Hi All,

I am all of a sudden having an issue when trying to convert rich text from a visualforce page to a string within a controller. When I take the richtext="true" tag off the apex:inputtextarea, it records the value of the text I have in the input just fine, but when I set the tag to true it records the value as null, event when entering text in the input. Has anyone had a problem with this recently (specifically in a spring 12 sandbox) ? I set the version of the page to 24.0 fyi.

Simple example:

public with sharing class Example {

public string test {get;set;}

public void debugpage(){

system.debug(test);

} 

}

<apex:page controller="Example">

<apex:inputtextarea value="{!test}/>

<br/>

<apex:commandbutton value="Debug" action="{!debugpage}"/>

</apex:page>

----------------------

Putting a value in the inputtextarea on this page and clicking the debug button will show the value entered.

----------------------

<apex:page controller="Example">

<apex:inputtextarea richtext="true" value="{!test}/>

<br/>

<apex:commandbutton value="Debug" action="{!debugpage}"/>

</apex:page>

--------------------

Setting the inputtextarea tag of richtext="true" will show the debug of test as null. I have tried creating links, inserting images, just using plain text etc in the rich text editor and the string never returns any value.

Any ideas?
