We appreciate the time taken to follow this one through;
as before, my point stands - can we not upgrade the
exisitng Cocoon stylesheets to ensure that htmlArea in
Cocoon *as shipped* can work properly with tables (now
that we know its possible).

Hello,
To add some more details:
I remenber from a HTMLArea faq that the HTMLArea.replace() function is
causing the problem.
In every <td> cell in IE hit by this problem, there is a Javascript
HTMLArea.replace() call following the <textarea/> element.
The only thing that has to be modified to the CForms stylesheets is to
move
this call to the "onLoad" of the <body> tag.
I just did this little experiment.
- I produced a file from my CForms pipeline that was OK in Firefox and
not
OK on IE (three HTMLArea fields in <td> cells). IE did show the
toolbar
only.
- I did a save source as HTML in the browser and saved it as a .html
file
- I added a resource mapping for this *.html to my pilepline
- I loaded the *. html file in IE: same problem.
- I loaded the html file in an editor and moved the HTMLArea.replace()
calls
to the onLoad of the body.
- I reloaded the *. html file in IE, and now it was working OK.
- So it is working OK when your <textarea/> elements are in the <td>
element. But your HTMLArea.replace() calls must be in onload.
- The solution that works for IE is also working for FireFox (I tested
with
Mozilla 1.7).
Hope this helps.

Subject: RE: HTMLarea and Tabbed layout
Derek,
the fact that HTMLarea does not work under IE(6), comes from a
timing
problem. In detail: the HTMLarea is rendered before the table cell
containing the textarea is. Since I'm stuck with tables
myself, I need to
solve this too. My questions concerning this resulted in
suggestions to
modify the forms_onload handler to include your own modified
HTMLarea loader
function.
I haven't yet thoroughly tracked all of them down, but I
don't mind you
beating me on this. :-)
Bye, Helma

Subject: HTMLarea and Tabbed layout
Its now been established that HTMLarea does *not*
work under IE6 when using tables... see:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=109203952322577&w=2
and that page layout needs to be achieved through
<div> tags instead:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon->
users&m=109203952322577&w=2
While its simple enough to do for simple page layouts,
its more problematic when using the built-in Cocoon
stylesheets to render templates specified, for example,
with:
<fi:styling layout="rows"/>
as the stylesheets use the "archaic" approach of tables
to achieve page layout, requiring a rewrite of a number
of templates.
Before I tackle this myself, I wondered if anyone else had
attempted this (and would be willing to share code) and,
also, if we should not look at "upgrading" the default sheets
supplied with the Cocoon installation in order to ensure
that (a) all the components play nicely together and (b)
support a more standards-compliant approach to page rendering?
Patches are welcome!
