Javascript error when selecting font size in IE8

[Brian Adle]

I can reproduce this on the demo page: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/editor.  Steps to reproduce are:

1. Delete all content from the editor.
2. Click in the editor, type some text
3. Click on the font size and change the font size.
4. JS Error: Line: 1
Error: Invalid argument.

I've run a test app locally and the error comes down to the line of code in telerik.editor.min.js "a2.moveToElementText(a7)"  a2 is object with two values which equal the text that as already been written and A7 has an outer html = "<A></A>"

This is consistent and repeatable for me.

Hello Brian,

What browser are you using? I could not reproduce the problem in Firefox, nor IE9 (standards and compatibility view).

Check the title of the bug. "IE8"

The trick seems to be that your cursor needs to be at the end of the entered text in the text area and then change font.

Hi Brian Adle,

 I managed to reproduce the reported bug. I am sending you a hotfix build which resolves it.

 I also updated your Telerik points.

This latest code you've sent me has broken a feature I've been using for several versions.  I was previously able to create a Telerik Window in JS and assign it HTML and a contentURL and it would display the HTML while the contentURL loaded.  This allowed me to get a faux loading message.  Is there a work around for this?  I have some windows that take 4-5 seconds to load and having now feedback for the user is a bad experience.

Hello Brian Adle,

 This is not a known issue. Could you send me the code which you are using so we can debug it ? We fixed a problem with contentUrl and the fix may have broken your scenario.

createDialog: function (contentUrl, name, height, width, modal, onCloseFunction) {

 

        if (!jQuery.isFunction(onCloseFunction)) { onCloseFunction = function () { }; }

 

        var html = '<div class=" ZoneDefaultText " style="width:' + width + 'px; text-align:center; ">Loading ' + name + '...<br /><img src="images/loading.gif" height="20px" alt="" /></div>'

        var window = $.telerik.window.create({

            title: name,

            html: html,

            contentUrl: contentUrl,

            modal: modal,

            resizable: false,

            draggable: true,

            height: height,

            width: width,

            onClose: onCloseFunction

        });

        return window

    },

There's some App specific code in here but I think you can get the basic idea of what we were doing.

Hello Brian Adle,

Thank you for reporting this -- it seems that this was a regression due to a bug fix (when contentUrl is a remote URL, the window displays an iframe). It is now fixed and your scenario is backed by a unit test -- the attached build contains the fix.

Kind regards,

This is getting comical... The 407 build fixes the window issue but the editor JS error is back that was fixed in 405.

Hello Brian Adle,

It seems that this is a timing issue and depends on how fast you perform the steps. The attached build addresses this.
