Hi All,
No big solution, just some more background information on this, as I’m guessing someone else will have a related problem...
As it happens, it’s IE7 that’s having the trouble with Tiny. I can edit with IE6 or FF until I’m blue in the face, and I simply cannot break it. But my folks using IE7 have intermittent problems that have been diabolically hard to replicate and describe.
Essentially, what happens is that if you edit some content with IE7, you end up with all kinds of SPAN tags around any of your content. These contain sludge that changes font size and font families. Obviously, the first thought is to try Remove Formatting. It did absolutely nothing. Just for laughs, I also tried Clean Up Messy Content (sic) which probably has nothing to do with this, and no joy there either. One can manually edit HTML, but we’re not overly excited about having the newbie editor client do that.
One guess I had was that somehow IE7 borks Javascript activity while the editing is going on, but there I’m out of my league.
Pawing through the mountains of javascript code, there are zillions of bits of code designed to deal with IE, so it won’t be an obvious fix. Uggggh. I am going to experiment with some of the Initialization parms and see what happens.
Maybe I’ll... shudder... try FCKeditor instead. (and probably get a whole NEW host of problems!).
For now, the workaround is to just use FF for editing any content.
