Hi Dick,

you are using Netscape. Because of the HTML-Editor is an ActiveX Control
from IE Netscape yust displays a textare to work in. If you need the
HTML-Editor you should switch to MSIE 4 or 5.

Regards,
Andreas

Betreff: Re: [opencms-dev] The WYSIWYG editor works,but not from context
menu


Hi Simon,

Yes,I locked the item. Actually,the context menu item "Edit Page" and "Edit
Controlcode" would be disabled
if the item is locked. I really clicked the "Edit Page"! But what came out
is not the WYSIWYG Editor.It's just
an editor which let me insert code into <![CDATA[ ]]> tag.

Yeah,it's really strange! I really don't know what's wrong!
Anyway, here is my configuration:

RedHat 7.0, Tomcat 3.2.1, MySQL 3.23.36,jdk 1.3.0.02 ,opencms4.3.6

my browser: netscape 4.7  <----Is those strange related to netscape?

I know that opencms 4.3.7 came out a few days ago and it got some bugs
fixed. Do you think 4.3.7 is better?

Thanks!

Dick
