Hi, I found a bug in this application and just wonder whether there is a fix for it.
Basically when I cut and paste a paragraph from MS word the RTE does not put the closing tag for bold text at the correct place.
sample text:
This is the line before the highlighted code. Comment: This is a paragraph after the word comment which has been highlighted. However when this is cut and pasted from MS word to the RTE, the whole paragraph gets highlighted. Is there a fix for this.. To replicate the error please first cut and paste this to MS Word and then highlight the Comment: then cut and paste from WORD to the RTE. I did try using the demo page as well and same thing happens. Thanks

WOW, Such a great tool for a web-site! I am a bit new to Javascript and need some quick help... How can I submit the value from the Text box to a database? I am not sure what value I need to request. Please help me solve this small piece of a large web-site. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
It's a great tool, but I'm trying insert flash code and I can't figure out what I need to do to allow it to keep the code. It typically will wipe it out. I'm building an interface for staff to update content and they wanted to add flash script from sites like YouTube. Any help is appreciated. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I bought the source code of this editor a couple of days ago, and so far have received nothing for my money. Since Kevin provides no way of contacting him on his own site, I'm trying here. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I have embedded the demo.cfm into my code and when I open this embedded code in IE9, there'a delay in typing and whats there on screen. Atleast a delay of 5-7 sec(which is a little annoying).
Wanted to know if its compatible with IE9. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
