Dear all

I installed the FCKeditor plugin following this post  
[http://blog.caronsoftware.com/2006/08/07/fckeditor-plugin-for-rails](http://blog.caronsoftware.com/2006/08/07/fckeditor-plugin-for-rails)

i put this in the view  
\<%= fckeditor\_textarea :company, :description, :height =\> ‘300’ %\>

I restarted my server and I got a small rectangle in the view unlike  
the test page of the plugin

any idea how to get it running

Thanks

hi

make sure you have included the js properly…Else the code written for  
display is proper.

thanks

lines related to java script
