Good Day...

I'm in the middle of creating a CMS and for ease of use and addition of extended flexibility I've decided to give the option to allow editing of the content via a WYSIWYG editor.

Because I can use it freely until I finish the CMS (at which point it may be distributed for monies in which I'll need a distrobution license) I had decided to use John Dyers FreeTextBox (http://www.freetextbox.com). Not only is it free for personal use, but it includes a really sharp ImageGallery control and is faster than some of the others out there as well. Also worth mentioning, it's a fully encapsulated solution now... you don't need to copy IMAGES and JS files... only the DLL and everything is stored within it. That makes rollout NICE...

Anyway, I'm having some problems with it... using IE, goto http://joshandbrandi.com/post.aspx?PostID=1. The FTB control is at the bottom of the page. Within it "undefined" is displayed. Not only that, but if I change that and try to add anything it doesn't post correctly. I cannot figure out what's causing this.

The funny thing is that using FireFox the error DOES NOT show up and the control works fine!!! Does anybody have any ideas on this?

nm... figured it out.

do share do share...

What had happened is I had an anchor with the same id/name attribute as the FTB control... once I corrected that it cleared right up. Basically I was confusing the JS in the page.

cool - thanks for letting us know - always nice to know the answers to problems even if you figure them out yourself...then when *I* screw it up I'll know how you fixed it...

lol yeah... i always try to post my fixes. I posted this on a few different forums and didn't remember which ones...

Just wanted to pass along this link to a new Flash-based WYSIWYG editor I ran across recently that is pretty cool..
