I'm trying to convert HtmlArea so that it works with 3.0.3.
For those who don't know, HtmlArea is a great big collection of 
JavaScripts and other crapola that changes a TextArea into a WYSIWYG 
editor. Problem is, there's a main script which tries to load the 
other scripts, images, etc., and has trouble now because it tries to 
create its own URLs on the fly, and these no longer match what 
Tapestry wants.

I'm more than willing to code assets for all the images, other 
scripts, etc., but how do I reference those assets from inside the 
JavaScript components?

Thanks,

Hi Todd,
yesterday I spent a few minutes on HtmlArea component.
I suppose that one possible solution is:
* define every asset in HtmlArea.jwc file (for example:
[...]
   <component id="definitions" type="Script">
       <static-binding 
name="script">HtmlAreaDefinitions.script</static-binding>
        <binding name="url" expression="generatePath(assets.htmlareajs, 
'htmlarea.js')"/>
       
        <binding name="htmlareajs" 
expression="assets.htmlareajs.buildURL(page.requestCycle)"/>
        <binding name="dialogjs" 
expression="assets.dialogjs.buildURL(page.requestCycle)"/>
        <binding name="popupwinjs" 
expression="assets.popupwinjs.buildURL(page.requestCycle)"/>
        <binding name="langjs" 
expression="assets.langjs.buildURL(page.requestCycle)"/>
   </component>

   <private-asset name="htmlareajs" 
resource-path="/org/rz/htmlarea/htmlarea.js"/>
   <private-asset name="dialogjs" 
resource-path="/org/rz/htmlarea/dialog.js"/>
   <private-asset name="popupwinjs" 
resource-path="/org/rz/htmlarea/popupwin.js"/>
   <private-asset name="langjs" 
resource-path="/org/rz/htmlarea/lang/en.js"/>

[...]
* define a variable in HtmlAreaDefinitions.script for each asset,
<![CDATA[
_editor_url="${url}";//how are we gonna work this??? ;)
_editor_lang="en";//note, need fix this later for i18n before uploading 
component to Tassel...

_htmlareajs= "${htmlareajs}";
_dialogjs= "${dialogjs}";
_popupwinjs = ${popupwinjs};
_langjs = ${langjs};
]]>
* modify htmlarea.js so that it uses the variables defined in 
HtmlAreaDefinitions

The problem is that I think that the assets are really a lot!
I still looking for an easier solution ... any idea?
Thanks
Enrico
