Hi. I am trying to use a <cftextarea richtext="true" toolbar="basic" name="comments" />. I have tried many variations of the tag, but no matter what, all I get is a plain old HTML textarea. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried Firefox and Safari, and none work.

The rich text editor depends on the javascript based FCKEditor bundled with ColdFusion.  Verify that the required scripts and directories under the /CFIDE folder are available on your server.  This is normally:  /CFIDE/scripts/ajax/FCKEditor.

You should also verify that you have applied a security hofix related to the FCKEditor to your CF server.
