Forum OpenACS Q&A: ETP and Richtext / HTMLArea problem

The problem seems to be related to the form name (etp-edit)
and the minus sign that it contains.

Changing in etp-edit.adp the line:

<formtemplate id="etp-edit"></formtemplate>

with:

<formtemplate id="etp_edit"></formtemplate>

and in etp-edit.tcl the line:

ad_form -export { name attribute  widget} -form $form_list -edit_request {

with:

ad_form -name etp_edit -export { name attribute  widget} -form $form_list -edit_request {

seems to fix the problem.
I thought this could help others.

Just a little question. Is there a clean way to hide the B, I and URL buttons while using the HTMLArea richtext widget?

Regards,

An id value must begin with a letter or an underscore; it cannot begin with a digit. The W3C validation service might not catch this error, but an XML parser will. Also, if you intend to to use an id with JavaScript in the form document.idname.value, you must name it as a valid JavaScript variable; that is, it must begin with a letter or an underscore, followed by letters, digits, and underscores. No blanks, and especially no hyphens, are allowed.
