Re: Text Editing Problem

Jukka my apologies, I'm just frustrated by this issue. I mean to cause no
problems here...to asnwer your questions as best as possible.

You were asked to provide more information, such as the URL of your page.
You didn't.<

The reason I haven't is because the problem doesn't exist at the moment on
the website, I fixed it. When I went to edit something it did it again. I
spent another two hours fixing it again. So now I won't touch it so I don't
have to go through the whole procedure again. I just want to be able to find
a solution.

You haven't even fixed your newsreader to send character encoding
information, so we still don't even know what characters you are talking
about.<

Yes I did, here they are again: ÂfÃfÂ,Ã,Â,ÃfÂf Can you see them now?

You are giving even less information than in the previous thread. You seem
to think that WYSIWYG is the editor's name. It isn't. It's just a
characterization used for a wide range of editors, short for What You See
Is
What You Get (And What Others Get Might Surprise You).<

Sorry I'm confused now, that is the software that I use online via my host
server's website. They host my website and have this program that is used
for creating/editing websites. You can use Dreamweaver if you like or any
other, but for me this is the most user friendly.

If you have encountered a bug in a program, as you seem to suspect, you
should ask the vendor to fix it, or search for help on a forum where the
program is discussed. If these don't work, the odds are that you should
find
another program. There's no shortage of web page editors.<

Again like I said, I contacted the vendor, they tell me they have no idea of
what is causing the problem. The only thing they suggested was that I tell
me host server who are running the WYSIWYG software to do the following:

"Sounds like an encoding issue. There are a number of solutions to this
problem, but this is the most effective:

First find out what encoding your website is using, most websites use either
iso-8859-1 or utf-8, lets assume you are using utf-8:

Set the encoding for the editor like this:

$editor->set_charset('utf-8');

(if you are using the usexhtml function make sure you call set_charset AFTER
calling usexhtml)

Now when saving html to your database make sure you first parse your posted
html code through the fixcharacters function and specify the encoding:

Include_once('editor_files/editor_functions.php');

$_POST['editorCode'] = fixcharacters($_POST['editorCode'], 'utf-8');

If you are using Mambo/Joomla just replace your WysiwygPro mambot."

Has this provided information for you now?

I've tried various forums to no avail and most posters report a similar
problem to mine and still have not received a solution from anybody...

About a week ago I posted the following:

You should have posted a followup rather than start a new thread. At least
you should have mentioned the Subject of the previous thread, "Problem
with
Text in HTML".

You were asked to provide more information, such as the URL of your page.
You didn't.

You haven't even fixed your newsreader to send character encoding
information, so we still don't even know what characters you are talking

I'm currently using WYSIWYG online editor
