I have the FCKEditor installed and the background color is the same as my site which is black so I cannot see the text. How do I change the background color of the FCKEditor?

Actually----Nevermind, I have figured out how to fixed this by changing the FCKEditor-->Advanced Profile-->CSS to FCKEditor Default, that seem to work but now I have another issue.

The text in my editor appears correctly but when I save the page all the formatting and images go away. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can customize the CSS that FCKEditor uses. Find it when editing wysiwyg profiles. You could use an additional stylesheet.

One technique is to use a typography both for the front end and for the wysiwyg.

You need to make sure you're using the Full HTML text filter or, better yet, make sure you allow the following tags for the FIltered HTML filter:

<a> <p> <span> <div> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <img> <map> <area> <hr> 
<br> <br /> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <table> <tr> <td> <em> <b> <u> <i> <strong> 
<font> <del> <ins> <sub> <sup> <quote> <blockquote> <pre> <address> <code> 
<cite> <embed> <object> <param> <strike> <caption>

See the Configuration section in the Readme.txt file included with the Fckeditor module.

I'm reading your year-old post and I have the same problem except I'm using CKEditor. Can't find any reference to 'advanced profiles' anywhere. Can you tell me what to change to turn the background color of a text-area box white?

Thanks
