Question

In our office we use TWiki 4.2

This site is running TWiki version TWiki-4.2.0, Tue, 22 Jan 2008, build 16278, Plugin API version 1.2

and I have a problem using the TinyMCE? -Editor in Firefox 2.0.0.8

When I open a topic with the TinyMCE? -Editor and try to insert a table or a graphic, a new little window opens in the center of the screen, but there is only HTML-Code to see. If I try the same with IE 6.0, the window contains fields to fill out for i.e. the tablewidth, count of the columns and rows (and so on) - as expected.

What's wrong with Firefox?

Nothing's wrong with Firefox - but something's wrong with your Apache settings. Have a look here: TWiki:Support/TinyMCEPluginPopUpsProblem

The tip with the Apache-Server-Setting works. Thanks a lot.

But now, there is another problem. In the TinyMCE? -Editor i can set Border-Width, Cellspacing, Cell-Backgroundcolor and so on - but after saving, it is an ordinary table, just build with "|" and text and all formatting is gone. Why????

The WYSIWYG editor integration converts tables from HTML to TML if possible. With this you inevitably lose some formatting. Proper way to handle this would be an editor that offers just the TML feature set.
