Dialogs won't display in ie9?

I'm using FCKeditor 2.6.6 in Internet Explorer 9 under Windows 7 x64 and since upgrading to ie9, any dialog I open in FCKeditor won't display correctly UNLESS I switch to compatability mode. The dialog window appears, but is empty and can't be dragged/moved.

Re: Dialogs won't display in ie9?

We strongly recommend you to upgrade to CKEditor 3.x. The 3.x line has been around for almost two years and CKEditor 3.5.2 is a stable, full-featured product. Please note that all active development takes place in the CKEditor 3.x line.

If for any reason the upgrade is not possible, you may consider adding the following line to the source code of your pages:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />

Documentation Manager, CKSource

See CKEditor 5 docs, CKEditor 4 docs, CKEditor 3 docs, CKFinder 3 docs, CKFinder 2 docs for help.

Hello Anna,

Can you provide more information about the reasons IE9 is behaving this way? Which scripts in _source are concerned?
Since the team won't provide a solution, someone else could try.

Regards,

Koen

Re: Dialogs won't display in ie9?

The anomaly occurs in all dialogs which pop up while in the editor. This is using FCKeditor inside Internet Explorer 9 on a open source PHP content management system site. The dialog appears with the frame and the top and bottom blue bars (theme specific?) with the dialog title in the top (Image Properties) along with the closing "x", and the button in the bottom (cancel) with the center of the pane being white (theme?). There is no "loading" type bar and the dialog cannot be dragged. The cursor changes to the drag "+" over the top bar, the hand over the "x" and the "x" and "cancel" buttons both react to mouse presses. No errors are thrown, nor does anything happen. The only way to get out of this state is to manually refresh the page.

FWIW, our team has decided to deprecate FCKeditor based on the response above. We have found (or are finding) work-arounds to all the quirks in CKeditor since in several instances it behaves differently.

Hi
IE in general always full of bugs..ms build new version to add new bugs.
I recommend Firefox or Chrome to be used.

Thanks

Has anyone confirmed that the MaximizeInDialog plugin works with IE9 with the new CKEditor 3.5.2 version? I too am using 2.something and before I start converting to 3.5.2 I just need to know if this works as the suggested workaround doesn't work for me.

Many thanks!

What's the MaximizeInDialog plugin?

You can easily test the latest version (3.6.2, not 3.5.2) at http://ckeditor.com/demo and I don't notice any special issue with IE9 compared to other versions.
