No folder view in IE9

Hi there everybody.

My client is experiencing a bug whereby no folders are displayed in the left pane at all. She is using ie9 and I have been able to replicate the error. This javascript error is displayed in the console:

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'selectSingleNode'
ckfinder.js, line 7 character 46804

This is only happening in ie9 - ie8 works fine, and it even works in ie9 when I force browser mode to ie8 within developer tools.

Any ideas?

Re: No folder view in IE9

Which version of CKFinder is it? Any modifications done to CKFinder? What do you do to reproduce it?

Ah sorry, I should have included that info in the initial post.

CKfinder version 2.2.2.1. No modifications at all, apart from setting up the resourceTypes in config.php of course. Simply viewing the page in internet explorer 9 causes the problem. Every other browser (and ie8) is absolutely fine.

Re: No folder view in IE9

It's hard to debug such issues without being able to see such bug live. Most probably some white / weird characters were added at the beggining of config.php (double BOM maybe?), which break the XML document in the generated response by CKFinder.

What's interesting is that CKFinder should be rather broken in older versions of IE in such case, at least this is what I used to see before we added some workarounds for this kind of issues.
