Hi,
I ran into this weird problem. I myself use a Fedora Linux in English language. I made a website for my niece with a CMS, in which I make use of CKeditor 3 via jQuery.
The CKeditor windows works perfectly on my machine and also on some windows XP machine I still have in some dusty corner. Even with IE6. And with win7/IE8 I have in a virtual machine.
But when my niece enters the CMS, the complete editor window has disappeared. Not even the orinal textarea is there. I can see the page, even the label for the field. But the entire textarea is missing.
When I look at the source of the page, the code is still there.
I tried everything, even different browsers (Firefox) don't solve the problem. Even removing the virus protection (completely de-installed) didn't help.
The only thing I can think of now is the native language of the machine they run on, which is dutch. I have managed to replicate this by installing a virtual dutch Windows XP and then I get the same problem. It doesn't work.
So I installed an english (US) version Firefox on this dutch Windows XP and guess what.... It worked!
Is this a know problem? Is their any workaround? There's many (older) people I know who barely understand english,
TIA
Herry

Re: CKEDITOR 3 not working with ducth Windows
It surely has nothing to do with the translation, as I never use dutch language in my code. (or it must be a variable name). The only dutch in my websiteis the textual content of the site. I downloaded the latest version of CKeditor in the standard zip-file from this site. The only extra file I used was jQuery.
But my knowledge of Javascript and how it's implemented on browsers is limited. My main thing is PHP coding. Javascript I only use for some simple things, such as Ajax-calls. And jQuery I never use, only when I want to use a specific plug-in, such as the one for CKeditor. But that's not where the problem lays, as it works fine on english browsers. So it must be an issue with the browser vs the either CKeditor or jQuery, I assume.
TIA so far
Re: CKEDITOR 3 not working with ducth Windows
Don't you think that in the case the problem was really due to a bug in CKEditor and Dutch, these forums would be filled of reports of such problems?
The fact that you're the only one having this problem points clearly to a problem in your installation and that's easy to test: load http://ckeditor.com/demo in one of those Dutch environments where your install fails and if it's working fine it will discard a bug in CKEditor.
Re: CKEDITOR 3 not working with ducth Windows
I guess I am not the only one having this problem, but most dutch webdevelopers, even myself, still use an english environment. When I googled for this problem I got many results, not unfortunately no solution.
I am also sure my setup must be OK, cos there is not a single thing I changed to the standard set up so far (tho I am intending to change the amount of buttons). I have approx 20 years of coding experience (perl, php), which of course is no garantuee for flawlessly coding (eg javascript), but I can say I do know how to install a package, when it comes to nothing more than unpacking and adjusting a few paths.
Anyway I think I know where to look for the problem, due to your first message. I used the p.i.t.a. browser called IE, and it showed a JS error, referring to an array called 'langEntries', which it says is empty. For some reason, when in an english environment it will probably point to english (default), but when the browser it not english, it will look for the correct lang-file. This I find a bit strange, cos you never know who's visiting your site (eventho CKeditor is mostly used in CMS's).
I wonder why it doesn't always refer to the default setting in case langEntries is empty, instead of mysteriously disappearing.
Anyway, thanks a lot, cos your advice to look at the error console directed me to this possible clue. I'll try it out and if the problem is solved, I'll leave a message, in case someone else comes to this page

Do you guys are able to see the CKEditor demo with Dutch browsers?
http://ckeditor.com/demo
I've just installed Firefox Dutch on my Windows 7 (English) and it works well for me.
