<editor> for textarea - doesn't work within a table?

[Tim Griffin]

Hi all,

Can anyone enlighten me as to why an in-place <editor> tag for a text area won't activate when its within a <table> <td> cell? The field activates perfectly if outside the table, but not within it. 

Oddly, an in-place <editor> tag for a string works okay within a tabe, but not for a text field.

Curious.

Well, this is odd, so I'm looking for an expert opinion here.

Upon restarting my rails development server (Webrick), and refreshing the page, the in-place editor for a text area DOES work, even within a <table> I can activate/deactivate many times.

BUT: If I refresh the page, I am unable to activate the in-place editor again, unless I restart the rails server, and refresh the page. 

Any hints would be appreciated!

View source in a browser, select all and copy. Go to http://validator.w3.org
, select the input source tab, and paste. See if your page has any
errors. That's the first thing to do whenever you have inconsistent
errors in JavaScript. Without a solid base, your page will possibly be
open to interpretation.

As far as a reload breaking things, perhaps your editor is failing the
same origin policy in one instance and not the other. That's a total
guess, since I can't see your code. If you have Firebug enabled, or
the Develop menu in Safari, look and see what the Console tab is
showing you. Any errors would be instructive.

Thanks for the suggestion Walter. I'll see what I can uncover.
