CKEditor: Cursor Not Showing and other editor issues

I am having an issue when I switch to the CKEditor. When I click in the text area, no cursor shows up, so it appears that it is not active. Anyone else having this issue? It's possible I'm missing some CSS link for CKEditor or something.

Also, I can't seem to find the config file for CKEditor that would match the config file for TinyMCE. Is there one and if so, where is it located?

When I use TinyMCE and try to edit existing content, it turns it into a text block that is easily erased.

FCKEditor has worked the best for me but I know it's going away so I just want to hear about the best ways to upgrade.

Re: CKEditor: Cursor Not Showing and other editor issues

Hi David,

I have no immediate plans to remove FCKeditor based on the feedback of several who still prefer it. I still think in the long run that CKeditor will emerge as the best choice but it does still have a few issues.

I am using CKeditor on this site and have never seen any issue with the cursor, is it happening in all browsers or just a specific one? I would try re-uploading all the CKeditor files and make sure your Web.config is using the latest version that shipped with mojoPortal.

When I use TinyMCE and try to edit existing content, it turns it into a text block that is easily erased.

I'm not clear what you mean but again I would try uploading all the TinyMCE files again and make sure you are using the latest version in Web.config.

Each of the editors has different configuration solutions based on what the editor provides.

Re: CKEditor: Cursor Not Showing and other editor issues

Hey Joe, I've noticed a disappearing cursor issue in this very forum (I'm using Firefox 3.6x). You can reproduce easily by pasting some text directly into the editor window with ctrl-V. Once you do that, the cursor goes away. I can get the cursor back by changing focus away from the editor window and then back to it (e.g. by checking the Subscribe checkbox, then back in the editor).

Re: CKEditor: Cursor Not Showing and other editor issues

I can't seem to replicate this missing cursor issue. I wonder if it could be a browser plugin or toolbar or something. The only Firefox plugins I use are Firebug, YSlow, and NoScript.

Best,

Joe
