    Default WYSIWYG editor busted?

    Does the WYSIWYG editor feature work for anyone out there?

    I had never tried it until a customer of mine did. They did a couple of simple edits, and the result was a page that had exploded margins and page widths to ungodly dimensions! (eg, page width="120540108"). I have no clue why, but have confirmed the problem myself. I know there is a problem with images - if you use relative URLs, the editor tries to convert them to absolute:

    <img src="images/image.gif"> becomes <img src="http://www.domain.com:2082/frontend/themename/files/htmledit/images/image.gif">

    Any fix for that (short of telling customers to always use absolute paths)?

    Also, can anyone tell me where the code resides (what file) that drives the WYSIWYG link to pop up a window with the location at "left = 276,top = 232"?! I thought it would be in dirstuff.html...

    BTW, Why does CPanel (Nick) keep doing this sort of nonsense anyhow? I am constantly having to fix these screwy launch locations. Not all users use your browser and window size please...

    You have to use absolute paths, precisely because it's "wysiwyg" and you are creating the pages from within cpanel.

    Goes to show how popular a feature it is.

    As I dont' use IE 6 (required to run the WYSIWYG feature) I can't offer anything except to look in:

    /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/'theme'/files/select.html
