Using FCKEditor without ActiveX

I used to be able to use FCKEditor with IE when ActiveX was disabled although of course I lost some functionality. Now with the latest release I cannot use it at all.

Is there a configuration setting I need to make so that it will be useable with clamped down versions of IE?

If not can the ability to use FCK with IE clamped down please be re-enabled else I will have to look elsewhere for my editor.

Cheers

RE: Using FCKEditor without ActiveX

What you say is true, but what about FCK's use within a large organisation that is highly security aware and whose policy is unlikely to change (will not allow ActiveX). There are lots of them out there. They are also unlikely to upgrade above IE 6 for the forseeable future.

I do think that unless it is vital, there should be a reduced functionality mode else I (and others) will be stuck with the last version that did work.

RE: Using FCKEditor without ActiveX

An organization that is really security aware doesn't run IE. No matter if ActiveX enabled or not, they would ban IE at every desktop and use only Firefox or Opera.
And if they insist on keep on using IE and don't want to upgrade to IE 7 then it's another proof that they don't care at all about security.

On the other hand if you are using FCKeditor in a big organization then you might want to support the development of such non-activex code, without many features but having something that more or less works. Maybe it could be a plugin to replace the activex code with other code that tries to do that functionality as long as it's possible.
