inline editing for Rich text area is not working when using apex:detail

Hi,

 

I have a vf page and i am using apex:detail with inline editing as true in the page.

 

Inline editing works fine for every field except rich text area. When i double click on rich text area, it doesnt show the field for editing, but the save and cancel buttons will come (but wont work... means nothing will happen when i click save or cacel) and i have to refresh the page again.

 

I couldnt understand what is the problem here... :(

 

Can any of you please help me with this..

 

Thanks,

Jagan

Inline editing isn't supported for standard rich text area (RTA) fields, such as Idea.Body, that are bound to <apex:outputField>

 when Visualforce pages are served from a separate domain, other than the salesforce.com domain. By default, Visualforce pages are served from a separate domain unless your administrator has disabled this setting. Custom RTA fields aren't affected by this limitation and support inline editing.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. But its not a standard rich text field. It is a custom rich text area in a custom object

jaganjagan

you can experience this by.. ( hope you have inline edit feature enable for your organization)

 

1) create a rich text area field in any object (ex: Account)

2) create a simple visual force page with Standard controller as that object ( ex: Account) . Inside this page just give 

<apex:detail inlineEdit="true" relatedListHover="true" relatedList="true"/>

3) Now override the view button of that object (ex: Account) with this vf page.

4) Now go to any record and try to double click the rich text field.

 

Thanks,

Jagan
