and see the mac.
4 (part 2) - I would recommend something besides TM, it is designed to recover lost/accidentally deleted files. And isn't really designed for being your complete backup program. Yes, you can use it for that but I would recommend something more robust. Some of that comes down to how you want to define your recovery strategy. Superduper!, promotes themselves as having the ability to boot for your backup drive and being able to almost immediately get back in business. If this is a critical factor to you then I would lean in that direction. If you are just worried about having a backup of critical data files then Chronosync or some other program will work just as well. Also mentioned in your post in this paragraph is a description of "files in use" problems. A couple of things come to mind did you let spotlight finish indexing your drive before you tried deleting files? I've run into a problem similar to this in Tiger when I was deleting files while spotlight was indexing.
One item that you didn't mention was what kind of installation you did when you installed Leopard. If you didn't do an 'erase and install" then that might be something to look into. First back up your computer before doing this. You might also want to run a permissions fix on your drive to see if that helps at all.

SharePoint 2013 Document Library template displays html code when creating a new document from a sharepoint list multiline rich text

I have a 2010 work flow that is associated with a sharepoint 2013 list that creates a new list document using a custom Microsoft Word 2013 template with a rich text multiline field quick part. The workflow creates the document and populates

Why Rich Text (HTML Only) format email introduces line breaks (paragraph marks) in the email body in html?

A sentence in rich text (change in Options, Delivery format) appears as a single sentence in browser. But when I check the page source I see that sentence has been broken in to multiple lines. Why is this done? Isn't this a bug?
When viewed in a browser or application that supports rich text this does not create any problem since the line breaks are not taken into account . But I am trying to extract the text from this html and display in a nonHTML application like notepad.
Is this done on purpose?
For eg.
In browser - Honesty is the best policy
In View HTML Source -
Honesty
Is the
best
policy.

lets start at the beginning.
There is no such thing as rich text email, unless it in internal corporate stuff like MS Exchange, Lotus notes etc. EMail on the internet is HTML or Plain Text.
I have no options > delivery format in my settings. Is this something to do with Outlook perhaps?
Then there is your image. All those MSO objects. They stand for Microsoft Office Objects and indicate the source of the HTML as being Outlook or at least Microsoft Office. All in all I think your asking about Microsoft actions on a Mozilla forum.

How to enable copy , cut for Rich Text editors

I have a rich-text with cut , copy options but when i try to cut or copy it gives me the following error -
Your browser's security settings don't permit the editor to execute cut operations.
Please use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmd+X).
I have tried editing the user.js and almost all the solutions given related to it here but still it doesn't seem to work.
Please Please Please give me some solution for this.

Are you not able to use the text editer to access anything displayed with Firefox, for instance this forum, or is it only specific file locations that are affected.
What is the software you are using, and have you tried any other alternatives.
And can you give a very simple example of something you try to do and can not.
