Hola,

The FCK editor does not display using this theme in IE7, just a blank region where it should be; it works fine in Firefox though.

I'm using Drupal version 5.7

Any help much appreciated.

Quick update:

I've added the following line into the 'head' section of page.tpl.php

  <?php print $scripts; ?>

as suggested by the FCK troubleshooting guide and still no joy, I then used the page.tpl.php from a theme which works with FCK, and (ignoring the mad looking stylesheet) FCK still did not work, so I don't think the problem is in the page.tpl.php file.

Hi all,

I doubt the problem is a FCK problem. In my case I have the same setup: Drupal 5.x (10 in my case), ad Novus 1.6, FCK 2.6.3 and the corresponding module for enabling FCK.

I have tried FF, it then does work. If I am trying IE, it will not work. I think it is in one of the Javascripts or CSS exclusions which is not correctly terminated. Tried to figure that out with Firebug and Firebug lite, but it does not show up any problem.

I also looked into the drupal.fckeditor.net to see if there are any usefull hints, but they where implented allready.

The template looks good, but FCK is a must to work with it.

Please let me know the solutions for this.

I am having the exact same problem in Druapl 6.x and AD Novus 1.6, FCK 2.6.3.

Works in Firefox and not in IE.

PLEASE HELP!!! This is the only thing keeping me from launching my new non-profit website.

Me Too! I really like this theme, and already made a lot of customizations. I would hate to have to switch themes, because I cannot use FCKEditor in IE7.

I have verified that FCK works in Chrome, FF, IE6, Safari, and Opera... It seems it is ONLY IE7 that FCK isn't working!

You guys, I've been digging, and it seems that the CSS is causing the problems.

After taking out the Float:left; in:
#main {
margin: 0 235px 0 235px;
float:left;
border: 8px solid #e7f9fb;
padding: 8px;
background:#FFF;
}
FCK works in IE7 perfectly...but the layout is all weird. But at least we are getting somewhere

Just delete this part:
float:left;
And it works perfectly fine. Marvelous! To bad the lay-out will still be messed up. So try replacing it with
position: center;
This fixes it for IE, but now it's messed up in Firefox. :(

It appears that applying size of any sort to the #main element fixes this problem, though I couldn't tell you why. I fixed it (in IE and in Firefox) by adding to the IF IE check in page.tpl.php and applying a width of 800px to the #main region:

  <!--[if IE]>
  <style>
  #main {  width: 800px;}
  </style>
  <![endif]-->

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I was well into developing a site before I tried to install a WYSIWYG and came to have this issue. I thought my installation was the problem, but had the same problem with FCKEditor, TinyMCE, and Widgeditor. I can confirm that applying a width in IE does work. (Wish I'd checked the Ad Novus issue queue sooner.)

Instead at your code we have modified this portion of page.tph.php

if ($right);else echo "<style type=\"text/css\" media=\"all\">#main {margin-right:0; width: 800px;}</style>";
if ($left);else echo "<style type=\"text/css\" media=\"all\">#main {margin-left:0; width: 800px;}</style>";
if ($right);elseif($left);else echo "<style type=\"text/css\" media=\"all\">#main {margin:0; width: 800px;}</style>";

adding onlythis part
width: 800px;

I've tried with IE7, Chrome 1.0.154.48, FF 3.0.6 it's works :-)

I have tried both the fluid and fixed width versions of this theme on Drupal 6.10. I added the width suggestion above and FCKEditor works on IE7, but not on FF3 or Chrome. It works fine with Garland, so this is a theme issue.

Fixed except for one thing; the fckeditor window inherits the body background tag. This is a fckeditor bug that is still not fixed and hasn't been for years, so feel free to fix it yourself (theres plenty of information on the web for this), or use something like tinymce instead.
