tiny_mce - work in Firefox, not in IE9 - any ideas?

Post by simonmlewis »

We have been using tiny_mce for several years, without fault, but lately in IE9, sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't and you just get a box with HTML in it, rather than the formatted version.

I don't know if this is a PHP issue or not.

When I run it on one page, it's fine, but then on my Edit Product page, it fails. If I strip everything back and just have the query calling the product, and 'only' the description <textarea> box on screen, even that fails in IE9. But not in Firefox.

Yet - the same tiny_mce folder is on another local site, with a full edit page, and it works. Same code on my page.

I wondered if this is a common IE9 problem that others have faced. I do have to set it so only one <textarea> uses it, but again, this works on the other site.

EDIT: This seems to be an very well known issue in IE9 only, as Firefox is fine. Is there a fix for IE9 ??

It's only breaking on a single page or it's just not working for IE9 at all? Have you check the browser's error console log to see if it's throwing any kind of errors?

I generally doesn't work at all. There are no errors. It just shows up a standard box with the HTML. No missing button boxes. It's astho the script isn't there at all.

Do you have a class on the textarea? Are you running any other javascript on the page that could be conflicting with it? Are you using the jquery version? Are you instantiating the boxes on document ready or are you instantiating them later using javascript? I haven't had any problems with tiny mce in IE9 so my guess would be it's a coding issue. Can you post the code you're using?
