Chrome + GetSelectedElement()

Hi there!

When testing FCKeditor in Chrome for my company I found out that the placeholder plugin doesn't work completely in Chrome. You can insert new placeholders with the plugin, but you can't edit them afterwards, because the code

dialog.Selection.GetSelectedElement()

returns null instead of the object. I also tested the nightly build, but same problem there. Is there a workaround or solution for this on the way ?

regards,
Martin

Re: Chrome + GetSelectedElement()

Hi,

Thanks for your post, I found the same thing when testing the placeholder plugin with Google Chrome 0.3.154.9 on windows XP Pro SP 3 and FCKEditor 2.6.3

I also found it with Safari 3.1.2 and Opera 9.5.1 so that's at least three browsers that have the same issue.

This is a problem for us as we have two additional plugins based on sample code for the Placeholder plugin which we won't be able to get to work until we can see a resolution to this issue.

Here's one workaround to prevent the placeholder icon from displaying on any of these browsers (implemented for sample06.config.js - Chrome thinks it is Safari because it has webkit)

var plugins =
  (!FCKBrowserInfo.IsSafari && !FCKBrowserInfo.IsOpera ?
    ['Placeholder','-','About'] : ['About']
  );

FCKConfig.ToolbarSets['PluginTest'] = [
   ['SourceSimple'],
   ['My_Find','My_Replace'],
   ['StyleSimple','FontFormatSimple','FontNameSimple','FontSizeSimple'],
   ['Table','-','TableInsertRowAfter','TableDeleteRows',
    'TableInsertColumnAfter', 'TableDeleteColumns','TableInsertCellAfter',
    'TableDeleteCells','TableMergeCells','TableHorizontalSplitCell',
    'TableCellProp'],
   ['Bold','Italic','-','OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Link','Unlink'],
   '/',
   ['My_BigStyle','-','Smiley','-'],
   plugins
] ;

Within the fckplugin.js file wrap the entire code contents in this:

if (!FCKBrowserInfo.IsSafari && !FCKBrowserInfo.IsOpera) {
...(code)...
}
