I officially hate IE 8! CKEditor

[youradds]

Hi,

Man, what missions I've had with IE 8 today! (with this, and also loads of other design stuff I've been doing today)

Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?

http://ultradev.com.nmsrv.com/cgi-bin/gforum2/gforum.cgi

(user: ultranerds, pass: ultranerds)

You will see that it seem to "leave" the box in place - even when it shouldn't (i.e the new WYSIWYG shows, but the old box still shows). Please see attachment.

This works perfectly in FF.

The other issue (which may be related to the "duplicate" box), is that NONE of the conntet is semeign to be passed along to my script :/ (so they fill out the WYSIWYG editor, and click "preview" - but nothing is sent)

Any suggestions? Maybe a known IE 8 bug? M$ should have their arse kicked for this pile of rubbish browser

TIA!

Andy

Andy,

Sorry I can't help with an answer, but I just checked with IE6 and the textarea is visible. The problem you're experiencing is with IE and not just IE8.

Wish I could help,
Larry

Hi youradds,

I just went to your link and logged in and it worked fine in FF and IE.

I guess it's because you fixed it? If so, I'd like to know what the problem was so i can avoid it in the future.

As a developer, I'd like it to stay around, because cross-browser expertise keeps me in well-paid contracts. You might find it a headache, but knowing a lot of cross-browser stuff separates the men from the boys, so to speak

Using IE 7.0 and I don't see any problems.

Hi,

I finally managed to find the issue. For some reason, there was a "hidden" field also called the same thing - so what I think was happening, was that hidden field was being converted - and then the other textarea (which it was meant to be using), was being ignore - and just left)

I've posted my finding on the ckeditor support forums too, just in case anyone else looses as much hair over it as me

Chers
