Xinha Discussion Forum

A common issue I've found is incorrect nesting of the form element, specifically people often nest it between <tr> tags or similar invalid locations.  This will cause problems for you.

i.e <table><form><tr> is invalid and very bad, <form><table><tr> is OK.

You are outputting stuff before the session headers are output.  Have a PHP developer install it for you if you don't understand PHP.

Put it in your textarea.

It may be, although I'm sure i've adjusted it once already.

Please provide a URL where we can see the problem and try it out.

Sure it's called "keeping your own working copy of the SVN setup just how you like it and then doing an svn update to bring in just the changes to what you want to keep and then doing an svn export of the working copy so that you can put a clean version without the svn stuff into your production systems". 

Kinda a long name.

It used to be, perhaps still is for IE, that selects ("dropdowns") cannot be covered by layers, they always show through.  If it works in Firefox, and not IE, blame IE for not fixing that very old problem.  Check in the latest IE you can get hold of.

Modify your plugin to accept the available variables in the configuration of the editor.

Common causes...

  1. You are submitting the form directly using form.submit() (or similar), which will not call the onsubmit() function of the form, which means that Xinha never gets told to save the HTML into the textarea.  If you are not submitting with a submit button, then make sure you call form.onsubmit() first.
  2. You have incorrectly nested the form tags inside tables, or table rows... eg <table><form...>.....</form></table> or <table><tr><form...> ... </form></tr></table>.  This is invalid HTML, and sometimes browsers will not throw events (or something, whatever Xinha fails on it), you should use valid HTML, specifically form tags may not be children of table, or tr.

BTW: I don't think the popup editor is available any more, it was so buggy it wasn't worth keeping around.  You could develop a plugin to do that.

Is it possible to hide (display:none) the map?  If so, then you could modify the FullScreen button to hide/show the map, that'd be the easy solution.

Plugin objects may contain a method onKeyPress which receives a standard event object.  You should also be able to define an onKeyPress for the textarea in the usual manner for HTML.
