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.

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

Can't change the HTML editor in Robo7

When I click on Tools, Options, I get this message: Internal Error: Can't get right editor's information. Subsequently, there are no HTML editors listed and the option to ADD is grayed out.
Tried several times to reinstall along with Ver .2, to no avail.
Any ideas....thanks!

I wonder if you are going about the uninstall correctly.
When you see 7.0.3 you might think you are uninstalling the full product. You are only uninstalling that patch. Click Refresh or press F5 and you will see 7.0.2 waiting to be uninstalled, after that Refresh shows 7.0.1 and finally the original install.
If you did not do it that way, try again and hopfully on reinstalling, all will be OK. If you have fixed it some other way, it would help if you posted that here.

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 is the visual editor such a pain?

When I drag and drop components from the Component Palette to a page in the visual editor, instead of the UI component, I see the component with box outline in the design view of the visual editor. A few others have complained about this problem too.
This is an old post and I have carried out all the suggestions by others but without success. I never had this problem with the EA version; it started in JDeveloper 10.13.1 carried onto JDeveloper 10.13.10. Preview.
Somebody said that the problem will be fix in the final version of JDeveloper 10.13.10. However, I have a job to do and I am asking if I can still download the EA. If so can you provide me the link?
Thanks for your help.

Every week it seems there is another outage and nobody at Verizon cares. Customer service is a joke now. All you do it is get transferred to some under educated feeb that tells you everything is fine and to reboot your phone!! IT IS NOT THE PHONE. Get it yet Verizon? Your network is failing, ALOT. I have yet to meet anyone who says 4G is worth anything. Now, today again, 3G and 4G are suddenly dead. Not shocking seeing as how they have been robbing Americans blind for years with poorly performing devices, an over subscribed network, poor customer service and outrageous prices. Short Verizon stock. 2012 will be a rough year for them if this continues.
Hmm...
I can't decide, based on your recent posts and including this new topic as well, if you are here to get help or to just bash Verizon Wireless.
If you want help, here:
What phone do you have?
Do you EVER get 4g (honestly) or does it just say 3G? I realize you are only getting 1X now.
Have you had VZW file a ticket for your phone number to see if there is a problem with your area? What did they say?
Where are you having service issues?
What phone did you have before?
Did you have service with Verizon Wireless before your current phone?
What was the service like then?
What exactly is the problem? Meaning this, yes you are losing signal but what are trying to do that you cannot accomplish right now?
Every phone is different, do you have the following installed on your phone: Juice Defender or any battery saver, a task killer, a network managing application, have you changed any settings on your own in the phone? Has a representative changed any settings in your phone? Do you have an anti-virus application?
How many miles are you from Canada?

WHY DOES THE PE EDITOR KEEP FAILING TO LOAD

I have a brand new problem with Photoshop Elements 8, which I've been using in Windows for several years.
Suddenly the PE editor refuses to load--either from "Fix" in the album space or from "Edit" in the Workspace. It starts to load (with the green dots moving across the bar) and then kicks out. Even after I signed in successfully to PE, the editor still fails to load. Any suggestions?

Why does the UI editor not permit setting size_t / ssize_t?

Programmatically it's possible to set VAL_SIZE_T, VAL_SSIZE_T, ..., VAL_INTPTR_T, VAL_UINTPTR_T...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure what kind of example you expect...
I have an integer variable representing the number of recorded events of a measurement; in the 32 bit version this is limited to 4*10^9 events which can be a restriction. So for computers running a 64 bit system I'd like to extend it to larger numbers; hence I replaced int by ssize_t and want to dispay this number in a table cell.
This is the same transformation that was applied to most CVI library routines in 2010, e.g. PlotXY now expects ssize_t for the number of points to plot.
This issue has been already discussed March 2010 with respect to numeric controls here, but it seems that nothing has changed for the better the last four years - the UI editor is still useless in such cases

Why will the raw editor not open up in the editor

I have started to shot photos in raw and after I load them into the organizer, they are converting to jpeg. When I opened the editor, the photos are all in jpeg instead of raw. What am I doing wrong. I tried to delete from the organizer but it is also deleting from iPhoto

Well, you generally don't want to use both organizer and iphoto, but if you are sending the photos out of iphoto you must tell iphoto that you want it to send the raw files. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on Use RAW when using an external editor, or it will always send jpegs.
But really, double managing your photos will make you crazy, sooner or later.

Why does the BlackBoard HTML editor freeze and crash Firefox 3.6?

Black Board uses a HTML editor that seems to be based on JAVA. I teach by added posts to threads and can use the editor or disable the editor in either case after adding some text the window freezes and I cannot add text or delete text. If I enable the HTML editor the text is gone, but if I then disable it I can add a few letters, but if I try to delete, it will again freeze. Disabling and enabling the HTML editor works several times and the FireFox will crash. Actually I do not care about the HTML editor. My preference is just to disable the HTML editor and add my classroom comments.
Oddly the editor works on Safari, but its slow and clunky, so I disable the HTML editor and I can add my raw text with some selective HTML to get paragraphs and bold. I would rather go back to FireFox, but for now Safari works better.
This is the HTML Editor per the about window:
Objects Edit-on Pro 4.2.106.1, packaged with WebCT on Vista

Try using CCleaner: http://www.piriform.com/ (:
And good luck with that girlfriend vs. X thingey!

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}

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.

Since the update force fed today, HTML editors no longer work in the admin area of our ASP powered website. Is this being fixed?

As noted, HTML editor no longer works in an ASP environment after today's forced update. What is being done to fix this?

About the HTML editor: is in the admin side of aspdotnetstorefront shopping cart software. It is used when entering new products for sale in the database.

Why is the background color not applied in one case?

Hi,
I'm using RH 7 and WebHelp.
I apply a TableHeading style to the first row of my tables. The TableHeading style is supposed to fill the cells of the first row with a background color of blue, and the text is in white. It works fine except for one table. I think TableHeading style was not applied in the Word document when I imported this topic. I tried to apply the TableHeading style to the first row, and it says it is applied in the HTML. But, the background blue does not fill the cells.
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
Here is my problem table:
I can see in the HTML that the background color is not present in the code. Here is the code for the example that is correct:
<p class=TableHeading>Chapter</td>
<td style="border-left: none; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px; border-top: solid #000000 1.0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1.0px;
          width: 279.4pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; background-color: #003399;"
bgcolor=#003399 width=279.4pt>
<p class=TableHeading>Description</td></tr>
<tr><td style="x-cell-content-align: top; border-left: solid #000000 1.0px; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px; border-top: none;
                   border-bottom: solid #000000 1.0px; width: 182.85pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
                   padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px;
                   padding-bottom: 0px;" valign=top width=182.9pt>
Here is the code for my problem table:
<p class=TableHeading>Activity</td>
<td style="border-left: none; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px; border-top: solid #000000 1.0px; border-bottom: solid #000000 1.0px;
          width: 168.0pt; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;" width=168pt>
<p class=TableHeading>Keyboard Shortcut</td></tr>
<tr style="x-cell-content-align: center;" valign=middle>
<td style="width: 374px; x-cell-content-align: top; border-left: solid #000000 1.0px; border-right: solid #000000 1.0px;
          border-top: none; border-bottom: solid #000000 1.0px; padding: 0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
          padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px;
          padding-bottom: 0px;" valign=top width=374px>
Here is the code from the CSS:
p.TableHeading {
background-color: #003399;
punctuation-wrap: simple;
text-autospace: none;
font-size: 10.0pt;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
margin-left: 3pt;
margin-right: 3.0pt;
line-height: 120%;
margin-top: 0pt;
margin-bottom: 0pt;
LI.p-TableHeading {
punctuation-wrap: simple;
text-autospace: none;
font-size: 10.0pt;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
line-height: 120%;
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Julie
I don't understand why the TableHeading style is not applying the background color for the one table. I'm guessing I could just add it to the code using the HTML editor. However, I wasn't sure if that was the best way to fix this problem or if I would create another problem.

Hi Willam,
Thanks for your answer, and I will go ahead and add the background color to the problem table.
However, I am still puzzled as to why the background color is applied to the cells in the other tables and not the problem table. I'm not sure what I did to cause the problem - how I applied the TableHeading to the table cell in one case and not the other. Any ideas how I can avoid this problem?
I will not use the Word documents going forward and will only make changes with the RH editor.
Thanks again,
Julie

View the html source code of an apex page

Hi everyone,
I search to how I can view the html source code of an apex page and to be able to modify it. That's why viewing the html source code from the browser when the application is running doesn't arrange me.
Has anyone an idea how it can this be possible?
Best regards,

Do you want to be able to pull up the HTML source generated by Apex, modify that copy, and then feed it back into Apex with the chagnes you made? If so you can't. Apex generates the HTML through its tools and you have to modify the generation routines to get different HTML.
Do you merely want to look at the generated HTML? In Internet Explorer all you have to do is right click on the page and choose View Source to open a window with the HTML source in an editor. I sometimes find it useful to save a page and manually edit the copy to immediately see the effects of certain changes to the underlying HTML and/or Javascript without permanantly making the change in Apex.

Standard html Editor

One of the text field , I use standard html editor to enter the text. I can copy text from any other text editors like MS Word etc,
But Is there any way that I can copy an image from some place and paste to field through the html editor and insert a hyperlink on this image?.
I copied an image from MS Word, but it is not visible after pasting to the html editor, I copied from other html pages , it worked, but I cannot add a Hyper link on this.

Hello Sascha,
Thanks for your reply.
The initial requirement of client is to replace HTML editor with JCE editor.
Will you able to tell me about the development effort for such integration.
Secondly, am not sure this happens but just to be sure:
Ive heard that some client users have edited the file offline but the moment they upload the doc/file in Portal/KM, some of the tags miss out.
Including this, there are many other bugs in HTML editor and this is the reason why client wants to replace it.
Thirdly, I had also suggested to go with Web Page Composer but then again, its buggy.
We are on EP7 SP9
Any thoughts on this?
Awaiting Reply.

Ritu
