Hello, I need a HTML rich text editor for a field, and widgEditor seems to be just what I need: [http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/widgEditor/](http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/widgEditor/)
I've installed it, following the Aidanf.net's post: [http://www.aidanf.net/adding-a-rich-text-editor-to-your-rails-application](http://www.aidanf.net/adding-a-rich-text-editor-to-your-rails-application)
But althougth it displays well, I can't write inside; as if it was Read-only!! I can't even copy. I suspect that maybe widgEditor doesn't work with rails 2.0.2, but it's only a suspect, the true is that I don't know.
¿Somebody can help me? ¿Do you know this editor?
Thank you!!

i used tinyMCE and found it quite useful:

Also, what browser are you using? Have you tried it in both Firefox and IE? I know Opera doesn't work with some of the editors out there (just like googlepages doesn't work with Opera - you can see, but not touch ^\_^)
Other than, I'm not much help. Good luck!

Update: Problem happens in Firefox (last version), but not in Safari. It seems to be a browser compatibility problem.
