>> Firefox: editor is displayed but I textarea and buttons seem disabled as I can't click any of them. Nevertheless, trying the demos on CuteSoft website the editors work in the Firefox version that I'm using.

CuteSoft website is using the latest build (02/02/2006).

Please download it from

http://cutesoft.net/Downloads/default.aspx

>>- Netscape 7.1 seems to be treated as a downlevel browser: a normal textbox is displayed (with the issue described below)

That's a bug.  Please use this dll instead: Http://CuteSoft.net/download/CuteEditor.zip

>>- Downlevel browers: a normal textbox with HTML code inside is displayed. Is there any way to only display the text? I
currently reject any code as potentially harmful code and would like to keep this check.

Cute Eidtor has a built-in funtion which can remove inject script before write the string into the db.

If you want to retrieve the CuteEditor HTML content in plain text format, please use Editor.PlainText Property or Editor.PlainTextWithLinefeeds Property.

Editor.PlainText Property
Retrieves the CuteEditor HTML content in plain text format.

Editor.PlainTextWithLinefeeds Property
Retrieves the CuteEditor HTML content in plain text format and replace carriage returns with the appropriate br and p tags for breaks.

Hope it helps.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
