    Good Afternoon,

    I am having a curious problem and not sure how to handle it. I am building a site using Revolution (Traditional), using Firefox 3.6.9 to build it in, but the issue is happening in IE 7 and 8 as well. Running on rackspace’s servers, not sure of the exact server OS.

    I have created a template with several template variables that are using the htmlarea selection as input type. When I created the first resource it all worked great. When i edit that first resource it all works great.

    When I create a new resource and choose the template in question it does not show the inputs as htmlareas.

    Is there anyone that has run into this issue and can help? (attached are 2 screen shots of the same fields working and not working)

    Thanks!
    John

      A bit more information about this.

      So, when I first go to New Resource, if a htmlarea is assigned to the default template it shows just fine, if I change the template to another one with an htmlarea, it doesn’t display the htmlarea controls. If I then switch back to the default template, the htmlarea doesn’t show the controls. However, if I save the resource, then open it from the list of resources from the menu, it will then display the htmlarea just fine.

      This is happening whether there is 1 htmlarea or multiple.

      I think that this is a bug, I can reproduce it every time I try, not sure how to submit a bug. This is happening in these environments:
      Windows XP64
      Windows XP
      Windows 7

      On these browsers in each environment:
      Firefox 3.6.9
      IE 7
      IE 8
      Google Chrome 6

      I do not have a Mac to check to see if it is happening there too.

      thanks!
