Re: FCKeditor 2.x In IE9 cause JS bug

yep.. I do..

I just encountered them now since I just upgraded to IE9.

Any solutions?

EDIT: just found a work around.

While in IE9, hit F12. There should be a console window. On the top-middle portion of the window, there is a "Document Mode" Click it and select IE8 standards.

This is just a work around, best bet is to get a new alternative editor that is compatible with IE9 out of the box. I'm not sure if CKEditor is IE9 compatible without changing any settings in IE9.

Internet Explorer 9 is the latest version and you must upgrade your browser. Or you may download Firefox 4.0. FCKeditor works just fine on Firefox.

Re: FCKeditor 2.x In IE9 cause JS bug

I haven't looked back since..

I just added the following lines just below <head> and <title> tags in my Masterpage:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">

Or just on the page where FCKeditor will be used in.

This forces the browser have its document mode to IE8 standards and works pretty well too..

I hope this helps..

Hi Andy,

I have tried what you have suggested and it works really well. However, it will be great if there is an alternative editor. Have you found it already?

Thanks.

Well, there is, but it probably is so obvious that nobody cared to respond. CKEditor 3.x (the successor of FCKeditor 2.x) is fully compatible with Internet Explorer 9, so you are most welcome to give it a try.
