OpenWYSIWYG help please

[fjm]

Hello all,

I am using openWYSIWYG editor and have decided to use an external spell checker, I am having a problem with the spell checker and editor because they both share the same id for the textarea.

If I change the id in the editor to something else, the spell checker works. Of course the editor stops working. Is there maybe some sort of a workaround that can be done? If I had to dump one or the other, I would rather dump the spell checker. I must have some sort of a spell checker though. I was going to use firefox's built in spell checker, but it also doesn't work inside the editor. In FF, when you right click to get the spell check menu, you instead get the editor menu.

Sorry guys, I know absolutely nothing about javascript and I could really use a hand on this one.

Thanks,

Frank

What do you mean by "they share the same ID for the textarea"? Can you explain perhaps with some code.

Actually, I am starting to think that this is a compatability issue and has nothing to do with the id. Just so we can rule out the id, I have:

textarea id=pop
spellcheck(pop)

Is it at all possible to use any type of spell check with wysiwyg editor? The editor attaches itself to the textarea so I don't understand why i cannot spell check the document afterwards. As I think I mentioned, if I change the id in the textarea and match that id with the spell check, it works but then I have a plain textarea and not the nice editor.

Hope i'm making sense. I'm tired, been up all night with this.

Which spell checker are you using?

It is (as far as I know the only one available) googlespell.

Can you post the code you've tried or a link to a test page.
