Do you have a link? Just from what you’ve written I’d guess the problem was javascript related, could be as simple as a conflict or a typo keeping the code that inserts the editor from running… are you seeing any errors? Have you taken a look with Firebug? I’d give that a try first, make sure everything is loading into the dom like you want, and go from there. disclaimer, I haven’t actually worked with TinyMCE, so this may be off base, just saw you hadn’t gotten an answer yet and though I’d give it a shot
