Ok I got it to work, thank you. However most (almost all) of my TextAreas that
a user can paste into live on AMDs. When these refresh the tiny_mce.js gets
lost. I don't think this is the correct answer to my problem. No without really
understanding how this works.
What I don't understand is why this isn't a bigger issue for webobjects in
general?
Anyplace there is a WOText area is susceptible to this effect. To anyone. I
can't believe that other people didn't get bitten by this issue many times and
that there would be a simpler solution than 'roll your own'. Either that or I
am more of a Noob than I care to admit.
I started playing with the NSValidation, but I am beginning to think this isn't
quite right either (or rather catching it and processing the setter is fine
too).
I just wonder what else I should be filtering for, and I won't know until it
bites my client.
I am just realizing all the places that my client can paste text into my app
and it doesn't look pretty.
I will keep plugging until someone says, 'there is an easier way!'.

Hi Ted,
I use <wo:ERXJavaScript filename = "tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js" /> and make sure you
have tinyMCE package unzip under WebServerResources/tiny_mce (plugins, themes,
utils) and tiny_mce.js.
Also, for the tinyMCE init, I just added it under HEAD tag right after
ERXJavaScript.

Kai S. Wong

Kai,
Can you give a little more information on how you used this? I added the
tiny_mce.js to my WebServerResources folder, and in my appendToResponce:
AjaxUtils.addScriptResourceInHead (context, response, "app", "tiny_mce.js");
I copied and pasted the script into the head of my wrapper:
<script type = "text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
theme_advanced_buttons1 :
"bold,italic,separator,underline,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,undo,redo,separator,cleanup,
separator, spellchecker, iespell",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
verify_html : true,
cleanup : true,
plugins : "legacyoutput,paste,spellchecker,iespell",
extended_valid_elements : "b,i,strike,u"
});
</script>
What do i have to do to bind my textarea (WOText) to the script?
Ted

Hi Theodore,
I use TinyMCE with paste and legacyoutput plug-in and I was able to solve copy
and paste issue.
Here is the sample tinyMCE setting:
<script type = "text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
theme_advanced_buttons1 :
"bold,italic,separator,underline,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,undo,redo,separator,cleanup,
separator, spellchecker, iespell",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
verify_html : true,
cleanup : true,
plugins : "legacyoutput,paste,spellchecker,iespell",
extended_valid_elements : "b,i,strike,u"
});
</script>
Regards,
Kai S. Wong

Is the Word issue the same as mine. When I view the logs I see 0x00 as the
offending character. If you look at the accessor (setJobDescription) from
below, you will see the NSLog that prints the int value of the characters. this
is where I discovered the 'zero' at the end of the string.
As I said I can not believe I was the only one that could have had this problem
so what do others do with it? Is there a way to handle this globally?
Obviously, there is no way to type a string with the trailing zero, so it only
comes when pasting in text.
If I use the accessor method to fix this, that implies that I must fix any text
area on any page that I generate. (this is of course only an issue with the
WOText not WOTextField)
Maybe I should override the accessor in my model?
