It did not happen on my desktop computer, and older Pentium III running Win2000. Both have Firefox 2.0.0.16 as their web browser. When using IE7 the WSIWYG editor would work on the notebook.

I eventually noticed in Firefox that the NoScript icon (bottom right hand corner) was partially red because yahooapsis.com had not been enabled for scripts. When I allowed scripts for this the WSIWYG editor worked again

.

Just thought I would post this as there may be other users experiencing this or similar problems in Firefox, the moral is check NoScript permissions.

Hi there

Nice find, thanks for posting the solution.

I've reverted the setting back to its original setting, so the problem shouldn't exist anymore.

regards

Hahaaar.... Steven enabled something to do with Yahoo sometime last week. No idea what it was or does but that is probably the culprit.

Hey Steven... What was it?

There is a setting that allows you to use yahoo to host the javascript files, they're used for things like the wysiwyg editors, image popup and AJAX features like quick reply etc..

But if using it causes problems like this, its not really worth the half a second of load time it 'could' save.

YUI (Yahoo! User Interface Library) script files are hosted locally on your server, you may however have them served from Yahoo's own servers, saving you some bandwidth and potentially decreasing load times.
