I have TinyMCE installed and I have been trying to get it to work properly.
If you visit http://lubbockgunslingers.com you can see that the "NFL Partnership" block is displaying all of my code that I placed into the block.
This is driving me crazy! If I get rid of the code and don't use "Full HTML" it works, but I don't have my paragraphs broken up like I want.
Also, I have had problems with TinyMCE hijacking my layout. It will add a bunch of DIVs and BRs.
Has anyone experienced problems like this before?
Thanks.

Inline images filter
I believe you need to install the images module and then include the inline images filter in the Full HTML input type.

Tiny stuff
I've not had the block problem, but have had problems with editing something in Tiny which was originally input in another format. The rule is: edit it in the form it was input in. If you try to edit in Tiny, something which was entered in Filtered HTML, or vice versa, one or the other program has already set up unseen code. This code then shows up in the other form, or pre-empts the code you put in, etc.
I also know that Tiny does not work for me in Safari, even 2.02, so for Mac I have to use Netscape 7.2, a mozilla based browser.

TinyMCE: Theme not appearing
Thanks for the reply, JimK.
I have checked into what you mentioned and it is still not showing up.
I checked this Drupal install with another one I have done and what I noticed is that the Theme section (within the Admin/Settings/TinyMCE/ is not available. I do not have the option of choosing from: Advanced, Default, Simple.
I have tried deleting the Tinymce.module and the tables from the database, but still no luck.
I am using version 1.45 of TinyMCE. Maybe I need to go down a release?
Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?

that is why I went
that is why I went with:
http://drupal.org/project/htmlarea
you'll be up and running in two seconds.
HTMLArea
My main problem is that my client will be editing their own content. They don't want to learn HTML.
Other than that... it is really irritating to have it work on one install and not the other.
Yes, it is frustrating, but I really do want to figure out what the problem is here.

Have you set up an extra
Have you set up an extra "WYSIWYG" profile, as explained in the supplied doc. Drove me made for a week until I RTFM [g].
Once that was done I can paste any HTML code, into the HTML edit text field, and it displays correctly in WYSIWYG mode, or I can cut and paste from an HTML page directly into the WYSIWYG text area.
Yes, I have tried that
Yes, I have tried that.
I figure it has something to do with the fact that there are some options missing when I try to create a profile for TinyMCE, but I can't figure out why I am not getting those options.
I have duplicated this install on another site today and it works fine there, but it is still not working right on this client site.
I have installed the Tables input filter. Maybe I need to delete that as well.

You do not need to learn
You do not need to learn HTML to use HTMLAREA.
Try it... I doubt you will be dissapointed.
http://drupal.org/project/htmlarea
It's a solid alternative.
Okay... HTMLarea
Okay, I have installed HTMLarea. Part of my issue previously was that it doesn't work in Safari.
I checked the demo again in Firefox and I can see the formatting toolbar now. I have it installed on the client's site, but it still doesn't show up.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Maybe something is just wrong with my Drupal install
Maybe something is just wrong with my Drupal install. I may resort to installing a fresh copy of Drupal in a new directory and calling the same database.
Maybe I can figure out why it seems that no WYSIWYG editor will appear at all. If anyone has any other suggestions, I am open to them.
Thanks for all of your help.

It's a done deal
I installed a fresh copy of Drupal in a subdirectory, backed up the old database, setup a new database and copied the node, user, user_roles tables into the new datebase.
The switch over to a fresh install worked fine. I still had to add the primary menu items (among other things), but that was minor considering the trouble I have had so far.
I installed TinyMCE and it is working great (I still wish it had solid Safari support, though). By the way, I copied and pasted my Typography CSS rules into any and all TinyMCE CSS files and my client can now view the text in TinyMCE as it will be output on the actual pages. This is what I was trying to do before this became such a mess.
The thing that bugs me is that I don't know what caused the problems, but right now, I am happy to have it fixed. Now I can go pass out.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
