Rich Text Editor in Visualforce in Spring '10

Hi

 

I tried to use the Spring '10 rich text editor field in one of my own Visualforce forms, but it didn't seem to work (online editor complained about the field).  Am I doing something wrong, or is that by design?

 

Thanks,
Jon

Hello Jon;

I didn't see any problem of using richText fileld in VF pages. If your Opportunity has a richText field 

named "myField__c", you can use following syntax to display it in the VF page.

 

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">
   <apex:form>
      <apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.myField__c}"/>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page> 
 OR
<apex:outputField value="{!opportunity.myField__c}"/>
 
Could you please post your code here?

In order to use this field, you have to create a pre-release account. 
Did you try it in a pre-release account (or in your normal developper accout)?

Yep, I am on a pre-release org. 
 
The rich text editor fields work fine in the standard UI, but not in my Visualforce pages.

prageeth, you are absolutely correct.  It works just fine in my Visualforce page now. I could have sworn the editor was complaining, but I cannot reproduce.  I must have made a mistake.
 
So now I have a page with a gorgeous rich text editor!  Awesome.
 
Thanks!
Jon
