Hello, I'm new to using CKEditor (I used previous versions though, when it was called FCKEditor). Anyway, I installed the editor on my server and set it up on my pages just as the instructions say, but the editor window does not show up in Internet Explorer (I'm using IE7). It shows up fine in Safari and Firefox, but not getting any love from IE. Any ideas why this might be? The editor site says it works with IE, so I must have done something wrong. This is the code I have in the page to add the editor window:
I also have the Javascript call at the top of the page. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not show up in IE? Thanks!
<textarea name="text" cols="50" rows="30" id="text"><?= htmlspecialchars($text); ?></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
CKEDITOR.replace( 'text',
{
toolbar : 'Basic',
});
</script> I also have the Javascript call at the top of the page. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not show up in IE? Thanks!
Re: CKEditor won't work in IE7!
Hello
I have the same problem too: On 2 PCs I use IE8 (win XP SP2 and win 7). On win 7 the editor script does not start: the sample site (_samples/index.html), by every example, only the textarea is shown, with the default text in in, but no editor frame [see image].
===> on both PC NO PROBLEMS WITH FIREFOX (3.5.5)!
Win XP: Editor works fine. I compared the internet options in both IE8 point-by-point: all the same! All other Java Scripts works properly.
Whats the reason of that phenomenon? - Any ideas???
Re: CKEditor won't work in IE7!
<script type="text/javascript" src="ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
Which worked fine in all but IE. But for IE, turns out that you need the extra '/' before 'ckeditor/ckeditor.js' like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
Had no trouble after that. Just a thought, hope this helps.
Re: CKEditor won't work in IE7!
Hi - thanks
I'm afraid not. I used "<script type="text/javascript" src="../ckeditor.js"></script>" before. Win XP and all Firefox worked. I try also <script type="text/javascript" src="/dir_from_root/ckeditor.js"></script> and many other variations. IE8 won't show the editor environment. Firefox do.
I experiment with next statement too: <script src="sample.js"... without success...
Re: CKEditor won't work in IE7!
...remove the comma after 'Basic' so that you have:
<textarea name="text" cols="50" rows="30" id="text"><?= htmlspecialchars($text); ?></textarea> <script type="text/javascript"> CKEDITOR.replace( 'text', { toolbar : 'Basic' }); </script>...only for the last attribute though.
