FCKeditor Dropdowns not visible (flickering) in IE only

Hi,

I am using fckeditor on a screen in our web application. It works fine in our desktop computers on IE6,8 and 9.
But on a laptop computer using ie6 and another using ie9. I am unable to see the font, color dropdowns with no javascript error being displayed. The dropdown window appears to flicker as if it has opened and has been closed.

Please do help me solve this issue.

Re: FCKeditor Dropdowns not visible (flickering) in IE only

If FCKeditor works in one environment and does not work in another, this is rather the problem of the environment.

In any case, FCKeditor (whichever version you may be using) is an outdated and retired application that is no longer supported. The last code changes were introduced to it 2-3 years ago, so you can expect that various issues will occur, especially in modern browsers. You should definitely consider upgrading to CKEditor, FCKeditor's successor and a far more mature and superior product.

See http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/H ... _FCKeditor for more information.

Re: FCKeditor Dropdowns not visible (flickering) in IE only

If I try to see the issue through Developer Tools offered by IE9, i see the follwoing javascript error :

Access is denied(fckeditorcode_ie.js line 86 char 1703)

If this issue is seen only on laptop computers I dont know what to make of it.
Please let me know if there is any workaround.

( Upgrade to CKEditor will be done in the future)
Thanks for your input.

I have checked the ckeditor demo on the same laptop computers where the fckeditor issue was seen and the drop downs are visible for ckeditor.
Issue seen only for fckeditor
