Struts2 ajax textarea not working with prototype.js on IE8

[Kitt Lee]

hi all,

I have this strange error whereby on IE8, the ajax textarea doesn't show up properly when prototype.js is included on the same JSP.

<s:textarea name="letter.content" theme="ajax" cssStyle="background-color: #FCFCFC; border: 1px solid #A0A0A0; min-height:500px; max-height:inherit; " />

Firefox works fine though. Anyone has encountered this before and any solution?

I'm using struts2 2.0.11 and prototype.js 1.4.0 written by Sam Stephenson <[e-mail]>.

Doesn't surprise me; Prototype interacts poorly with other JavaScript libraries sometimes. Try changing the order of the JavaScript includes.

Thanks David for replying.

There is only one js include on my JSP which is included inside head and that prototype function will only be triggered by the body onload (which the form has finished loaded). However for some reasons, the ajax textarea provided from struts2 doesn't work if that prototype function is called upon body onload.

Any further advise is much appreciated.

Hi,
Try putting "id" attribute also for the textarea.
