text area not functional in IE [#909430]

Hello -

This is a great module, big relief.

I read in the documentation some problems may be fixed by using different browsers.

This form has two text areas. After arranging, they appear to not be editable in Internet Explorer. I checked and in Mozilla Firefox the areas do appear to be editable.

Text fields do appear editable, so I could simply change to them, or try plain text editor, which may also be the problem.

Just curious if this is a common problem. I did not see a prior issue.

Thanks so much for this module. It makes form presentation much more efficient. Have been waiting for a bug in the current jqueryui to be fixed which apparently is fixed.

Hmm. No, I don't think anything like this has been reported yet. I see you are using CKeditor. We did have some problems with FCKeditor a while back; it's possible this is akin to it. Does this problem still exist when you disable CKeditor for this form?

Also-- a huge "gotcha" that someone found in this issue: #859532: Webform using Arrange Fields displays in other browsers but not IE8 (look at comment #8) is that IE actually has a restriction on the number of CSS files it will load (30 - 32, depending on version). Since this works for you in other browsers, but not IE, I wonder if that could also be a factor. If it is, there are luckily modules mentioned in that issue which let you get around the problem.

Try disabling CKeditor and see if the problem fixes itself. If it does, that can mean one of two things: either (1) Arrange Fields has a problem with CKeditor, or (2) that you are hitting the IE CSS file limit. On a side note, isn't it nice of IE to not even tell you when you've reached the limit? You'd think they could give you an alert or a warning or something.

Thanks for your quick response.

Turning off CKeditor does fix it!

One other problem I have with IE is whenever I save a View it times out to a blank screen, other browsers don't have that problem. When in doubt, change browsers.

Thanks for your quick response.

Form looks much better with a little configuration.

Cool, I'm glad you got it working again.

Yeah, I am leaning heavily towards the theory that you've reached the IE CSS limit. You might try out http://drupal.org/project/unlimited_css or a similiar module, then re-enable CKeditor and see if it works.

Glad you like the module!
