create custom buttons on tinymce

hey, im new to drupal... barely created a new account, so forgive me if im not in the right section... i have a couple questions regarding tinymce. If any of you can answer my problem it would help me a TON!

im having trouble coding tinymce... im relatively new to it.... what im basically trying to do is, have my entire page uploaded into tinymce so this way the designers dont bother us with small problems... I have not been able to acomplish that... :(
the second problem is: I need to be able to create a new custom button in the toolbar which would basially be a text field, somehting along the lines of this: "panel_id:_________" the blank space is where it would display the panel id in a text box....
but i need it to be on my tinymce toolbar...

thank you sooo much for your help :) hope to hear from you soon...

Maybe I'm not understanding you -- but designers cannot edit a page in tincymce. You can add tinymce to textareas in order to edit the content of those text areas. For that, see the http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg module.

As for programming tinymce-- you'll probably find more luck in the moxiecode forums.

well the basic idea for me to

well the basic idea for me to use the tinymce is as an admin edting page.
so what i was going to do is have my page uploaded in an hidden iframe below the tinymce, then grab the inner html of that iframe to populate the tinymce, the innerhtml will contain multiple divs, which are editable in tinymce.
the idea here is that, once the inner html is loaded, i need a custom button/textbox in the tinymce toolbar to display the "panel_id" of that div, when it is clicked.

I have been having a few problems with accomplishing this, like creating the custom toolbar button/textbox and for some reason when i open the page in firefox it gives me some security error, it almost works in safari but not in firefox....

If you would like i can post up an example that i have been working with....

any help would be greatly appreciated...

thank you so much!
