I have a problem with the tiny\_mce, i have this javascript in my view  
(that javacript works fine because when i didn’t had tiny\_mce it  
worked fine):

.

And also I have this in the HTML

. \<%= collection\_select(:temp,:temp, @templates, :id, :name ,  
{:class =\> ‘selecttag’}, :onchange =\> “change(value);”) %\>  
.  
. \<%= f.text\_area :body, {:id =\> “text\_area\_html\_content”,:class =\>  
‘mceEditor’} %\>

So…

The ‘onchange’ event of the select tag changes the innerHTML of the  
textarea using the javascript above. When I had the text without the  
tiny\_mce it worked fine, but now with the tiny\_mce the innerHTML it  
doesn’t works.

Can anyone help me, any ideas?

Thanks,

I solved the issue:

This was the the old script:

tinyMCE.get(‘editor1’).setContent(‘

# This is Ronen Site 1
’);

.

I changed it to:

Hope it helps someone in the future,
