CKEditor does not work in my IE?

**charmlt** · 23 Apr 2013, 04:53 AM

Dr.Byte,
Me too...Windows7Pro/IE10/Java:1.7.0_21
Dedicated Server: PHP 5.4.10
Zen Cart: v1.5.1 [2013-04-21 20:31:12
v3.7e - Updated CKEditor to v3.6.6. Compatible with ZC v1.3.9, v1.5.0, v1.5.1, v1.6.0

The "Plain Text" editor displays text.
CKEditor displays no text unless I click "Source" then I get plain text.
I did your fix to the latest CKEditor 4.1 and still get no working GUI box when in CKEditor.

Also, I upgraded Java last week, should I use the console and try to debug? Maybe there are variables in the upgrade that need flipped let me know. I want to help. - Mark

I spoke too soon, I reloaded my browser and now I get the same box with the same grayed out icons as dlt101.

Java has nothing whatsoever to do with this, Java is utterly different to javascript(which is what CKeditor uses a lot of) they are two completely different things, they should never have given them similar names. upgrading Java (a program provided by oracle to run Java applets and programs) will not have any effect on programs running javascript which are interpreted by the javascript engine built by your browsers maker in your case Microsoft,

Go to post number 4, does the sample version on the CKedito site run, what happens if you remove all the other jquery stuff, it could be a clash with something, how many other plugins or themes do you have on your site do any of them uses jquery etc

Have we got any further with this problem?

Anyone get this working correctly for the define pages editor?, From my brief read and the fact it seems to be fixable by setting IE to "compatibility view", people are/were saying its to do with the doc type being html rather than xhtml in admin, does that make sense.

I have it working using a hack, so you can try this at your own risk

in your favourite text editor open

admin/define_pages_editor.php

Find line 98 where it says

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

and change it to

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

and that seems to fix it for me, as usual there are no guarantees this will work for you, but it does for me

Edit----------------------------
If there is a better solution i would love to hear it,

Not sure if this helps, but yesterday someone told me all they had to do to get it working in IE was update the /editors/ckeditor files to a newer version ... in their case they used 4.1.2 ..... which I think is what's in the bundled version in the plugins area.
They said they were using version 3.something and IE was broken, but then they updated it to 4.1.2 and IE was working.
They were editing ez-pages, not define pages, but there's not much difference in how those pages are built in the admin, so both are probably affected similarly.

Hi Dr Byte

I had actually tried updating to the latest version first and still got the same issue, thats why I did the little hack i did.

Although if it is working for others (updating that is), then that would be the best option.

**nigelt74** · 21 Jul 2013, 03:48 AM

I take that back, just tried it out again and It seems to be working perfectly without the hack,

Thats weird because I updated ckEditor yesterday logged out cleard the browser cache, logged back in and it was still not working correctly.

Blasted web gremlins.

So, yep updating to the latest version from the ckEditor site fixes the issue. not hack needed.
