fckEditor and browser issues - OK on IE7 not on FF3, Safari, Chrome 

Hello,

I have some issues using fckEditor, they seem to be browser specific.  My user control (form) has a several text boxes, etc. at the top with the fckEditor control anchored right below them.

  • IE7 - surprise!  No Problems.  Everything works great.   I would have thought that IE would be the most problem.
  • FF3 - the fckEditor works fine, however the controls on the panel above it (such as textboxes, labels, anything) do not show.
  • Safari, Chrome - The controls above the editor control appear, but the fckEditor control does not appear.

OK, I give up, it must be browser specific (works in one and not others).  Palii, I downloaded the Catalog example to be sure I picked up the same fck resources you tested with, but I cannot find the fckEditor folder in the catalog example.  I think I downloaded the resources from the fckEditor site on SourceForge.

I would like to try over from scratch.  What do I need to download and from where (I did get the dll from the Gizmox website so I thing it is wrapped correctly).

At this point, I just tell my users to use the IE7 browser (it has its own problems with 6.4 p2).   I realize you will probably want a sample application (and I do understand why you would ask for that), but it might be a little slow in coming because this low on our priority chain (since it works OK with IE).  We just don't want to say that our Gizmox application works only with IE and not other browsers.

Best to you, regards  Kenn

Re: fckEditor and browser issues - OK on IE7 not on FF3, Safari, Chrome 

Hi Kenn,

I retested on 6.4.0P2 for you just now (allready tested before on 6.4.0P3).

When I do tests like this, I always try to keep the FCKeditor folder within my project in the same version as the SDK I'm working with, so I obtain the folder from that version. I just assumed that the FCKeditor folder would be within the Catalog source download, but as you say it is not, you will have to obtain it from SVN. For getting the SVN sources, check here. You would not be obtaining the trunk version (the current being-worked-on version in SVN, as that would be P3, but I also tested this, that P3 version of FCKeditor folder works fine in P2 too).

In the SVN checkout, locate the FCKeditor folder and copy the contents to your virtual folder, so that you have the structure Yourapp\FCKeditor and Yourapp\FCKeditor\editor.

Now on your form, drop a FCKEditor from the toolbox to the form. Note the BasePath property. It should include 6 sets of "..\". In my case it only contained 5 so it didn't work, and I had to add the 6th.

Register your FCKEditor control in web.config, in my case it was:

 

      <Control Type="Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Editors.FCKEditor, 
               Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Extended, 
               Version=3.0.5701.0, 
               Culture=neutral, 
               PublicKeyToken=85eae29607c9f5f3" />

And that should be it. I tested on IE8, FF3.5 and Chrome, and I didn't see any immediate problem. Didn't test much though, just made sure it did show up runtime.

Please let me know if any steps are unsure ...

Hope it helps,

Palli
