    <p>I'm in a curious situation where I previously had no problem achieving what I'm looking for. The following code is a part of an HTML page which is to host a TinyMCE rich textbox:</p> <pre><code>... &lt;textarea id="editing_field"&gt;This text is supposed to appear in the rich textbox&lt;/textarea&gt; ... </code></pre> <p>At first this worked as intended, creating a rich textbox with the enclosed text in it. At some point, though, the TinyMCE code decided that the textarea HTML should be transformed to the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;textarea id="editing_field" style="display: none;"/&gt; This text is supposed to appear in the rich textbox </code></pre> <p>This renders the text below the textbox which is not exactly ideal. I don't have a clue what caused this change of behavior, though I'm also using jQuery along with it if that could have any effect.</p> <p>I can work around the problem by loading content into the textbox with javascript after the page has loaded, either by using ajax or by hiding the text in the HTML and just moving it. However, I would like to emit the text into the textbox directly from PHP if at all possible. Anyone knows what is going on here and how to fix it?</p> <p><strong>Update 2:</strong> I have succesfully reproduced the situattion which causes the change of behavior: At first I just had plain text in the textarea as in the first code snippet. However, after saving the content the text would look like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;This text is supposed to appear in the rich textbox&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>The presence of the <code>p</code> tag causes TinyMCE to trigger the transformation between an enclosing textarea to a textarea which is just a single tag (as illustrated above).</p> <p><strong>Update 1:</strong> added TinyMCE config file:</p> <pre><code>tinyMCE.init({ // General options mode : "exact", elements : "editing_field", theme : "advanced", skin : "o2k7", skin_variant : "black", plugins : "safari,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,inlinepopups,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionality,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template", save_onsavecallback : "saveContent", // Theme options theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull", theme_advanced_buttons2 : "search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,forecolor,backcolor", theme_advanced_buttons3 : "hr,removeformat,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,|,print,|,fullscreen,code", theme_advanced_buttons4 : "styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect", theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top", theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left", theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom", theme_advanced_resizing : false, // Drop lists for link/image/media/template dialogs template_external_list_url : "lists/template_list.js", external_link_list_url : "lists/link_list.js", external_image_list_url : "lists/image_list.js", media_external_list_url : "lists/media_list.js", // Replace values for the template plugin template_replace_values : { username : "Some User", staffid : "991234" }, width : "450", height : "500" }); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
