Hi;
I'm running into the same problem but with the event "click"; the editor
never triggers the click on radio/checkbox input type I add into my
iframe's document.
It works fine for all other elements I tried (so far).
Andi, in a reply, proposed to try the nsIEditActionListener; what is
this? Where can I get information on how to implement this. This isn't
simple JavaScript is it?
Thanks for any advices/tips
