I'm using the editor in a separate window and I need to get the text from the parent window.

What I do is <body onload ="obj_Editor1.pasteHTML(window.parent.document.form1.mytext.value)">

This seems to work on some machines and not on others. first we thought it's caused by IE 7 but it shows up on IE6 too.

What happens is - the editor loads, the text is populated and then after two little flashes of window the text is wiped out - the text is gone.

Has anybody had this problem before?

Thanks for any suggestions

PS. on Firefox the problem seems to be happening too :(

Yes, that is moreless it

- thanks for suggesting using onload="setTimeout('myfunction',1000)" - that has sorted the problem
