FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS not supported any more?

I downloaded ver 2.6.6 and can't get the FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS to refer to my style sheet.
I even deleted the stock style sheet and renamed mine to the same name. no effect.
Is FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS not supported in this version?
No matter what path I use, nothing works, my styles/classes are never referenced.
the config line -
FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'css/fck_editorarea.css' ;
doesn't work.
deleting the 'fck_editorarea.css' file does nothing (no errors in the javascript console).
clearing the cache has no effect.
there's no AJAX or any other funny stuff going on. I presume this feature no longer works (in this version).
Is this the case for CKeditor? I'd buy it, but w/o this absolutely necessary feature to use the website's style sheet to preview content, it would be worthless.
anyone? looks like everyone who asks this question gets ignored.

It's been a very long time since I configured FCKeditor, but I'm quite sure that such feature has not been dropped in a maintenance release.
Check that you are using the correct name for that option, that the path you are using really points to a valid file, use Firebug to check that the file is requested or look at the iframe to check what's being used instead of it.

Firebug found fck_editor.css as the file in use. From the skins folder. I presume that's the one for the editor itself.

Ok, I checked all 7 iframes, none are referencing the EditorAreaCSS stylesheet.

All of the link tags in all 7 iframes are referencing the fck_editor.css stylesheet.

Re: FCKConfig.EditorAreaCSS not supported any more?

doing a quick test case now HTML only.
I think the real problem is ASP.NET - running the latest DotNet version w/ the latest 2.6.6 scripts.

funny, I tried
@import url("mystyle.css");
on the FCK_editor.css file and got a big mess on the buttons (which I figured would happen), but no effect in the editing area. What's strange is that every iframe is using the same stylesheet.

Got it figured out. The ASP.Net version code behind setting overrides the javascript file. I discovered the original code behind (compiled) was assigning the path.
The other issue (why the HTML version did not work), is the path cannot start with ../ or ~/ (the manual should have stated that somewhere), but only works when it starts with a / (tried it without the forward slash and that is incorrect as well).
Time to rub the Rogaine into the scalp - that was a hair puller!
