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.

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.
