editor works only in IE8 compatibility mode

[Peter]

hi,

i am using a RadEditor in a Multipage with Tab control, located in a radwindow.
in IE8 there is a strange behaviour, that when you are typing, the cursor jumps to the first position of the editor and no text is displayed. when you switch to another tab, after switching back to the editor, the typed text is displayed.
it works properly in compatibility mode and in firefox.
there is a workaround, using a

<

 

meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />  tag on the page, but thats not really an acceptable solution.

thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Peter,

It is possible that you use an older version of RadEditor that is released before the official IE8 release.
Please ensure that you use the the latest available version 2009.3 1314 of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q3 SP2 2009.

If you still experience this problem with the latest version, please, open a support ticket and send a sample working project that demonstrates it. I will examine the project and do my best to provide a solution.

All the best,
Rumen

I know this is an extremely old thread, but I ran into the same issue using Q1 2011 Rad Editor with IE8  The Rad Edtior was disabled / could not type in it, until I switched to HTML or preview mode then back to design mode.

Found out that having the following in my global CSS file was breaking the Rad Editor.

body {
position: relative !important;
}

Once that was removed, the Rad Editor worked correctly.
