Question

First off here is the code! 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <link href="content/wmd.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <title>some title </title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="main">
        <form>
            <h2>Only teaxt area</h2>
            <div id="wmd-editor-uno" class="wmd-panel">
                <div id="wmd-button-bar-uno" class='wmd-button-bar'></div>
                <textarea name='id-uno' id='id-uno'></textarea>
            </div>
        </form>
    </div>
    <script type='text/javascript' src="Scripts/mootools-yui-compressed.js"></script>
    <script type='text/javascript' src="Scripts/moowmd.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var MyConfig = [
        {
            input: 'id-uno',
            postfix: '-uno'
         }];
         window.addEvent('domready', function() {
             window.MyMooWMD = new mooWMD.WMD(window.MyConfig);
             window.MyMooWMD.start();
         });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Bam!

My problem is this, it doesn't work like the example at mooWMD tutorial all I get is an empty text area with the wmd.css style applied to it. I cant figure out what I could be doing wrong. All the file locations are correct but i get 'mooWMD' is undefined. I am at a loss any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

The problem (for later generations) is IE does not accepts the following syntax:

{
   att1: 'value',
   att2: 'value'
}

Where other browsers do. I changed it to

{
   'att1': 'value',
   'att2': 'value'
}

And it is fine now. (using the mailing list would have gotten my attention earlier)

OTHER TIPS

The code in the local javascript tag executes as soon as the tag is processed. This may happen before moowmd.js has completed loading.

Wrap the code in a function:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function loaded() {
        var MyConfig = [
        {
            input: 'id-uno',
            postfix: '-uno'
         }];
         window.addEvent('domready', function() {
             window.MyMooWMD = new mooWMD.WMD(window.MyConfig);
             window.MyMooWMD.start();
         });}
</script>

Then add an onload handler to your body tag:

    <body onload="loaded();">

The onload handler will not fire until all the javascript, images, css, etc have loaded.

 <head>
       <title>some title </title>
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Content/wmd.css" />
       <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/showdown.js"></script>
     </head>
     <body>
        <div class="main">
            <div id="wmd-editor" class="wmd-panel">
                <div id="wmd-button-bar">
                </div>
                <textarea id="wmd-input"></textarea>
            </div>
            <div id="wmd-preview" class="wmd-panel">
            </div>
            <div id="wmd-output" class="wmd-panel">
            </div>
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/wmd.js"></script>
    </body>

The root of the problem ended up being the moowmd editor just didn't work consistently in IE. The reason I was tiring to go with the moowmd was I liked how he handled setting up multiple editors. I ended up just switching to stackoverflow's branch of wmd it is working well so far.
