Not enough storage error in IE7/IE8

Hello,

I am currently getting an error upon attempting to load the CKEditor in Internet Explorer, namely;

"Message: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."

Which is manifesting itself as the editor having no styles applied. Upon closer examination, the issue is caused by the "createStyleSheet(h)" call in ckeditor.js. I'm attempting to circumvent the dynamic loading of the style sheets and just including them in the header of the particular page, however, I'm having little success.

Has anyone else came across this issue? If so, is there any kind of solution available for this?

Thanks
CW

Re: Not enough storage error in IE7/IE8

CKeditor uses the IE-specific document.createStyleSheet if it's available. Unfortunately, that method raises an error when the number of stylesheets in the document exceeds 31.

We ran into this on a Drupal install using CKEditor. Our dev environments run with CSS aggregation off, and certain pages were ending up with more than 31 stylesheets. In IE, CKEditor would try to use the method above to add stylesheets for the skin, and would yield the "Not enough storage..." message. Turning on CSS aggregation resolved the issue.

Looking at the CKEditor code, it seems like it should either a) add code to handle the exception when it occurs or (better yet) b) add code to handle the exception, and in the exception handler use the >31 style sheets workaround noted in the "Remarks" section of the MSDN article linked above.

It's just a hunch, but it looks like these two FCKEditor tickets may be related to the same issue:

Re: Not enough storage error in IE7/IE8

I resolved this issue with 15 CKEditor instances on my page. Don't ask why.

If you change
//Hide the container when loading skins, later restored by skin css.
'<style>.', editor.skinClass, '{visibility:hidden;}</style>' +

to
//Hide the container when loading skins, later restored by skin css.
//'<style>.', editor.skinClass, '{visibility:hidden;}</style>' +


in /ckeditor/_source/themes/default/theme.js, the issue goes away. The inline style accounted for the majority of the 31 style sheets allowed in IE. The first load of the page will flicker while sheets are loaded.

Hope it helps someone.

Re: Not enough storage error in IE7/IE8

I am also experiencing this error message (and my client is forced to use IE by their IT department so they are barking at me every day about it). I have it installed as a Drupal (v. 6) module, and get this javascript error exclusively in IE7/IE8.

Message is: "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."
ckeditor.js
Line 12
Char: 791


I cannot "optimize the CSS files" as something that conflicts is breaking the suckerfish menu into pieces. Is there a solution for this yet?

Re: Not enough storage error in IE7/IE8

I have the same issue - Drupal 6 with CKEditor module. I can confirm, that enabling CSS optimization resolved the issue, but I think, that this should be fixed, because some users dont want this option have always enabled and problems can occour also in other cases.

Thanks

Re: Not enough storage error in IE7/IE8

Isn't it easier to use CKEditor 3.5.4?

Re: Not enough storage error in IE7/IE8

I'm bumping this because we're having this problem with uncompressed CSS on IE9 and CKEditor 3.6.2. It seems like creating an element in IE is a better process than using createStyleSheet. Our code creates <link> elements, and it works in IE8 and IE9.
