Basic help for a newbie

Hello,

I'm trying to use FCKEditor and I'm experiencing difficulties. My main problem is that Javascript is (much worst than) greek to me...
Here is my test program :

<?
session_start();
include_once "../fckeditor/fckeditor.php";
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<head><title>Calendrier-annuaire de la vie associative locale</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15">
<style type="text/css">
BODY { background: #BBEFFF; color: navy; font-family: Optimum,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: medium; width: 80%; margin: auto; text-align: center;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="voirtest.php" method="post" target="_blank">';
//  $_SESSION['descrtemp']='mon beau texte';
$oFCKeditor1 = new FCKeditor('descrtemp1') ;
$oFCKeditor1->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor1->Value = $_SESSION['descrtemp1'] ;
$oFCKeditor1->Create() ;
$oFCKeditor1->Config['CounterName'] = 'counter001' ;
$oFCKeditor1->Config['MaxLength'] = '500' ;
echo '<input type="text" name="counter001" id="counter001" value="500"
disabled>';
echo '<br><br>';
$oFCKeditor2 = new FCKeditor('descrtemp2') ;
$oFCKeditor2->BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor2->Value = $_SESSION['descrtemp2'] ;
$oFCKeditor2->Create() ;
$oFCKeditor2->Config['CounterName'] = 'counter002' ;
$oFCKeditor2->Config['MaxLength'] = '2500' ;
echo '<input type="text" name="counter002" id="counter002" value="2500"
disabled>';
   echo '<br>
   <input type="image" name="submit" src="images/visu.gif" align="middle" alt="Visualiser">
  </form>
</body></html>';
?>

Try putting the character counter code before the Create() call. It's PHP, so I don't know quite how it works, but the native JavaScript interface requires that the Create() call come after all the configuration settings.

Hello LesBarstow,

Thank you for your answer. I did this, but unfortunately, it doesn't work.

Have you installed the plugin?
does it works with the current FCKeditor ?

Thank you for your answer, Alfonso. Yes I have.

As far as I know, it is the newest characters counter plugin, so, isn't it supposed to work ?

I don't know.

I've never used those plugins as their concept is flawed (IMHO), but I've always seen people claiming everynow and then that they can't make it work.
