Hi there,
Ive been working on getting the image uploading working, and so far so good in all browsers, except IE.
So, here is what is happening (to the best of my knowledge).
CKeditor uses iframes to execute the scripts to run the image upload, and image insert (into document). The iframes seem to load the index page of the current site at some point during the process. The problem with this, is that the index page, for users to log in, destroys other sessions that the user may have running, for security. So, when i execute the image upload in IE, the upload is succesful, but the users session is destroyed, and they have to log in again. All other browsers seem to run it fine (IE, what a surprise).
Ive spent the last 5 or so hours going through the code of CKeditor, and i am at a loss as to how to fix this (or even where to begin).
If anyone can offer any advice, or a possible work around for this, it would be greatly appreciated. I will happily divulge more information about the site if need be.
thanks

Re: weird IE redirection
anyways, after spending some time googlig this problem, i found some other people that experienced the same problem, but i still cant find a result:

The suggestion in that thread asks to ensure that the php session has started, and for sure hte session has started on my page.
I can confirm that the session in IE is getting destroyed as soon as you click on the "Image" button in the editor. Only clicking on this button causes this.
