It helps a lot by searching for errors!

I tested some free tools, but I had always the problem that there was no possibility to use two or more autocompleter on one page and to organize the dependency. E.g. insert a name of a country in the first textbox and in the second textbox insert a name of a city. On the city textbox you only want to see cities belonging to the inserted country – no other cities.

This problem was the reason why I developed my own autocompleter using xajax. This framework allows me to respond on the key events and select the values from the database. I could write my own functions and use any parameters.

I generated a textbox with a hidden div below which is calling a function on the onkeyup event by using xajax. In this test I mark the searched string with a span and on CSS I colored it blue. Additional I added a mouseover using CSS.

That’s all!

1. At first, I entered the following text into my textarea:

2. After submit the form, I get this text displayed:

Now you can see that the text which is between the <strong> tag is now displayed as bold. But, it shouldn’t be! If I choose the BB code plugin I think the html tag should be disabled…

3. After submit the form again, I get this text displayed:

Well, now my HTML Tag is rendered as a bb code tag. That’s wrong. I want to display the html tag and not a formatted bb code text.

I searched for support, but nobody on the TinyMCE board helps me…
After some tests, I think, I fixed the bug.

Please change the _tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/bbcode/editor_plugin.js file and add the following lines to line 47 (before replacing the old tags).

rep(/</gi,"<");
rep(/>/gi,">");
