Re: FCKEditor not displaying in IE7

Problem solved.

The FCK Editor was inside of a div with the following style from a CSS sheet
#content {
float:left;
text-align: left;
_width: 98%
}

For some reason having the float:left broke things. As soon as I took the float:left out, everything worked fine.

Re: FCKEditor not displaying in IE7

Same here! But instead of a big white space I only see the original textfield with only 1 line. Neither original nor FCKeditor.

In FF2, FF3 and IE6 FCKeditor shows perfectly.

Re: FCKEditor not displaying in IE7

IE has a list of "things that can't go inside other things" using DOM insertion. It's a "feature", and one that my coworker just spent considerable time investigating and then working around for our own web app. In our case, we were able to put a SPAN inside our DIV container and all was better. It may work for you, too - good luck!
