I implemented widgEditor for a text\_area,

I use

\<%= text\_area ‘post’, ‘description’, ‘class’=\>‘widgEditor’ %\>

to offer a basic textarea allowing users to enter text.

it shows when creating a new record, but not shows when a user clicks  
edit page. the edit pages just shows a plain text\_area.

all rhtml pages are generated by rails.

I compared new and edit page, both codes are same, no idea what  
happened.

I am under IE6.

Thanks for any help. regards,
