Trouble with text/background color

Update:
I've tried using the svn mediawiki/fckeditor just now, and uncommented the lines in fckeditor_config.js that enable/disable text and background color. Still no go. I just get <span>text</span> instead of a span with color style.

First of all, THANKS to the developer(s). This is a great product.

I've installed the editor on my mediawiki server. My problem is that the text color and background color tools do not seem to work. When I look at the wikitext, they seem to insert things like:

<span style="">the text I selected</span>

So there is no color=#whatever in the style. Any thoughts on what I've done wrong?

Nick.

Re: Trouble with text/background color

I would like to figure this out also. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

My guess is that the developers are working on implementing text and background color button but haven't yet done so --- that's why the buttons are commented and not active by default.

Ya... I've got two posts on this topic, but no joy. I hope you're right about the development team working on it for the next release.

Re: Trouble with text/background color MAYBE SOLVED

Okay, I just downloaded and installed the latest MediaWiki+FCKeditor build, and made a fascinating discovery. After enabling the text color/background color icons, I was *just by chance* editing a page using Firefox instead of my usual IE7. The color WORKED and STUCK. Colors are viewable with any browser, but, apparently, not properly editable with IE.
