Width of editor in Internet Explorer

I am using CKEditor in a bespoke CMS to replace KTML which is obsolete. I have recently taken this over from another developer so am not totally familiar with the site coding.

CK works fine except for the display width in Internet Explorer. In Firefox the editing window is around 600px wide, as it was with KTML, but in IE6 it is only about 100px wide and very high. I think it is OK in IE8 as I have tested on a laptop.

Has anyone had a similar experience and any suggestions for sorting? I can't give any links to demonstrate as it is in the site admin interface.

I think you should check with latest version of Internet Explorer. This problem exists in IE. Use firefox, this is the best option to use. It is fast and effective.

Re: Width of editor in Internet Explorer

Thanks for,your comments. I did try the site using IE8 on a friends laptop and it displays OK. I personally use Firefox; I don't use Windows at all, just Linux, so don't use IE generally although I can boot into Windows to test in IE6.

The problem with this is that my client uses IE. I can suggest they install Firefox or update to IE8. But I would be interested to know what is causing the behaviour. I have tried to examine the css to see if I can make any changes but the the id and class structure is so complex it is difficult to isolate any one element.

cheers,
Mike
