Alex,

Thanks. I played around and inserted a <p/> into the <publicationstmt> in the main instance, and didn't have any problems after that. The reason I came across this today and not a few weeks ago when I first started to experiment with the RTE is because I was loading files that already had paragraphs rather than creating new files from scratch. <p/> is optional and repeatable, so it's important that it can occur zero or more times.

Ethan,

Thank you for the reproducible test case. Indeed, this is a bug. The problem is that in this case, we don't include the necessary JavaScript file.

We determine what to include by looking at the tree of controls that is getting built, and since you don't have any iteration, there is no editor in the tree, and so the JavaScript is not included. This is obviously wrong, and I opened a P9 bug for this (our highest priority):

In the meantime, you can get arround this by adding a "dummy" HTML editor somewhere in your page that you hide with CSS. You might want to bind that editor to a dummy node (or even dummy instance) that doesn't contain anything. E.g.:

<xhtml:div style="display: none"><xforms:textarea ref="instance('dummy')" mediatype="text/html"/></xhtml:div>

As a followup, attached is a test case for the sandbox. It fails on my work machine, a web server, and Orbeon's sandbox.

The error is this:

Exception in client-side code.
Message: YAHOO.widget.Editor is not a constructor

File: http://www.orbeon.com/orbeon/xforms-server/dev-post-3.7.1.200912302200/xforms-yuicalendar-min.js

Line number: 88
I have gotten it in Firefox 3.5.6 and Opera 9.62. The error text is a bit more detailed in Opera.

I want to be able to attach the textarea mediatype=text/html input to a repeatable element (paragraph). I'm getting an error with this, not dissimilar to the one documented in the link http://n4.nabble.com/issue-when-adding-html-editor-inside-repeat-control-td36674.html#a36674 . It has been two years since this post. Is this still an issue? I could have sworn I had this working a few weeks ago before the holiday, but maybe I'm wrong.

What are potential solutions for the problem?

Ethan
