The way that the editor applet gets its data has changed between R5.0 and R5.0.1. In R5.0, the editor applet gets its data with a separate call to the Domino Web Server using the "INPUTSRC" applet parameter. There were some problems with this method like losing the editor applet contents when the user activates something (e.g. some button) that causes the page to gets refreshed if the page is not saved first. In R5.0.1, the editor applet now gets its data from a hidden HTML field using Java to JavaScript communication (using a convention known as LiveConnect).

The current Notes browser doesn't handle Java to JavaScript communication. Because of this, the Domino Web Server will not generate HTML that uses the Editor applet for the Notes browser. Instead, the Notes browser will receive the regular HTML input area (i.e. <TEXTAREA>) from the Domino Web Server.

To override the default size of the HTML input area, use the HTMLAttributes (e.g. "rows=15 cols=80).
