Getting a Drupal 6 WYSIWYG editor + IMCE + CCK field 'Add more' to party

It seemed like a straightforward feature: to create a CCK field with unlimited values, editable using a WYSIWYS editor including image uploads into the editor. The solution is actually trickier because out of the many possible combinations and settings for getting a WYSIWYG editor and file uploading to work, only this combo seems to work, across browsers (including Google Chrome):

The main problem seems to be the in whether the module implemented Drupal behaviours (correctly, or at all).

Anyway, tried these, and none of them worked for what we needed:

  • FCKEditor module 6.x-1.3: doesn't work with unlimited value fields - removes all editor instances when adding new values!
  • FCKeditor module 6.x-2.0-beta1: doesn't remove the editor from other fields but new 'add another item' value does not appear with the editor instantiated.
  • FCKEditor with Wysiwyg API: can't seem to enable file upload.
  • YUI RTE + YUI modules: doesn't work with unlimited value fields.
