Hello everyone. Today I installed the HTMLarea plugin with the latest Xinha to the /modules directory of drupal. Next, I've enabled the module and checked it's settings. When I now click on the the 'new content / page' link, IE starts loading some thing (I guess HTMLarea), but then returns an error (unfortunately in Dutch) in a dialog box, telling me that the action has been terminated. With other words: It can't load the page.

I'm working on a brand new Drupal 4.6 installation. I've read something about resetting the HTMLarea settings; I've done that, and now every setting is displayed twice in the list..

Since IE returns the dialog box, no page source is available exept for an IE error page: "Can't find the page".

It works perfectly on Firefox, but not on IE 6.

Have you tried on other browsers?

I have made a change to htmlarea so that the js includes at back in the footer of the page which seems to fix the issue.

I have commited this into cvs, so if some of you guys can test this version which will work on 4.6 as well, and I will backport the change to the 4.6 version. The sooner you guys check this the faster I will backport it.

i just threw the CVS script up on my server and tested it with IE6sp2 (win98se). HTMLArea has loaded fine for me and have verified that at least one of my users who'd been having this problem isn't having it anymore. Am tracking this with other users and will let you know, but I think you've nailed down the problem with this.

well the fix helped as far as the html doc now shows the code that should launch htmlarea, but still no sign of it kicking in.

we´ve for the moment installed tiny (which is working) but we realy do miss some of the htmlarea features/behaviours so hopefully we´ll be able to switch back in the future(not that tiny isnt any good, it´s pretty handy to be honest but going from htmlarea to tiny feels like a small step back generaly speaking, even tho tiny has it´s own little + aswell.

I am not too sure, goto my demo page and see if it is working there. I think that this maybe a xinha related issue, and not a htmlarea module problem.

your demo page is working and our 4.5.2 htmlarea installation used to work and all our other client sites where we use htmlarea is also working (not using the drupal module on those tho and we´re not using xinha either).

so yes it´s highly likely that there´s something wrong with xinha but i realy dont understand what, we´ve tried both the cvs and stable release of xinha and it´s installed in the right folder.

anyway we´ll make sure to keep an eye out on the progress of htmlarea and xinha since we realy do prefer to use htmlarea/xinha as compared to having to use tiny for now.

I have backported the fix to 4.6.

Give the svn version of Xinha a try, this is what I am using on my site.
