JAVASCRIPT ERROR ON TEXT FORMATTING

Hi,

I´ve tried to use the new FCKEditor 2.5 and I had problems when I select the whole document or distinct paragraphs with different font formats. The page seizes up and after a while I get a message that a script running on the page is slowing it down, giving me the option to stop it. The text doesn´t get the format selected (for buttons justify, indent, left, right, etc.).

Hope you have a solution on that asap, even the demo page returns this error!

Re: JAVASCRIPT ERROR ON TEXT FORMATTING

If you open the editor up in firefox with the firebug plugin it will ask you if you want to debug it and it will show you where this is happening. I actually had this problem when I was parsing a css file to get my styles rather than the build in styles.xml file that fck has, but this was a very specific problem.
The easiest way to debug it.
(1) Make sure to have firebug installed in firefox, if the problem isn't exclusive to IE
(2) Find fckeditor.js in your fckeditor directory and change "sFile = 'fckeditor.js';" to "sFile = 'fckeditor.original.js';" in order to load the javascript files in the _source directory as opposed to the packed js file.
(3) Try it again in firefox and when it ask you if you want to stop the script it should have an option to debug, this should point you to where the problem is.

Hope this helps, Good luck

Re: JAVASCRIPT ERROR ON TEXT FORMATTING

I have the same problem as oliveira_lcs. If I have something like 500 or 1000 lines of text inside the FCK and click to centre it all o justify, the Firefox or Chrome window becomes irresponsive, and then an alert pops up, ofering me to kill the process or to wait for it.

I've tried doing that Firebug suggestion but gets me nowhere. There is not a single line that gives me a hint.

Any help here will be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
