I’ve set up Textpattern’s hak_tinymce plugin on a website I run, and it works

  • 0

I’ve set up Textpattern’s hak_tinymce plugin on a website I run, and it works great in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. However, in IE the content area is gray (e.g. it just isn’t there), and the Javascript fails with this error:

Webpage error details  User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0;      SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729;      Media Center PC 6.0) Timestamp: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 11:35:09 UTC  Message: Invalid argument. Line: 510 Char: 2 Code: 0 URI: http://www.example.com/textpattern/tinymce/tiny_mce.js

Firebug gives no errors.

I am using a non-obfuscated version of tiny_mce.js, revision 1.158:

// Must have a src element in MSIE HTTPs breaks aswell as absoute URLs if (tinyMCE.isMSIE)     iframe.setAttribute('src', this.settings['default_document']);  iframe.style.width = tinyMCE.settings['area_width']; iframe.style.height = tinyMCE.settings['area_height']; // ** THIS LINE! **  // MSIE 5.0 issue if (tinyMCE.isMSIE)     replace_element.outerHTML = iframe.outerHTML; else     replace_element.parentNode.replaceChild(iframe, replace_element);

I have no idea what this is. The only explanation I could find online, indicates that this is related to not using the www-prefix in the URL used to access the editor, but it does not seem to matter.

How do I solve this?

  1. The answer turned out to be a bug in hak_tinymce, not in tinyMCE itself. hak_tinymce specifies the height of the text area in a Javascript array using quotes around the value, like this:

    somesetting: 'somevalue', height:'420',

    When tinyMCE tries to do arithmetic on the height value, it somehow turns into a string, when it should have been treated as an integer. The script debugger revealed the height being set to ‘420-42’, I did not figure out how.

    However, in hak_tinymce, adding the following between line 276 and 277 works:

    EOF; $js = preg_replace('/height:\'(\d+)\'/i', 'height:$1', $js); // added line return $js;

    This fixes the problem both for the body and excerpt textareas.
