jHTMLarea works in all the browsers, but in IE9, if the textbox requires a scrollbar, anything below the initial window won't highlight when the user goes to highlight it.
The code below is what I use to call the plugin.
$(function() {
$("#aboutTextEdit").htmlarea({
toolbar: ["bold", "italic", "unorderedList", "|", "link", "unlink" ],
loaded: function(event) {
}
});
});
Figured it out!! Thanks to Warren Bullock
And using this stackOverflow question (once I figured out it was an iframe issue): Unable to select the text left in the Iframe beyond the visible area
the kicker is going into the jHTMLArea file and commenting out this line: edit.designMode = 'on';
which is on line 308. Works great in all browsers now!
