Re: not able to update.

If you want to upgrade from FCKeditor to CKEditor you will have to completely remove FCKeditor and install CKEditor from scratch. If you want a newer version of FCKeditor go here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fckedit ... FCKeditor/
You will have to manually install the new FCKeditor. I do believe newer FCKeditor versions have the same path structure so upgrading should be a matter of overwriting previous files. With each passing year the team is less capable of providing assistance for FCKeditor because that version has been deprecated. We advise you switch to CKEditor.

Re: not able to update.

In this case the problem is quite obvious
You have a text area in your content, but it isn't escaped, so you have invalid HTML and that breaks your page
Your only option is to edit the database directly or modify the page to generate validHTML

Switching over is easier said than done when FCKeditor is embedded in complex applications and when the integreation is complex and has involved years of work. The "new" version of FCKeditor on Sourceforge has nothing new to add to 2.66 except a security fix.

FCKeditor's image and link browser no longer work in IE9 without a javascript hack and FCKEditor no longer loads in IE10, which requires a switch over to IE's Compatibility mode. I haven't even bothered to check out the latter, but the former has to do with their dropping the of the TextRange object which was never a part of the EMCAScript standard.
