One example they gave...

Error Fix: Tiny_MCE & RSH Additional "Mysterious" Editor on 11.4.2008 - The Problem Of course I always find the most obscure problems that can occur.... I'm using AJAX and I have both RSH and Tiny_MCE running. To make my life easier I have Tiny_MCE automatically making all textarea fields into editors. Now, the problem is there's a mysterious textarea field that shows up on Internet Explorer (Yay microsoft!) and it really shouldn't be there.
