ckeditor in FF loads page scrolled showing editor header

Hello,

I have a problem when a simple CKeditor loads using FF (v3.6.13).
This problem does not happen with IE or Opera.

I've created a simple web page that creates a CKeditor textarea that shows at the bottom of the page. Normally, when the page loads it is positioned showing the TOP of the page. In my case the CKeditor instance is hidden (below) the page window requiring the user to scroll the page using the slider to view the editor region.

For IE and Opera the program works as expected - you see the top of the web page when it loads. You must scroll down to see the editor region.

For FF, the page is re-positions itself on page load so the entire ckeditor header toolbar is visible at the bottom of the page. This effectively auto-scrolls the page so the top of is now hidden. User then have to manually scroll to the top of the page to begin form population.

I'm using ASP method to show the editor.

I tried moving the Set objckeditor = new ckeditor, before sending the <head> but to no avail.

I'm doing something like this:

   Dim oCKeditor
   Set oCKeditor = new ckeditor
   oCKeditor.BasePath = "/Lab/CKeditor/"
   oCKeditor.instanceConfig("width") = 600
   oCKeditor.instanceConfig("skin") = "v2"
   oCKeditor.instanceConfig("toolbar") = Array( _
      Array("Bold","Italic","Underline","Strike","Subscript","OrderedList","UnorderedList","Outdent","Indent","Blockquote","JustifyLeft","JustifyCenter","JustifyRight","JustifyFull","Link","Unlink","Anchor","Table","Rule","Smiley"), _
      Array("TextColor","BGColor","Preview","Cut","Copy","Paste","PasteText","PasteFromWord","Print","Undo","Redo","-","Find","Replace","-","SelectAll","RemoveFormat","Source"), _
      Array("Image","Styles","Format","Font","FontSize","About") _
   )
   Response.WRite "<tr>"
   Response.WRite "<td align=right><strong>Event Description</strong></td>"
   Response.Write "<td align=left>"
   oCKeditor.editor "Notes", Notes
   Response.Write "<td valign=top align=left class=vs style='color:Green'>"
      Response.Write "&nbsp;Short description of the event displayed on the signup form"
      Response.Write "</td>"   
   Response.WRite "</tr>" & vbCrLf

Any ideas?

Re: ckeditor in FF loads page scrolled showing editor header

This is a bug many users experience using firefox. Personally I it only occurred to me using Safari. I found out that there must not be a hash mark in the URL (blah.com/page.asp# ) or the error occurs. Removing the hash mark fixed the problem for safari. But I don't know if that works for firefox. But as I said many users had that problem, maybe try to search the forum for an answer, if there is one yet.

In order to understand and fix the problem a testcase it's needed to reproduce the problem. It doesn't matter if the original code is from asp or any other server language, the important thing is the content of the page, stylesheets and scripts.
The simpler the code, the better chances are that the problem can be fixed.
