wmd editor failed when askbot is working from an iframe

Wmd just don't working. I was trying to replace "top" on "this" in wmd.js but without luck.

        You are welcome to ask in Russian, I will translate to english (if it is not too long) as well and answer in English.

        No problems. Regarding your question - well I can only suggest you to debug the wmd script in firebug... Unfortunately I don't have the time to experiment on this right now, would be awesome if you could find the answer yourself and tell us :).

        Do you have a demo for your project? Just curious.

        At this moment it is just a plain install + auto authorization(when running from social network vkontakte.ru) and some minor changes.You can see iframe part there http://four.you-ra.info . After redesign I will test it under heavy load (100k+ unique users per day). nginx+tornado+askbot+?(maybe cassandra)

        btw have you seen this project hashcode.ru ? I am not sure, but it looks like askbot.

        it is based on osqa and seems to be customized. askbot and osqa originate from the same code base - cnprog, written in chinese. I have internationalized the cnprog and translated to English, also I myself worked on osqa in the beginning, then split off.

        "then slit off" - why?

        it happens :). Plus I want to make my own business with it.

        Is there any differences in projects ? I mean major differences ?

The simplest fix is by use pagedown
 
It is modification of the wmd with fixed IFrame problem.

Is there a reason Askbot is not using pagedown?

The editor has been customized for askbot - to support i18n and some additional functions were added - possibility to enter LaTex, uploading of file attachments... We'd need to port those functions into pagedown first.

If pagedown is actively maintained,  might consider pushing changes to it instead of all of these enhancements being only inside Askbot and therefore less visible/benefit to everyone else.  Might make maintenance easier going forward.    Javascript libraries are way too fragmented already.
