Problems with IE7Pro IE plugin / Enable Javascript

IE7Pro (http://www.ie7pro.com/) is a plugin I use to integrate spellcheking to my Internet Explorer, after installed, a couple of options apear on the browser context menu ( the one that appear when you make a right click). If u choose the option "check spelling now" it'll activate the spellchecker and underline the wrong spelled words that have already been written and the ones that you write after that.

After installing it, I made 2 tests, one with FCKEditor , and one more with the CKEditor. the versions I believe are CKEditor 3.4 and FCKeditor 2.6.6.

With FCKeditor when I activate the option to check the spellchecking, it underlines correctly the words that are had already been written, but it wont underline the rest of the text I write, until I choose the option again to check for spelling.

With CKEditor, it doesnt even show the options of the plugin.

Since the textarea of the editor is a contentEditable body I made my own Iframe with contentEditable body and it worked fine ( the spellchecking remained active after the first time I select it ), it works fine in regular input and textareas as well.

Can anybody tell me why it doesnt work that way in the Editor, or how/where can I look for a hint?

My guess is that IE7Pro is using Javascript to handle the event of writing so it can check everytime u write something, is there a way I can activate the Javascript inside of the Editor's textarea so I can prove right or wrong this theory? I've been looking all day in the forums and google and I havent found a way to do this.

If its of any use Im using IE8.

Re: Problems with IE7Pro IE plugin / Enable Javascript

I think that only the IE7pro developers know how their plugin works, so they are the ones that can provide a hint about what's the problem.
For example they might have added special code to handle FCKeditor, but it's missing for CKEditor.

Re: Problems with IE7Pro IE plugin / Enable Javascript

It aint a IE7Pro problem, it works with every iFrame and textbox Ive tested it with, and no, they didnt do it for FCKEditor, its for the Explorer. Also doing some test I realized that in one of the .Start() functions on the javascript lib that the FCKEditor uses, when I add an alert('anything'), right before it appends the iFrame to the TD where the textarea will be, it works just fine, my guess is that probably the code continues asynchronously while the document of the iFrame that its getting appended hasnt loaded yet. Ive tried adding a timeout and one function I made that works like the sleep() function of other langs but I havent managed to make it work.

Also I realize this post is not to fix other plugins problems, what I really wanted was a way to enable Javascript in the textarea of the editor so I could test my theory or some help undestanding why could that be happening.

the line of code I talked about before was something like:

C.appendChild( H );

C being the TD below the Toolbar's TD, and H being a just created iFrame, if I understand the code correctly.
When I add an alert after that line, the spellchecker doesnt deactivate.
