Well this is not a problem as Miro sorted it so I am posting the solution here.

If you have the editor on a page and are using the validator then you will not see the editor. The validator requires a backward compatibility with Jquery so simply add the following in the head and it is sorted:

<script src="code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.js"></script>

The html editor is suppressed when I add the form validator to the same page. Does anyone have a fix?
