Grey area in IE10 Windows8
When I open my asp web page in IE10 the edit area of the ckeditor remains grey, does not show text and is not updatable. In all other browsers and versions it works fine.

I create the editor with the following code:

dim editor, initialValue, code, textareaAttributes
set editor = New CKEditor
editor.returnOutput = true
editor.basePath = "/ckeditor/"
editor.config("width") = 600
set textareaAttributes = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
textareaAttributes.Add "rows", 10
textareaAttributes.Add "cols", 80
Set editor.textareaAttributes = textareaAttributes
initialValue = "This <b>is</b> a test"
response.write editor.editor('editor1', initialValue)

Does anyone know if I should add something?
Re: Grey area in IE10 Windows8
I thought that using a beta version of a browser in a beta version of an OS used to mean that you're willing to get your hands dirty and find out what's wrong.

I have tested a little that IE version and it seemed to work fine with CKEditor, but that windows8 environment was too much for me so I didn't perform big tests and maybe something is broken, but basic loading seemed to work fine.

It's the RTM version of Windows 8 build 9200...
Re: Grey area in IE10 Windows8
You can always submit the bug to our dev site, but like Alfonso said, you're using our apps in unfinished products. Bugs are expected, many of which will get fixed once MS finished development.

We will be releasing a beta of CKEditor 4 soon so issues will be expected there too, which we hope you will help us debug.

some news ?
Windows 8 is in release now (15th august)
Re: Grey area in IE10 Windows8
I have the same problem of grey screen with IE10 of W8. Any progress on this issue ?
Re: Grey area in IE10 Windows8
Any update on this? It's starting to become more of an issue as more people buy new machines with Windows 8 pre-installed or who get the upgrade.

I've already had a number of clients call to complain about it and I've had to tell them to use Chrome.
Re: Grey area in IE10 Windows8
CKeditor 3.6.5 is not working in IE10 (Windows 7 and Windows 8) if you use
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

it works within the samples when used with
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">


If there are wrong or missing doctype definitions, Internet Explorer 10 is forced to use IE10 Quirks mode and CKEditor is not compatible to it... If you force IE10 to use Standard mode via F12, ckeditor is working fine.

I hope this helps figuring out the problem.
I've filed a ticket for this problem: http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/9653

CKEditor 3.6.5 works fine in my Windows 8, IE 10. I an using HTML5:

<!DOCTYPE html>

I make sure that I specify this doctype in the CKEditor config:

. . . docType : '<!DOCTYPE html>', . . . .

I am using the released version of Windows 8 Pro downloaded from the MSDN website (not a release candidate).

I miss the Start Button.
Re: Grey area in IE10 Windows8
The problem is not only the doctype configuration. There are several older applications with older and not quite accurate html syntax, which are displayed in IE's quirks mode. Forcing them to use html5 by doctype will destroy the layout of these applications :D

btw. the bug status changed from new to confirmed.
Any news on this subject?

Any news on this subject?

I'm using ckeditor 3.2 Revision 5205 and I'm not for now able to upgrade because I have integration with filemanager..

So if there is a workaround for 3.2?
