iPad support

I guess that you just need to wait for Apple to release a version of its browser that supports to edit contents like the normal version of Safari.

CKEdtior works fine on iPAd, the only problem I get is that the onscreen keyboard on iPad doesn't popup automatically when the editor is focused and there is no way to call the onscreen keyboard manually

lol I am sorry, I meant to say that it shows ok but I can't type, do you have any idea on how to fix this?

You just have to wait for Apple to release a version of Safari that behaves like the desktop version. You can write Steve Jobs about it because no one outside Apple can help with that problem (in other systems it could be possible to use another browser, but that's ruled out in iPhoneOS)

You may be able to verify this by selecting another form field on the page and seeing if you can hit 'Next' or 'Previous' to tab to CKEditor? Alternatively, I think Opera Mini is available, you could give that a try?

EDIT: Just given that a try on my phone and it doesn't work Although, it was the first time I'd bothered looking at the HTML produced by CKEditor, and now I know why the keyboard doesn't popup - there's no actual form elements involved when you edit, so it is just a Javascript error with Safari on iOS. Which hopefully means it can/will be fixed

EDIT 2: I'm being slow this morning, apologies! I just checked it out and of course the quickest and simplest fix is to hit 'Source' view - this creates a <textarea> which you can edit without a problem It's not WYSIWYG, but it's editable!

Yes, from the start it's clear that the problem is the lack of support by Apple. Also, you must remember that iPhoneOS doesn't support Flash, so inserting them into the editor would be the minor of your problems.

And as Mozilla has shown with Fennec for Android, it's possible to provide contentEditable in a mobile device, so in the long term it might be better to wait a little to check what's provided in tablets with Android before rushing to get an iPad if you really want to use it with any web page.

My reading of that documentation indicates that mobile Safari simply can't send text data to a contenteditable element in a page -- in other words, there's no way to put text into the CKEditor edit area, even if you could force the browser to bring up a keyboard. CKEditor would need to use a textarea element (which is why it works when you're in "Source" mode, since that's a genuine textarea) but that won't allow arbitrary non-text elements like embedded images, etc.

It might be possible to have a kind of hobbled styled-textarea middle ground that allowed styling of text in a WYSIWYG manner but not arbitrary image insertion or Flash objects or whatever... but that would be a lot of effort for something Apple should really just fix on their end.

That's exactly what i am going to do, wait... i have to deliver a website for some 300 membres that Will receive an iPad, maybe the Samsung tablet is more appropriate for business!!!

Bill , I think you will be fine with the original Ipad especially if you find a cheap used one. Goodluck.

I just got an Ipad and was wondering where i could get it to function as it would on my computer.. i mean, is there an app to fetch from the app store?

it's not works for me. Open CKEditor from Ipad. FYI the Ipad using IOS 3.2
I try to figure it now.
anyone have suggestion for this?

I have the same problem,I just got my Ipad and try to get FCKeditor or CKeditor to work on an iPad,I hope to get some solutions

Hi ArthurFronz,

many thanks for reporting progress on this annoying issue, we really *are* glad to see at least partial editing support on Apple's side. Since this lies entirely in the hands of Apple, it really is the users' pressure that can make them implement the changes necessary for CKEditor to work in the WYSIWYG mode, with all its cool features and possibilities.

Thanks for your support and let's keep our fingers crossed for the complete WYSIWYG editing support in Apple products!

It seems Apple wouldn't implement contenteditable elements, will CKEditor support styled textarea so that it can run on Safari for iPad?
