Question

I got this code to alter textareas to use TinyMCE as editor. It works fine in Firefox, but IE shows the simple textarea with the code in it. Can someone help me what to do?

  print('<script language=\'javascript\' type=\'text/javascript\' src=\'jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js\'></script>');     echo('<script type='text/javascript'>tinyMCE.init({   theme : 'advanced', mode : 'textareas',    plugins : 'safari,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,inlinepopups,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionality,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template',          theme_advanced_buttons1 : 'save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect',         theme_advanced_buttons2 : 'cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,cleanup,help,code,|,insertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor',         theme_advanced_buttons3 : 'tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen',         theme_advanced_buttons4 : 'insertlayer,moveforward,movebackward,absolute,|,styleprops,|,cite,abbr,acronym,del,ins,attribs,|,visualchars,nonbreaking,template,pagebreak',         theme_advanced_toolbar_location : 'top',         theme_advanced_toolbar_align : 'left',         theme_advanced_statusbar_location : 'bottom',         theme_advanced_resizing : 'true',    });</script>');   echo('</head>\n'); 

This is what IE says (code):

<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js'></script><script type='text/javascript'>tinyMCE.init({ theme : 'advanced', mode : 'textareas',    plugins : 'safari,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,inlinepopups,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionality,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template',          theme_advanced_buttons1 : 'save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect',         theme_advanced_buttons2 : 'cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,cleanup,help,code,|,insertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor',         theme_advanced_buttons3 : 'tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen',         theme_advanced_buttons4 : 'insertlayer,moveforward,movebackward,absolute,|,styleprops,|,cite,abbr,acronym,del,ins,attribs,|,visualchars,nonbreaking,template,pagebreak',         theme_advanced_toolbar_location : 'top',         theme_advanced_toolbar_align : 'left',         theme_advanced_statusbar_location : 'bottom',         theme_advanced_resizing : 'true',    });</script> 

The error in IE says that it’s expecting the identifactor, string, or integer on 17th row and 4th character.

Answer 1

You have an extra comma in your JSON – you’re not allowed a comma before the close-brace.

Change

theme_advanced_resizing : 'true', 

to

theme_advanced_resizing : 'true' 

and it should work
