wysiwyg has gone missing

[paulsra]

in page content editor, iv lost the ability to see the html output and can only modify the code.
there are no options such as font, text size, add link ect..
i just see code in the box.

it was working fine before.

i did notice that i had left the code editor window open then opened other pages to be modified, mabee that made it hang?

iv restarted iis and same problem.
using version 3.1.1

thanks

all fixed,
of course it was a silly mistake. whilst trying to get a java script to run in the wysiwyg editor, i made changes to the permissable app extensions in iis afecting the java operation.

has anyone got a basic java script to work through the page content editor?
i m trying to use a simple slide show type of thing for a photo gallery.

i created the script in frontpage and works great in a page of its own.
it just doesnt show in page on 68c.

any ideas?

When you use the internal wysiwig editor to create extra pages etc the contents are stored in the mysql database. Because of this they are "clensed" and sidplayed as a variable in the page so wont function as actual JS.

To incorporate JS in your pages you will need to manually add them to the template file and escape the code using literal tags so that smarty doesnt try and compile the JS.

forgive my poor understanding of this but if the contents are stored in the database will the content still be indexed by Search engines?

Yep. A bot accesses the underlying script just like a normal user would which triggers the query, pulls up the data and displays it to the bot/spider.

You just cant put JS in it because many of the not so common characters used in coding are stripped prior to insertion into the database for security purposes.
