ckeditor with PHP and IE9 compatibility view

I am instantiating ckeditor with php code but the editor will not display in IE9 if the user has "compatibility view" checked. It works fine if unchecked. I have tried using different Doc Types but that did not help.

ANY IDEAS ? Maybe someone can point me to a working example as well.

<!-- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> -->

   include_once "ckeditor/ckeditor.php";

   // Create a class instance.
   $CKEditor = new CKEditor();

   // Path to the CKEditor directory.
   $CKEditor->basePath = 'ckeditor/';

   // Dimensions  
   $CKEditor->config['height'] = 600;
   $CKEditor->config['width'] = 745;
     
   // removed auto <p> tags
   //$CKEditor->config['enterMode'] = 2;
     
   $CKEditor->config['extraPlugins'] = 'youtube,custform';
     
     
   // Configuration , maybe use 'Template' in future
   $config['toolbar'] = array(
      array( 'Source' ),
      array( 'Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Undo','Redo' ),
      array( 'Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','-','SpellChecker' ),
      array( 'Format','Font','FontSize','TextColor','BGColor' ), '/',
      array( 'Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', '-','RemoveFormat' ),
      array( 'NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','-','Blockquote','-','JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock' ),  
      array( 'Link','Unlink','Anchor' ),
      array( 'Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar','PageBreak','Iframe','Youtube','Custform' )
   );

$CKEditor->editor("editor1", $contents, $config);

SOLVED: ckeditor with PHP and IE9 compatibility view

I found a few code changes that made it work.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

   // ***********************************
   // ckeditor code here
   // ***********************************
   include_once "ckeditor/ckeditor.php";

   // Create a class instance.
   $CKEditor = new CKEditor();

   // Do not print the code directly to the browser, return it instead.
   $CKEditor->returnOutput = true;
             
   // Path to the CKEditor directory.
   $CKEditor->basePath = 'ckeditor/';
             
   // Dimensions  
   //$CKEditor->config['height'] = 250;
   $CKEditor->config['width'] = 560;
     
   // Change default textarea attributes.
   $CKEditor->textareaAttributes = array("cols" => 80, "rows" => 8);
             
   // Configuration , maybe use 'Template' in future
   $config['toolbar'] = array(
      array( 'Source' ),
      array( 'Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Undo','Redo' ),
      array( 'Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','-','SpellChecker' ),
      array( 'FontSize','TextColor' ), 
      array( 'Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline', '-','RemoveFormat' ),
      array( 'NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','-','JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight' ),  
      array( 'Link','Unlink' ),
      array( 'Image','Flash','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar' )
   );
     
     
echo $CKEditor->editor("about", $row['about'], $config);

Actually the problem is in my custom plugin... custform. It seems to cause a problem in IE9 in compatibility view.
