Salut JF - je me debrouille en Francais ... mais en Anglais c'est plus facile ...tant pour moi et pour le reste .. quand meme je te fÃ©licite en Francais come il faut

)... et en anglais...

..First of all I have to day that this is simply neat and unique - great thanks!!

I'm having some trouble with 0.2 dev in Firefox2.0 - when I open a new document and want to set the first paragraph I do so using the menue - but it's only when I start typing that the visualization of the paragraph section is actually activated. Alternatively, as a workaround, I could move the cursor back an forward and the see the paragraph block.

Should the editor by default give me an empty paragraph section on opening a new document?

There is also a situation where you cannot access the paragraph block via the mouse - after some time I found out that moving the back and forward cursor keys you can access the paragraph.

I also had the situation (although I can't reproduce it consistently) where leaving an H1 section by pressing the enter key, you don't get a but an <H1> again.

Are these issues known? Am I possibly misunderstanding the default behaviour of the editor? On your blog you discuss new 0.3 Version in a posting which is 4 weeks old - in trac you have an 0.3 branch with changes 2 days could you point out the changes?

thanks

Salut Gustav, et merci pour tes encouragements

Well, Gecko's default behaviour is to allow editing directly in the <body>, so without a container (like P). This isn't XHTML 1.0 strict compliant, so you can see in wym.js code that I've added:

Code: Select all: if(container.tagName.toLowerCase()=="body") execCom("formatblock","P");

This code is executed at the keyup event, so when you start typing.
I didn't found a better way to fix this issue, but you can for example set the default body value to   (in the div and in the iframe).

About the H1 issue: are you sure you didn't press shift+enter ?

0.3 branch is still very experimental. I think WYMeditor will become a jQuery plugin, but I need more testing to answer your question...

Hello JF,

When starting with empty tags (, for instance) there's no possible way of inserting any text inside it, although it the tag does show. The caret is placed at the right inside the paragraph container.

How to reproduce this:

Place an empty tag in de contentEditable div in the editor.html file.

OK, thank you Dyflexis.
Sorry Gustav, I didn't correctly understand what you meant.
I'm not sure, but I think this is due to Gecko's behaviour (should I say bug ?).

You can check the bug fix at the Trac, or update your svn working copy.

Hello,

It's not a bug in Firefox since both HTML and CSS standards specify that if a block element is empty, it should not be rendered at all.

I believe it's what causes this problem.
