CKEDITOR.config.baseHref not working on IE<8

CKEDITOR.config.baseHref does not work on IE6 and IE7

I found that no images will be displayed when using relative url together with the CKEDITOR.config.baseHref parameter. I checked my webserver's error.log and found an error >file does not exist<, because the browser is trying to get the image from the baseHref of my CMS. (Which is coded in the index.html - head section like this: <base href="http://www.mydomain.org/dev/cms_myproject.web/" /> )

I tested this coniguration successful on FF, Opera, Safari, Chrome and IE8!

What do you think?

So what are the steps to reproduce the problem?

Re: CKEDITOR.config.baseHref not working on IE<8

the steps are:
1.) Write a html file, fe. index.html
2.) Put the meta tag <base href="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpath/to_docroot.web/" />
3.) Create one instance of ckeditor with javascript in your html file with the config parameter baseHref to a >customers webspace<, where the images of the content-pages are stored.

Re: CKEDITOR.config.baseHref not working on IE<8

Additionaly I found a bug: if you have this constelation where CKEDITOR.config.baseHref is different from your document <base href... /> metatag, each image displayed in the ckeditor's-area is also requested with the path from <base href... /> and produces an error line in the webserver's error.log.

Is CKEDITOR.config.baseHref applied to late?

I'm seeing this behavior as well in the latest 3.2 release, but I'm also seeing the problem in IE 8 as well. Relative images are not being displayed properly (the config baseHref setting is ignored) in IE unless the content contains a base href tag. The config baseHref setting works fine in Firefox.

Re: CKEDITOR.config.baseHref not working on IE<8

I have a simular problem in IE8. I use a relative path to the images. When I upload or integrate a picture via server browsing everything is allright. the picture is shown. BUT when I press the source code button to see the source code and then switch back again to wysiwyg modus the editor can't find the picture again and shows a mistake.

Re: CKEDITOR.config.baseHref not working on IE<8

Hello, I have the same problem on IE8. I set the baseHref in the ckeditor-config. The uploaded image has a relative path. But I can't see the image on IE. I can see it only in the preview at the upload dialog. At other browsers it works great.
I work with a frameset at my backend. Can this cause problems?

There is a ticket describing the problem: https://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/5042
But there is no activity for 3 months.

This problem exists also in CKEditor 3.3!
I had no problems' with the FCKeditor 2.x in the same environment.
