This seems to be happening in xp only. I have tried different themes and different versions of explorer, but the only time that the textarea of the WYSIWIG doesn't show up is when I am on a machine running Win XP. Is this an XP bug with the javascript for the WYSIWIG?
Also, the error seems to be intermittent. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't.
Explorer version 6.0.2880 on both Win 2000 and Win XP tested. 2000 is successful, XP has the error.

Hi Chris - try the texteditor forum, particularly http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=6033
This one has been driving me crazy for ages (the error shows up with win 2k, not xp)
The 1st thing to check is - no characters at the end of config.php after the final '?>'
Good luck, Andy D
I am also experiencing this intermittent issue on my XP box. I can not track down why sometimes the normal HTML editor does and sometimes it doesn't show. The "enlarge editor" trick works for me too, but know after you close the large editor you will not see the html text in the small editor. Save the entry and it will show in the normal view and USUALLY when you return to edit you will be able to see the content in the small editor.
Please see the following discussion for more information on this subject:

This seems to be a problem with IE, particularly with XP but not necessarily. It also appears to be a random event, sometimes the body comes up, sometimes it doesn't. And no clues yet as to a fix.
I had the same problem, but migrated our installation to the ISAPI version of PHP (as opposed to CGI) and this seemed to solve the problem....
Running IIS6(2003)...........
