Xinha Discussion Forum

You cannot simply copy and paste an image from a word document into your HTML, it simply is impossible.  You have to upload the file to the server, and link it.  You can use the ImageManager plugin to do this, or the ExtendedFileManager, or InsertPicture.  These plugins will all require PHP to be available on the server, and appropriate permissions set on the directory you are uploading images to.

The majority of buttons will not work in text mode, textmode is just a plain textarea, not a contentEditable iframe.

gusc: I'd suspect that IE makes it difficult and that whatever it was written for in the first place only had to be used in Gecko.  Email me for SVN & Wiki access (make sure to put Xinha in the subject so I see it).

Xinha will submit it's contents just like a normal TEXTAREA element.  You can do whatever you want with it once it gets to your server.

xinha_editors.yourEditor._onGenerate = function() { /* do your stuff */ }

set it after makeEditors and before startEditors

The intention has always been to have a stable download of "1.0" when the list of bugs to be fixed for 1.0 was emptied.  Like most things however, that list seems to shrink for a bit, and then grow again.

Perhaps if somebody would like to suggest a revision that they think is a candidate for "almost stableness" then I (or anybody else with Wiki access) can can put that online as a 1.0 pre-release ;-)

As for the broken-ness in IE, I'm not sure what IE's problem is, as you can see in the code mharris posted, the commented out stuff shouldn't ever be able to cause IE to infinite loop.  Should it?  I mean, it's setting a couple of styles on table cells, and doing the same on all the panels (of which there are probably 0 or 1).

Xinha is only designed to edit valid HTML.  If your $someword$ is not valid HTML, expect it to be stripped (by the browser rather than Xinha).

Doubtful it would work with Xinha, but whatever the case, we are not mind readers you would have to post a link to the script.

Please see http://xinha.python-hosting.com/wiki/Tickets for info on how to create tickets, but yes key events are handled in _editorEvent.

All ampersands in HTML unless they form part of an entity are required to be converted to & no matter if they are in an element's attribute or text.  That's the specification.  The browser internally converts & to the raw ampersand.

As for absolute link stripping, there are a couple of config vars you can play with...

  // specify a base href for relative links
  this.baseHref  = null;

  // we can strip the base href out of relative links to leave them relative, reason for this
  //   especially if you don't specify a baseHref is that mozilla at least (& IE ?) will prefix
  //   the baseHref to any relative links to make them absolute, which isn't what you want most the time.
  this.stripBaseHref = true;

Install the LiveHeaders plugin for Firefox and try it (and look at the headers to see if everything loads properly), chances are there is some permission problem or something and ImageManager is not getting installed.

Such a button would be easy enough to make,

xinha_config.registerButton({ id: 'hide_panels', tootip: 'Hide Panel', image : 'someimage.gif', textMode: true, action: function(editor) { edit.hidePanels() }});

or something close to that should do the trick.
