Input hidden IE

I have a hidden input field with a name that matches one i set in a the replace load. Firstly i didn't want the ckeditor to work on any fields other than textareas (so is there anyway to do this). Secondly as the input is hidden why is ckeditor formatting it anyway? Is there a way to stop this, btw this only happens in IE not in firefox.

Re: Input hidden IE

IE is stupid and thinks that document.getElementById should return elements with that name.

You should protect your code and avoid using the same id and name in different places

Re: Input hidden IE

yes IE is stupid but i'm not using id's so technically speaking it shouldn't return anyways so i'm thinking this is something in CKEDITOR doing summit along the lines of

document.getElementByTagName('input') and not disregarding it if its got a hidden attribute?

Re: Input hidden IE

As I said, if you mix elements with an id and other form elements with that id as their name IE will do strange things.

You can keep trying to guess what's going on, but the simple solution would be to bulletproof it against IE.
