PD html editor (Mac problem)

Hi

Could anyone help me. I have recently developed a page which contains an
HTML/WYSIWYG editor. I used the PD Online HTML Editor and found it really
easy to use. The only problem I have is that the page calls up an error
when viewed on a Mac.

I was wondering is anyone else has had this problem and what they did to
resolve the problem?

Is there an alternative editor anyone could recommend?

What actually causes the error and is there a work around? PD uses frames
and the Java Script that creates the error is shown below. If more
information is required please let me know


var errorString = "Sorry but this web page needs\nWindows95 and Internet
Explorer 5 or above to view."
var Ok = "false";
var name = navigator.appName;
var version = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion);
var platform = navigator.platform;

if (platform == "Win32" && name == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && version

= 4){
Ok = "true";

} else {
Ok= "false";
}

if (Ok == "false") {
alert(errorString);
}


Thanks for reading my problem, Andi

It's not a fixable thing- that online editor and most of the other's like
it use features of Windows/Internet Explorer 5+ to control the rich text
editing. Those features just don't exist on mac/IE.

There may be an error in the javascript that tests for browser version, i
don't know. But if the js worked on mac- it would display this:
Sorry but this web page needs Windows95 and Internet
Explorer 5 or above to view
