Designmode IFrames and event handlers in Firefox 1.5

[jdlwright]

Hi all, I busted a gut getting my design-mode iframe to work properly
in FF1 and IE, and just when I thought everything worked nice I
discovered that in FF1.5 event handlers in the iframe are no longer
processed;

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Rich-Text_Editing_in_Mozilla

they infer that event handlers were never handled, but they were in
1.0.6...


Anyway - can anyone suggest how I can work around this, basically I
want to be able to detect when a specific span element in my iframe's
document is clicked?

If your document containing the editable iframe wants to know when
something is clicked in the editable iframe then it can certainly set up
event listeners on the iframe document, simple example
<http://home.arcor.de/martin.honnen/javascript/2006/01/test2006011901.html>
works for me on Windows with IE 6, Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 1.5 and Opera 9
Preview.

Live saver!!

Thanks very much, your example has saved me much trouble.

Thanks again
