Safari 3, Firefox 3 (Mac) and TinyMCE

[steventux]

The tinyMCE editor (version 2.0.6.1) used in Alfresco 3 has a few compatibility problems with Safari 3. TinyMCE advise an upgrade to major version 3 but Alfresco contains several calls to TMCE functions from xforms.js which would need changing.
The problem I'm seeing is that the editor widget doesn't post the text entered. I've tried a custom, full and small appearance for the editor. None work consistently.
Firefox 3 on a Mac has other issues. Namely that the + and - buttons used to repeat a form field or field group don't appear to work. However the repeated items are invisibly inserted as validation errors will appear for these additional fields.
I can't find any forums posts related to this here - anyone had similar issues? Can anyone advise the easiest way to upgrade TinyMCE?

I can confirm that I'm seeing the same error with Firefox 3.0.4 on Windows Vista Business SP1.

The TinyMCE error you mentioned is also occurring for me in Google Chrome.

Chrome is the third browser I've used in my futile attempt to enter content into a very basic XForm.  IE7 lets me enter content as expected; however, that content seems to get cached on any subsequent attempt to enter content (the Author Web Content page is pre-populated the same content as the first content item submitted, and changing the content still yields the original rendition path on the Summary page).  Frustratingly I have to end my session by logging out or restarting my browser to be able to enter more than one instance of content.

Edit: the above annoyance is also occurring in Firefox.

Thanks Mike.
Workaround for now is to use Firefox 2 on a Mac.
