CKFinder and IE 5.5 -- bug or incompatibility?

We have just release CKFinder 1.0.1, focused on updates to IE incompatibility. Please let us know if you have better results now (remember to cleanup your browser's cache).

Thanks in advance,
FredCK

Hi, I have the same problem with the latest version of CKFinder...

Finaly I have found the problem. It is in the file ckfinder_ie.js at:

var bJ;
if (w.pm) bJ="javascript:''";
else if (w.gu) bJ='';
else bJ=''javascript:void(0)';

In IE:

bJ='javascript:void(0)';

I don't know why and what does it mean. But if I force bJ to bJ='' or bJ="javascript:''" it works... But I don't know how this solution might be universal or stable. But simply it works. So the solution is to remove the string "'javascript:void(0)" and keep there empty string.

Bye

telesto, thanks! How on earth did you find out.
I had the same problem and your solution works perfectly.

on IE 6 it has the same bug

this solution worked for me in IE6

This solution worked fine for me with IE 6 (6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300).

Thank you very much telesto.

This is a very pretty tool and has to be better known. Perhaps, do you have (creator of CKEditor) to apply this patch on your website quickly. Before seeing the solution, I was at a couple of seconds to not decide to use it because I wasn't able to make it work correctly with IE. At this time, when you open the website with IE, you encounter directly the bug.

Now I'm testing it in all conditions but I'm at 95 % sure that this solution is the good one for what I'm doing.

Thanks for your comments Gérald.

We are working intensively right now to release FCKeditor 2.5. Right after that, will be closing a new version of CKFinder, and we'll be certainly addressing this issue with it.

I'm testing CKFinder since one week now... And encounter a problem that I can't arrive to solve.

First of all, the two configurations I'm using :
- Development environment :
Windows XP Media Center Edition, Apache 2.0.59, PHP 5.2.3
- Production environment :
- Gentoo Linux 64 bits, kernel 2.6.18.1-grsec-miro-grs-ipv4-64, Apache 2.2.4, PHP 5.2.3

Theorically, I've exactly the same configuration for FCKEditor and CKFinder on the two environments (I uploaded the whole FCKEditor directory containing too CKFinder).

On my dev environment everything is working fine even on IE 6 and FF 2.0.0.7.

On my prod environment, if I use FCKEditor without CKFinder, everything is working fine. But, when I try to activate CKFinder in my code, it doesn't work properly.

The messages I encounter are the following at the displaying of the CKFinder browser :
IE : Error Line 34 Char 977 Object required (I translate from french... Not sure if this is the english message for an english installation of IE)
FF : this.DOMDocument has no properties ckfinder_gecko.js in, I understand, "var hI=function(){}..." and the following code.

This problem is the same on two different client computers (mine and the one of my wife ).

I verified all the directories access rights ("chmod -R 777" "chown -R gooduser:goodgroup") so, I think the problem is not there.

Can you please help me ? If I can't solve this, I'll deploy my solution without CKFinder (bad look for my customer) and I'm at one week to make my deployment. Of course, if I deploy the solution with CKFinder, I'll pay you the right license I need for CKFinder.

Thank you in advance for all your responses.

Do you have anything online where we can see it? Feel free to send me a private message if you need.

The fact is that loading the demo seems to work fine in our test, so I wonder if there is something else that might be the real problem, like a Google/Yahoo/whatever toolbar or any other kind of add-on in IE.

Could anybody that have experienced problems with IE give the list of toolbars and addons that they have running in IE?

Thanks

I have made de modification proposed by telesto in the "ckfinder_ie.js" file but now it's when I click on the "upload" button that I receive a javascript access denied error.

I am on IE 6.

Need help !!

As I said we are having difficulties to reproduce the problem, so could you please give some extra info about your enviroment?

I'm having the same problem with IE6 (I'm not using any toolbar).

I tried telesto solution and it worked for me
