Rich Text editor for web (Best Fit For OS) issue

I have a rich text field set to “Best Fit for OS” and have it within a DIV with a style=“position:absolute; top:100”. The editor will not fully load if the position is set to absolute. If I change it to relative it will work, but why wont it work with absolute? Has anyone else had this issue? And is there a solution?

To test make a simple form like this:

<–put rich text field here–>

Thanks for any help

I had this issue too. It seems that the best fit for OS editor (aka the Internet Explorer DHTML editor) is a tad flaky to say the least.

Have you also noticed that you can’t set the font or any other properties of the control unless it’s actually shown on screen, and even then sometimes it doesn’t work.
