HTMLarea invalid

When I use HTMLarea (Admin > tool > Define Pages editor > HTMLarea) to edit pages, I find it still shows the way of plain text.
How should I do?
Thanks in advance.

I am having this problem as well. I have not made any changes to my configuration, but I can not edit any of my pages with the HTML editor. If I click the drop down box and select HTMLArea, it automatically changes itself back to plain text. What's going on with this???? I need to make some changes to my main page of the store and I can't do it with plain text!

I cannot reproduce this error ...

Has it ever worked for you?

What version Zen Cart?

Clean install or an upgrade? If an upgrade, from what version and how?

Do you have any add-ons?

It has always worked for me. It's all I've ever used to do my product descriptions (HTMLarea is not working there either) and edit my main page. I have not made any changed since I did the upgraded to 1.3.6 a couple of months ago.

The last time I added an item was about a week ago, so I'm not sure how long the HTMLarea has not been working.

I'm having the same problem on a new site and I'm an experienced zencart pro. It has just never worked. The only difference between this site and my others is that I've had to use winscp to upload instead of ftp.

I reuploaded all files just in case something was missing but no go. Anybody got any ideas?

And I'm using the most recent version with no changes to any core files at all.

mine stoped working a long time ago, I just use an editor and copy and paste it in or just edite the html file itself. Like the main page one you can edit yourself, contact us and stuff I just copy in, same w/ the ez_pages. This is why I am going to do a fresh install, now that I know a ton more than when I started.

As a professional web developer who's being paid to install zencart, I have no choice but to solve my problem. Surely someone out there can help?

Yes I think this is a big problem, I wish I could remember when it happened. I kind of want to think that it had something to do with the language pack I installed.

Could it be a module thats messing it up. I guess we could list what we are running and then see what we have in common?

I have a plain vanilla installation of zencart 1.37 with easypopulate as the only add on. I'm about to try uploading xinha and see if the same thing happens to it.

Oh, I don't know anything about the server this is on.
