WYSIWYG HTML Editor

I have been trying to implement the editor that was presented in a turorial on this site. I am having trouble with the following section of code under IE5 (works under 6)

// Setup iframe for editing
iView.document.designMode = 'On';
// Toggle view flag
viewBasic = 2;
// Show the table with the editor
document.all.tblEditor.style.display = 'inline';
// Hide the table with the text area
document.all.tblBasic.style.display = 'none';
// *****************
// Set the content of the iframe to the body of the textarea
iView.document.body.innerHTML = document.all._bodyText.value;

If i insert and alert function into the code before the line of *** then it works fine too..... It's all a bit confusing? I guess it has something to do with setting design mode (does this take some time to load?)

Anyway, appreciate any helpful advice.

I.E 5 is a pain.

Try using an onLoad on the iFrame to call a function that sets:

iView.document.designMode = 'On';

There are several bugs in IE5 that will basically bugger up the editor, you should use a min of IE 5.5 (patched)

Well, that's has given me a legitimate reason to stop getting frustrated with it. Thanks
