Webclient display TEXT_AREA compatibility issues

[Westy]

Using Servoy 6.0.8, I have a field set to display as TEXT_AREA that shows a nice formatting bar using Windows with Internet Explorer and Firefox. However, it fails when using the Chrome browser (it will not show the text formatting bar). It also fails on the Mac using Safari and Chrome.

Is there a fix for this?

a formatting bar for TEXT-AREA in webclient? that is not possible. Servoy does not have that.

Servoy only shows a formatting bar when you have an HTML-AREA set as editable in webclient.

That was a typo on my part. Sorry.

However, another issue has come up. With a https connection our users see a Security dialog, and in order for the text formatting bar to appear they must choose to view the form as non-secure. Is this a known unresolved issue?

The YUI html editor uses an iframe (for either displaying the results or entering data I forget). My first suspicion is that the source attribute of this iframe is not https (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1526 ... ws-warning). Can you run this in the browser console to check:

Code: Select all

Servoy.HTMLEdit.htmlEditor._baseHREF
// example return: "http://demo.data-sutra.com/servoy-webclient/"

If that isn't returning https then that is the issue. If important, we could probably figure out a hack/fix for you.

The fix may be to move to 6.1.6. That's the version we've settled in with for web client stuff and haven't seen any html area toolbar issues.

Thank you to Harjo and David. I will try 6.1.6 on a test server.
