[thelist] Re-post: Mozilla and DesignMode

[Scott Brady]

(I posted this over the weekend, so it's possible it got missed.  Or, I'm just not explaining it well enough.  Sorry if the formatting is weird here, I'm doing this re-post in webmail and hoping the line breaks aren't all screwed up)

I'm trying to implement the Cross-Browser Rich-Text Editor (as available at http://www.kevinroth.com/rte/demo.htm -- the creator of it hasn't gotten back to me at this point) and have it working in IE6.

However, on Mozilla 1.3 (it's only supposed to work on Moz 1.3+), I'm having quite a few difficulties.

My problem line right now is in a JS file and looks like this:
document.getElementById('testFrame').contentDocument.designMode = "on";

That's giving me the following error:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument.designMode]" nsresult:
 "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
http://www.squidswimteam.org/dev/lib/htmlEdit/richtext.js :: Start :: line 141"  data: no]

Before that, I'm able to output the value of the designMode attribute (it's "off"), but it appears I can't set it.

If you'd like to see how I'm implementing it, you can go to:

You'll need to login, so I've created a test user:
user name:  tester
password: tester

I'm open to suggestions on what's going on.

Thanks!

Scott
