Hi everybody,
I need your help
I'm just a new one to this forum but not to FCKeditor and I love all the work that is done on it.
I just got a big problem using Internet Explorer 7 and release 2.6.2 Build 19417.
Editor is working fin but each time I request a function that need to open a dialog box, the screen is faded and the dialog box doesn't display but field are active as I can enter value but I have t know by heart what I have to fill in. You can see in the screenshot the result of clicking on the "Insert/modify a link" button - same result for "insert Picture", "insert table"...
I have to ESCape to get back the control of my web page
If I switch to Firefox (2.0.16), this problem does not occur and all dialog boxes are displayed correctly.
Running an old release of FCKeditor (2.2), the dialog are displayed correctly - inside a popup window.
I think it is due to the new handling of the dialog that, i think, are using Ajax...
Can anybody help me to solve this problem as I didn't see it on this forum and it really a problem as the users of my dev will be using IE mainly.

Re: BUG? : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer 7
Yes, it would be good to fix any problem, but without knowing where is the problem is almost impossible to fix it. It might be some add-on as you suggest, it might be a combination of those add-ons, a security policy, a configuration setting, some corrupted file, an antivirus... there are so many things that might be the reason that it's almost impossible to make a guess.
Re: BUG? : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer 7
Running IE, Internet Options, Programs, Handle add-on modules (making a guess for the translation, as i am running a french release) I set all modules (running, and installed), activex, and modules that does not need authorisation to DISABLE... so it is quite basic now (no ggogle toolbr, or what so ever)
Security is set to MEDIUM (the lowest on my release), Confidentiality to LOW
Antivirus was deactivated (bitdefender), antiphishing deactivatd also
=> Problem is stil the same
Is there any way to reinstall IE 7 ?
Re: BUG? : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer 7
Finally I found a solution to that problem :
but I have to reinstall all my add-ons 
only way for my paart is to reset all parameters to default for IE : Control Panel/Internet Options/Advanced/Reset to default settings
Now, I can get all dialog box of FCKeditor
Unfortunaltely, I didn't find the origin of the trouble but may be I can find it when reinstalling
Hope It can help others
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
After you install your toolbars and buttons (I understand that the option that you have used has removed all of them), please, confirm that now it keeps on working, maybe for example the problem was a slightly different google toolbar, but at least now thanks to you we can say something at least for the people that faces this problem (and they might try to reset just some parts until we find out the problem)
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
After a lot of trial and error I have removed "float: left;" from a DIV tag that was surrounding it.
I also had to remove a "float: left;" from a DIV with the id #footer at the bottom of the page.
Seems strange but it also works now so I am (finally) happy.
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
I have the same problem; and it is definitely caused by html and styles surrounding the editor and the semi-transparent div covering the page. The div is supposed to be semi transparent but appears white and blocks every thing; Taking out this div using IE Developer reveals the dialogue. I tried sending it back by changing the z-index to -1; this reveals the page but not the dialogue. The dialogue is actually 2000+ px to the right of the page and 4000+px down the page. If you zoom out enough using ctrl+ mouse scroll down you will finally see it. So basically the dialogue doesn't have absolute positioning over the div as it should.
.
I am going to sleep; I just tell my user to use FireFox and wait for IE8 to come out and fingers crossed it won't stink as much
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
I am having the same issue with ie7. The dialog boxes are not showing up. When I click a feature which requires a dialog, I get the same image as shown at the top of the forum. I ran on FF3 and saw the dialog box perfectly. I downloaded ie8 beta 2, which resolved the issue, but caused a myriad of other problems(not related to fckeditor). So, I reverted back to ie7. I tried reseting everything in ie7, but to no avail. So then I went into default/fck_dialog.css and started messing with the css. I set the .PopupBody to height:400px, width:400px and deleted overflow:hidden. Now, I was able to at least see the dialog boxes, but this still leaves a scroll bar around them. I am a newb at programming, so I am unsure why this worked, but maybe it will help you find where the problem is. I am using fckeditor 2.6.3 on .net vb. By the way, the demo has the same error when viewed with ie7.
Thanks,

Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
If you are able to provide a way to reproduce the problem it will be much easier to fix it than just waiting.
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
In order to reproduce the problem you can follow a simple procedure:
1) Create a small text, select it
2) Open de link window, press CANCEL
3) Open de anchor Windows, press CANEL
4) Repeat 2 and 3 until the failure is presented
Since this is a random problem, could take 5 to 10 times.
On some machines, the problem was solved adding some code to the fckdialog making a small delay prior to create the iframe that includes the fck_link.
// Create the IFRAME that holds the dialog contents. $( 'innerContents' ).innerHTML = '<iframe id="frmMain" src="' + Args().Page + '?' + Math.floor(Math.random()*10000) + '" name="frmMain" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="auto" style="visibility: hidden;" allowtransparency="true"><\/iframe>' ;
Is important to mention this is not happening on FIREFOX and in some INTERNET EXPLORER. We disable antivirus (symantec), filters, proxys and still happends. We add the site to the minimum security zone and enable all the advanced features (scripting, etc).
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
- FIREFOX is not affected. (2.x or 3.x)
- IE (after cleaning local cache) works. Then it can fail at the next or after several intents.
- Disabling IE complements did not make any difference.
- added delay in js did some difference in some machines.
- as you bocame more "local" to application, problem seem to be worst.
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
Is this problem really solved?
I'm using the latest version (2.6.3) from the site, and I have no plugin turned on in IE (7.0.5730.11), but I'm experiencing the problem mentioned in the first thread. No issue with Safari (3.2.1), Firefox (3.0.5) and Opera 9.63.
Thanks.
Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
On IE7 (and only on IE7), whenever a dialog was requested in FCKEditor, the page briefly gained some opacity, flickered and occasionally (rarely) displayed the dialog for an instant, and then returned to its pre-dialog state. The dialog was never stable in an active state. It went away instantly and was usually not seen at all.
This problem was caused by the body tag on the base page having an onresize function that posted thepage.
onresize="reDraw()"
When I removed the resize attribute from the body tag *OR* when I rewrote the reDraw() function to simply change the editor div size without posting the page, then the problem went away. I felt foolish for the inefficient coding of the reDraw() function - it is much better now - but am passing this along because it solved what appeared to be an intractible problem on IE7.
Hoping this helps someone along the way...

Re: SOLVED : no Dialog Box are displayed with Internet Explorer
In a rpg-website we use fckeditor for forums and private messages. It always works fine except in one specific situation, that is when you reply to a PM.
In all other cases (create a new PM, reply a forum thread, create a new thread, edit your own page), dialog boxes appear properly.
Could the problem be related to some "bad" HTML-code?
If I change some CSS property with IE DevToolbar, such as z-index, left or top, the dialog box magically appears in the correct position.
It also happens if I zoomout... and when I zoom in to 100% the dialog remains, and does its own job.
