Q: Why do I get an error when preloading text?

A: When preloading text, you must make sure to replace all single quotes, double quotes, carriage returns & line feeds on the server-side before loading or else you will get a javascript error. Check out the server-side demo pages included in the zip file and notice that the RTESafe() function is called on the preloaded html before writing to the page.
