The new Safari for Mac does have some big changes, no doubt that is what was happening. But for some reason I didn’t try other browsers. Also I use Advanced TinyMCE, but turning it off had no effect, the built in visual editor wouldn’t load.

It is a strange thing for sure and will only effect very few people. But I will email you links to my staging site that I set up. I only set it up to test this plugin so you can work with it all you wish.

Well, a computer restart didn’t fix the problem, but clearing cache and cookies did fix it.

What exactly was happening was that the visual editor would not load in at all, it wasn’t there, so clicking on the html tab would bring up the html, but it would not toggle back to visual after that on any page. And even if I didn’t make any changes, if I tried to leave the page, I would be asked if I wanted to leave or stay on the page. If I turned off the Preserved HTML editor plug in off, the visual editor would load in and I could toggle between html and visual.

Probably the javascripts were clashing. It seemed better to have the Slider turned off when installing Preserved HTML editor, then turning it on after the editor is installed.

Must be some wonky Safari issues, I just updated it too.

This plugin is a life saver and worth all the time to get it working (my clients also use Safari) I need to put javascript into posts for things like third party ticket sales and I also need clients to be about to use the visual editor on those pages as well. Same with some javascript galleries, I need the clients to be able to change the image order or add images while having some javascript code in the post as well. This plugin allows me to do all of that, it is just fabulous. Thank you for this plugin!

Oops, it is getting late, I left out in the first paragraph that restarting Safari helped with some of the sites and having the slideshow turned off before installing Preserved Html editor. I got all the test sites to work, and hoping the original site that started this all will behave on this computer after a complete restart.

Wow, what a weird thing. I installed another test site and everything was working until I added Genesis Responsive Slider (I tested adding other sliders and they too messed it up), then the tabs wouldn’t switch again, and the submenus on the Admin sidebar stopped working too. That happened with every test site where I had Preserved HTML Editor and a javascript slider. But only in Safari. Firefox and SeaMonkey were working.

So I went back to the original site I was working on, and I am still having the issue of being stuck on the html tab and I can’t switch. It doesn’t matter if the slideshow is on or off. I tried to put the same plugins on a test site, but I can’t recreate the issue. Now something else weird, I just loaded this problem site on my laptop and the site is working.

It is so weird that it is intermittent and only Safari. I will restart my computer, maybe some Apple javascript thing is tweaked on this machine only (it is a MacPro so a good computer)

Well, since I have been testing this for quite awhile, I do see on all the sites I tested intermittant issues when a slider is added. And only in Safari. Will report once I restart if that one site is still stuck.

Okay, let me work on those questions.

Genesis is not a free framework, but I can look to see what javascript it is using.

I will put up a test site too.

Be back in a bit.
