Internet Explorer error on ckeditor.js

recently I got a huge amount of errors when attempting to load ckeditor in Drupal using IE8.

In the head of the page I force IE8 to render in IE7 compatibility mode then all the errors and DOM/Javascript problems went away.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >

I am getting the same error in IE7.
It works fine in Firefox, but IE7 troughs an error in ckeditor.js:
Line 20 Exception thrown but not caught.

I would have thought that this kind of thing is checked before release.

Any ideas anyone?

And it's checked, but it's impossible to test all the possible combinations

Yes, provide a sample url or test page.

The url is following:

http://www.knightstemplarmtc.org/forum/ ... 3B683F6829

You need to log-in with guest/guest

In firefox it all works fine, in IE (with javascript debugger on) it shows an error in ckeditor.js and ckeditor is not shown.

Advice very much appreciated.

Cheers

Firefox does have the same problem, but it's not so obvious as IE because it doesn't popup a warning on errors. If you look at the error console you'll see:

uncaught exception: [CKEDITOR.resourceManager.add] The resource name "smiley" is already registered.

The error is due to the fact that you have manually included the smiley file in the head of your document. You don't need to do that:

   <script type="text/javascript" src="ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
   <script src="ckeditor/plugins/smiley/plugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</head>
