Javascript 1.2, attempting to enable a rich text area within an iFrame.  The designMode element does not exist initially.  When defined as "On" no impact (e.g. the iFrame area on the form is not rendered as editable).  No typing or posting to this area is available.

2. Form field is displayed/presented as background.  Not editable.

Documentation implies this works in Mozilla 1.3.  However, running Mozilla/5.0.
Please identify if this feature has been depricated or removed in this release.

You appear to be using Netscape 7, which is based on Mozilla 1.0.  Can you upgrade to a version of Mozilla or Firefox based on Mozilla 1.8, such as Firefox 1.5?

("Mozilla/5.0" is not a version of Mozilla; it's just something that all browsers have in their user agent strings.)

To bad the version of MOZILLA is not defined correctly.
If it was then this bug would not have been submitted.
Is the element rv:1.0.2 the version?

Will see if an upgrade to 1.8 is doable.
Thanks
