The issue has to do with multiple instances of Cute Editor on the same page being called with Yahoo UI JavaScript Library. The basics of what I am trying to do is to provide three buttons and each button opens a dialog window that contains a form with a CuteEditor inside of it. Here is a link to the example. There are three buttons: Edit Section, Edit Page, and Edit Sidebar. In Firefox and occasionally in Safari if you click the Edit Section or Edit Page buttons it does not display the text assigned to the $editor->text member. However at the bottom right of the Cute Editor it displays the correct word and character count. You are unable to click inside the editor at all. The Edit Sidebar will however work as intended. By submitting the form it just does a simple call back to a processing page where it just outputs the POST data. You will see that if you submit either the Edit Section or Edit Page dialogs it will still display the correct data. In Internet Explorer 6 and 7, it works as intended.
