Need help using Rich Text Applet (web) in ND6

Can someone point me to instructions on how to configure a rich text field to use the rich text editor on a web form? I can get the toolbar to display but there is no body to type into.

Sorry if this subject has already been covered, but I cannot find this information using the search feature

I hardly think ‘don’t use it’ is a solution. If you know of an alternative that allows a browser to format (without requiring the user to embed HTML) their input, then please post it - I would be very interested in knowing the alternatives. Otherwise, although not perfect (and what is?), the RichTextEditor applet is the only game in town.

I have had problems with sizing - if your RTF is in a table cell (with fixed size), you have to be careful to size the applet to be small enough to fit into the table cell - use HTML attributes to size the RTF; something like “width=500 height=300”

It doesn’t exactly take much searching to find others. Here are just a few of the more notable ones, all with a Domino focus:

When it comes to the rich text applet, and real world use, “don’t” is certainly an option, and one many would recommend.

Maybe I should rephrase - ‘your prior response was neither helpful nor informative’.

Had you included the above suggestion I would not have taken issue with the previous response. The gentleman was asking for help in accomplishing a goal - your response was “don’t”. “Don’t” followed by other options is helpful. “Don’t” is not.
