Does not work in any browser?

Hi

I cannot view the test docs in any browser, ie, net, opera, firefox. The text boxes display but all I get in place of the editor is text "FCKeditor - Default Toolbar Set" for instance. ie does produce a taskbar error saying that "fckeditor is undefined" ??

The FCKeditor directory is installed at localhost/mysite/FCKeditor/

Can some body push my in the right direction please

RE: Does not work in any browser?

Please post the code you use to call the editor (not the whole page, just the bits relevant to editor), than soemone can have a look.
Without more info, it could be anything.

RE: Does not work in any browser?

Ok, just a very first guess for you to try out:

Change:
oFCKeditor.BasePath = '/FCKeditor/' ;

To:
oFCKeditor.BasePath = 'FCKeditor/' ;

Please let us know whether that makes any difference.

RE: Does not work in any browser?

I have tried changing the base path to this and a few others but no joy.

Ie will not display the inline frames displaying a page not found. Must be a path thing surely?

RE: Does not work in any browser?

Ok, the other place to check the path is:
<script language="javascript" src="../fckeditor.js"></script>

If you call the js editor from your "mysite" dir, that should be changed to:
<script language="javascript" src="FCKeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>

Also check the case of the directory name. I would advise you to use lowercase for the directory name and then adjust the script to lowercase dirname too.
Some server setups get confused with mixed/uppercase.

So let's presume your server setup is this:
localhost/
mysite/
fckeditor/
the subdirs

If the file which is calling the editor is located in mysite, change the js header call path as well as the basepath to:
js: src="fckeditor/fckeditor.js"
basepath: 'fckeditor/'

If that still doesn't work, get the javascript console out in Netscape/Firefox and let us know the errormessage you are getting.

RE: Does not work in any browser?

hmm.. can you post your current version of the code on which you get the error ?

And please let me know the complete path of the file in which this code resides.

P.S.: the basepath /js src path are inconsistent at this moment.

RE: Does not work in any browser?

Ok...
Well the path is relative to the file which is calling it.

As you are calling the fckeditor from
localhost/usersites/fckeditor/_test/test.html
and the editor files are in
localhost/usersites/fckeditor/
change the paths to either one of the following:

Option 1:
<script language="javascript" src="../fckeditor.js"></script>

oFCKeditor.BasePath = '../' ;

Option 2:
<script language="javascript" src="http://localhost/usersites/fckeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>

oFCKeditor.BasePath = 'http://localhost/usersites/fckeditor/' ;

Either one should work, though option 1 would be preferred.

And.. if I may be so bold... google on something like "tutorial relative absolute path html" to get a grip on what we've been doing here.

RE: Does not work in any browser?

Hi

I have tried this before without success.

<input type="text" name="NormalInput" value="My 'normal' "field" value"><br>
<br>
Normal Textarea<br>
<textarea name="NormalTextArea" rows="2" cols="20"></textarea>
<br>
<br>
FCKeditor - Default Toolbar Set<BR>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var oFCKeditor ;
oFCKeditor = new fckeditor('EditorDefault') ;
oFCKeditor.BasePath = 'http://localhost/usersites/fckeditor/' ; // '/FCKeditor/' is the default value so this line could be deleted.
oFCKeditor.Value = 'This is some <B>sample text</B>.' ;

oFCKeditor.Config['ToolbarFontNames'] = ';Arial;Courier New;Times New Roman;Verdana' ;
oFCKeditor.Create() ;
//-->
</script>


All browsers display the text boxes and the descriptive titles of each, but no editor??

RE: Does not work in any browser?

Oh ! Duh ! I only just realize you are missing something in the head of your file.

Place this in between the
<script language="javascript" src="../fckeditor.js"></script> and the </head> tag.


<script type="text/javascript">

function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance )
{
window.status = editorInstance.Description ;
}

</script>

Let's see if that helps...

RE: Does not work in any browser?

Am I the only one who is having these problems, I cannot get even the test pages to work locally, although they will work from the FCK site itself?
