Hi -
My users are experiencing an ocassional problem with RichTextBox on IE 5
clients but I can't reproduce it myself
which is driving me nuts. It seems that the TextXHTML property is
returning an empty string when it shouldn't.
This happens once in a while and I'm wondering if anyone has had any
experience with the problem with users running IE 5.

I'm almost tempted to only display RichTextBox on pages running in IE 6.
Any clues?

Thanks!

I've found many problems using IE 5 to browse webs that I develop. We very
quickly upgraded our clients to IE 5.5 or IE 6, and the problems
disappeared. Seems like that version is a stinko.

IE5.0 has no support for the CONTENTEDITABLE option, i think that is
needed by RTB. IE5.5 is the first version with support for that.
*Reading the specs of RichTextBox* hmm.strange, RTB apparantly works
with 5.0. Does this mean RTB doesn't use a CONTENTEDITABLE IFRAME then?

RichTextBox works on IE5.0 and up. Microsoft fiddled the API a little
after IE5.0, so it's done a bit differently but it works fine. It does
use an editable iframe.
