Links button broken

Recently, my links button quit working properly -- it may have coincided with my Firefox upgrade, but I'm not certain. When I try to insert a hyperlink using the links button, the URL in the source is substituted with "javascript:void(0);/*1216036103192*/" and it disregards any page designation (e.g., _blank for a new window).

I've upgraded to the latest version of FCKeditor, but it doesn't make any difference. What could be wrong?

Re: Links button broken

Thanks for this post. I am experiencing the exact same issue. It began as soon as I upgraded to Firefox 3 as well. If I switch to IE7, I am able to insert links correctly. I'm curious about this answer as well.

Thanks!

Does http://www.fckeditor.net/demo and http://www.fckeditor.net/nightly/fckedi ... fault.html really fail for you, or are you using an old version (or haven't cleared your cache) ?

I tried using the demo editor here (good idea!) with FF3 and didn't seem to have a problem. There might be one difference though. I'm seeing the issue after the data is actually submitted from the editor. I'm not a developer, but I'll try to explain in more detail what I'm seeing - perhaps the others in this thread can compare the results. I'm using an older version of the editor, but I honestly don't know how to find the version number. The developers that coded my site did not include the "about" button in the editor. The first post in this thread indicates that they had already upgraded to the latest version of the editor, so my thought was that the problem might be something else.

Don't trust the first post. This is a problem that was fixed some time ago, and his problem is that he is using cached files surely.
You must upgrade your version and then the problem will go away.

Upgrading to the latest version of the editor was the fix! Thanks much!
