This editor seems to be a bit better overall in my experience than tinymce. I reported tinymce problems here. Unlike tinymce, FCKeditor works in MSIE Windows and Japanese works automatically (without any separate installation headaches either). But unlike tinymce, FCKeditor doesn't auto-disable itself in Safari. Instead, it simply locks up the screen so you cannot see any icons or insert your text cursor in the field at all!
At least tinymce prevents itself from loading at all in Safari, but FCKeditor will prevent any of your Safari users from ever posting! I would certainly love to hear a simple fix for this as it would at least make the editor usable in Firefox and MSIE. Possible?
Just wondering if anyone has a solution to my problem with FCKeditor... When a user types away and has text in the box, then browses away (say by accident) and hits the back button all the text is gone.
Is there a way to put a check to warn the user when he/she browses away their text will be gone?
I just tried 2.4.1 and found it works fine in Firefox Mac and IE Windows (except for the slow icon loading in IE I mentioned before -- but that is a problem with the browser or FCKeditor, not MySchizoBuddy's code). I also reported here that I solved the Safari problem I was having. I just now need to set it up to work with Preview and I'll be all set. But then, after reading through this thread, it may be better to just kill Preview altogether.
Thanks for the kickass editor. The folks over at FB (www.chrisrue.com/funboard) are veddy veddy pleased with it.
I'm only seeing one issue (which may or may not have to do with FCKeditor). Basically, any link with a URL longer than 100 characters will not redirect at all. In fact, if you hover on such a link, the target URL doesn't show in the status bar (tested in IE7). However, if you Preview the post, all links work at expected. The URLs do embed correctly & are viewable in both source editing view & the link edit box after posting.
This is an issue for our folks for 2 reasons: - Links to MS download sites are never under 100 characters. - Links to the Funcave (www.chrisrue.com/funcave) are rarely under 100 characters either ;)
Thanks in advance to anybody who can shed a little light on this.
Thanks for the quick response. Not cosmetic. It's doesn't show anything at all for URLs over 100 characters. All 101+ char URLs don't work after saving the post.
Feel free to come visit FB (www.chrisrue.com/funboard). I've got a test post in the Funlab that shows the issue that you can check out if you'd like.

i installed this editor on my forum but the buttons are missing from the comments form. if I enter html it will take some, like font properties and sizes, but not tables bgcolor, etc. Could anyone give me any suggestions? thanks.
tables and other stuff have been disabled in it. u have to enable them urself
open up config.js Add this line right after the Autogrow line FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'tablecommands' ) ;
then add the buttons on the toolbar FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Vanilla"] = [ ['Source','-','NewPage','Preview','Undo','Redo'], ['Bold','Italic','Underline','StrikeThrough','-','Subscript','Superscript'], ['RemoveFormat','Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteWord'], ['Style','FontSize','TextColor'], ['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyFull'], ['OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Outdent','Indent'], ['Table','TableInsertRow','TableDeleteRows','TableInsertColumn','TableDeleteColumns','TableInsertCell','TableDeleteCells','TableMergeCells','TableSplitCell'], ['Link','Unlink','-','Smiley','SpecialChar','Image','-','Video','-','FitWindow' ] ] ; then open up settings.php and add this 'table' => array('class' => 1, 'id' => 1,'cellspacing'=>1, 'cellpadding'=>1,'width'=>1, 'height'=>1, 'summary'=>1, 'align'=>1, 'border' =>1), 'thead' => array('class' => 1, 'id' => 1), 'tbody' => array('class' => 1, 'id' => 1), 'tr' => array('class' => 1, 'id' => 1), 'td' => array('class' => 1, 'id' => 1), 'th' => array('class' => 1, 'id' => 1), and whatever else u require. remember u have to specicially tell it to allow it, So attributes that are not listed will be stripped away

Rolling back to 2.3 and having users clear their Cache seems to fix the problem.
