Success! Thank you.
CKEditor is now working in FF. I'll need to replace the standard version with the customized version and edit the available tags, but that is doable. This is a critically important capability in my system, so I'm very pleased.
Initial observations that might be useful:
1 After editing text in CKEditor and clicking FF's Preview button, it often displays raw HTML code, not the visual result.
CKEditor Forum Preview
Config Setting Result
BBCode BBCode Result is pure HTML code: A large "Hi There" displays as: <h1><strong>Hi There</strong></h1>
BBCode HMTL Some HTML code leaks through: Large "hello" text previews as: hello ');">
HTML BBCode Pure HTML: Large "Howdy" appears as <h1><strong>Howdy</strong></h1>
HTML HTML YES! Works properly. Large "Greetings" shows as: Greetings (shown large)
2 Smilies and icons, when clicked, do not insert at the cursor, but you can drag them into the text area and drop them where wanted. That's no problem but could use a tiny tip like "drag into text" or "drag to insert" in the left column's "Forum Options." Again, this is not a problem
3 CKEditor's resize corner can expend vertically but not horizontally. FF's grippie is still present and functional. It must be moved down manually when using CKEditor's expansion corner to enlarge the text area.
The grippie is perfect for wide-screen forums, and nothing else is needed. But for narrower ones, it would be nice to let the user expand the text area horizontally as well as vertically. CKEditor generally has that capability but in this case it can only expand vertically. Would disabling the grippie help? This too is not really a problem
Thanks again. This makes FF even better. (And it also gives FF a check in the forum comparison's one box that lacked it -- WYSIWYG editing.)
