(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Gaurav]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: 

In the example: http://www.dhost.info/gmforum/rethink/admin/editor.html

I found that in Mozilla i was not able to type in the text area.  However, i 
could in the other browsers.  The textarea is an iFrame converted into a object 
that is used to creating html code.  ie) Wysiwyg.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. function document.onreadystatechange() {
  idContent.document.designMode="On";
}

2. The above code may be the problem
3.

Actual Results:  
I could not type in the iframe.  It is disabled.

Expected Results:  
I should have been able to type in the text area (iFrame) and be able to edit 
using the buttons.

Here is my code.


<script language="javascript">




//put design mode on for editing
var isHTMLMode = false
 
function document.onreadystatechange() {
  idContent.document.designMode="On";
}



//html and normal views
function setMode(bMode) {
  var sTmp;
  isHTMLMode = bMode;
  if (isHTMLMode) {
    sTmp=idContent.document.body.innerHTML;
    idContent.document.body.innerText=sTmp;
  } else {
    sTmp=idContent.document.body.innerText;
    idContent.document.body.innerHTML=sTmp;
  }
  idContent.focus();
}



//our own commands just for quick command creation
function cmdExec(cmd,opt) {
  if (isHTMLMode) {
    alert("Please uncheck 'Edit HTML'");
    return;
  }
  idContent.document.execCommand(cmd,"",opt);
  idContent.focus();
}


//submit the content
function SubmitContent() {
  if (isHTMLMode) {
    alert("Please uncheck 'Edit HTML'");
    return (false);
  }
  document.editor.YOUR_CONTENT.value = idContent.document.body.innerHTML;
  document.editor.submit();
}



//preview
function doPreview(){
     temp = idContent.document.body.innerHTML;
     preWindow= open
('', 'previewWindow', 'width=500,height=440,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=
yes,toolbar=no,menubar=yes');
     preWindow.document.open();
     preWindow.document.write(temp);
     preWindow.document.close();
}

</script>

not security related and not bugzilla related

You're throwing a JS error.

Error: missing ( before formal parameters
Source File: http://www.dhost.info/gmforum/rethink/admin/editor.html
Line: 36, Column: 17
Source Code:
function document.onreadystatechange() {

This is not a blocker.

In fact, it's simply not valid ECMAScript or JavaScript (though apparently it's
valid JScript).
