Conflict with IE8?

[claudz]

Hi Telerik.

We are using MOSS 2007 and have RadEditor version 4.5.0.0 installed.

Does this version of RadEditor have any conflicts with IE8? We installed IE8 last week and since then there have been the following issues with the RadEditor:

1. When inserting an image, the image does not insert within the embedded RadEditor Control (or web part) as it should. Instead the image appears in a blank area at the very top of the browser window, above the web site. Please see the attached image as an example.
2. Also, font styles from the CssEditor.css file are not being applied correctly. We have a normal font style which has a font-size of 9pt. We also have styles to change the text to bold, blue, green and red. Each of those styles have a font-size of 9pt. In IE6, if I chose the style "blue" for instance, the text would change to the colour blue and remain the same font-size. Now though, after IE8 has been installed, the colour correctly changes to blue, but the font-size increases. Would there be a reason as to why RadEditor is now not applying the correct font-size? Are there any updates that need to be applied to RadEditor? Please see the attached image as an example.

Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Claudz

Hi Telerik

Just a couple more things regarding this issue that you should probably know about:

• The Image problem only happens when using MOSS Image Manager (but not the RadEditor's Image Manager).
• We use Windows XP.

Thanks,

Please ignore issue 2. This is now working.

For some reason IE8 adds "size="+0"" to the css after the class is applied.
e.g. <font class="blue" size="+0">

Issue 1 is still a problem.

Hi Claudz,

RadEditor for MOSS version 4.5.0.0 is not compatible with IE8. This version of the control is released long before Internet Explorer 8. What I suggest you to do is upgrade to the latest version of RadEditor for MOSS, which now is 5.8.0. You can find the upgrade instructions in the following online help article:  Upgrade Instructions from version 4.x to version 5.x.
