TinyMCE is glitchy in IE8
- by Force Flow
I'm using the jQuery version of TinyMCE 3.3.9.3
In firefox, it works fine (10 sec video depicting it in use): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrAE0igfT3I
In IE8 (in IE8 standards mode), I can't type or click any buttons. However, if I use ctrl+v to paste, then I can start typing, but the buttons still don't work (a 45 sec video depicting it in use): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBSRlE8D8F4
The jQuery TinyMCE demo on TinyMCE's site works for me in IE8.
Here's the init code:
$().ready(function(){
function tinymce_focus(){
$('.defaultSkin table.mceLayout').css({'border-color' : '#6478D7'});
$('.defaultSkin table.mceLayout tr.mceFirst td').css({'border-top-color' : '#6478D7'});
$('.defaultSkin table.mceLayout tr.mceLast td').css({'border-bottom-color' : '#6478D7'});
}
function tinymce_blur(){
$('.defaultSkin table.mceLayout').css({'border-color' : '#93a6e1'});
$('.defaultSkin table.mceLayout tr.mceFirst td').css({'border-top-color' : '#93a6e1'});
$('.defaultSkin table.mceLayout tr.mceLast td').css({'border-bottom-color' : '#93a6e1'});
}
$('textarea.tinymce').tinymce({
script_url : 'JS/tinymce/tiny_mce.js',
theme : "advanced",
mode : "exact",
theme : "advanced",
invalid_elements : "b,i,iframe,font,input,textarea,select,button,form,fieldset,legend,script,noscript,object,embed,table,img,a,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6",
//theme options
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,selectall,|,undo,redo,|,cleanup,removeformat,|",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "bold,italic,underline,|,bullist,numlist,|,forecolor,backcolor,|",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons4 : "",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "none",
theme_advanced_resizing : false,
//plugins
plugins : "inlinepopups,paste",
dialog_type : "modal",
paste_auto_cleanup_on_paste : true,
setup: function(ed){
ed.onInit.add(function(ed){
//check for addEventListener -- primarily supported by firefox only
var edDoc = ed.getDoc();
if ("addEventListener" in edDoc){
edDoc.addEventListener("focus", function(){
tinymce_focus();
}, false);
edDoc.addEventListener("blur", function(){
tinymce_blur();
}, false);
}
});
}
});
});
Any ideas as to why it's not working in IE8?
