r.a.d. control for MCMS 2002 - question

[Mike]

hi all, we use r.a.d. editor for our MCMS 2002.  We have a person at my company that the RADControl won't display for his Internet Explorer 8 browser.  I run IE8 and it displays for everyone else fine except for this one person.  I checked his INternet Explorer Security Settings and match it to my and it is fine.  I cannot pinpoint why the control won't render on his browser when it renders fine on my. 

I know this particular control is out of support and MCMS 2002 is very very old....I thought I would throw the question out there to anyone that might have an idea or a place where I can look to get the RADControl to render on his web browser.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Mike,

Indeed, we no longer support RadEditor for MCMS. The RadEditorPlaceholderControl's development is discontinued since the end of 2007. Since r.a.d.editor for MCMS 2002 is released years before the official release of IE8, the editor does not support this modern browser.

The only thing that I could suggest is putting the following tag in the head tag of the page with the editor:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

The "X-UA-Compatible" meta tag renders the page in Internet Explorer 8 as in IE7 Standards mode. You can find more information in this articles: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/06/10/introducing-ie-emulateie7.aspx
and http://www.cherny.com/webdev/103/the-ie-8-x-ua-compatible-meta-tag.

Hello,

RadEditor for MCMS 2002 is based on RadEditor Classic, the latest build of which is released in 2009. Since the development of RadEditor Classic is discontinued in that year, it does not offer support for the modern browsers which support CSS3 and HTML5.

The only editor which supports the modern browsers and mobile/touch devices is RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX, but it does not support MCMS, because we discontinued our development for MCMS in 2007.

Hi Rumen. did the last (2009) version of Telerik controls for mcms2002 work in IE8 which was also released in 2009? This'd be HUGE forus if it did. Thanks!!! ... Chris

Rumen is there any way of getting the source code for the old RadEditor for mcms2002 so we can modify it to support css3/html5. Thanks ... Chris

Hello,

The latest build of RadEditor for MCMS (Premium) is 7.3.4. It is built on 8/14/2008, which means that it does not support IE8.

Is it possible to add a meta tag in your MCMS pages so that the page is rendered in IE7 mode, this would be much easier than fixing the problem in the source code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />?

Your company has bought a license for RadControls, so if you would like to obtain the source code of RadEditor for MCMS (RadEditor_PremiumPlaceholder_7_3_4_Source.zip), please, open a support ticket and request it. Note that we do not provide support for MCMS as well as source code modifications.

Best regards,
