HTMLarea invalid

I too have the same problem with htmlarea, use the ver. 1.3.8a developed by the team zen cart Australia, the editor html has never worked in my ie returns the error object described on the page define_page_editor.php htmlarea undefined error.
The editor has never worked.
Thank you
Sorry for my english I am italian

I ran into the same situation recently, and the cause for my case was:
In the config for catalog I set http to http://www.site.com
But in the admin I set it to http://site.com

That, together with the htaccess code used to redirect from non-www to www caused the problem. My fix was to change the config in admin to the correct one

Hope this helps someone.

I am having the same issue. i cannot get HTMLarea to work. It is in dropdowns and i have selected under store/editor. I just get the plain text editing box. I would like to fix this issue for the other designers at my store. I have uninstalled reinstalled, tried fckeditor to no avail so uninstalled it as well. Any ideas would be gratefully accepted. My site is here.

Hi I have resolved the problem on my site, I have ben canceled the file .htaccess in the folder htmlarea and the editor is back to working.
Hi

I tried removing the htaccess file but still doesn't work.:(

Sorry, you have erased the .htaccess in the folder /editors?
not in /editors/htlmarea, you can try deleted the htaccess in folder /editors.
most do not know how to help you if you have a linux hosting you should check the access permissions to the folder editors

I have no htaccess in either editors or editors/htmlarea and permissions on both are set to 755.

I am having the same issue, I see that in the code sometimes it is referred to as the HTMLArea and others HTMLarea could this be the issue?

Unfortunately, deleting the .htaccess file was no help and the domain name is the same on both config files.

Using v1.3.8a.

I just reconfigured my config files to include www. as part of the URL. Now the HTML area works! Go figure!

I am a new user of Zen Cart (1.3.8a) and ran into this same exact issue with only the plain text box appearing when HTMLAREA was set as the default editor.

After deleting the .htaccess file didn't work, I found out that HTMLAREA was actually working when I used Internet Explorer. It didn't work in Firefox 3.05 which is my primary browser.

I run the Adblock plus Firefox addon and suspected that was the cause. It was but, even when disabled it wouldn't let HTMLAREA appear. I ended up having to uninstall Adblock plus and restart Firefox. HTMLAREA appears and works now in Firefox.

So, just wanted to add another possible cause and solution to this issue.
