FCKeditor and FireFox
December 18th, 2006
A few people have said they have been having problems with the text area not appearing in Firefox. This isn’t a problem I have had but for those of you who have, thanks to James Penny there is a solution…..
Simply add something like :width => ‘400’, :height => ‘200’ to the fckeditor_textarea call and you should get the editor appearing as expected. Obviously you can change the dimensions to suite your needs.
The solution also explains why I never saw the issue – I have always had the dimensions specified…...
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi Scott, Adding the :width and :height attributes doesn't solve the problem for me. However, the hack of removing all 'Style' entries in all FCKConfig.ToolbarSets[] mentioned by one of the commenter (sorry for forgetting the name) does solve my problem.

November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM The problem is not actually in width/height. I had the same problem, spent some googling here and there, and finally discovered, that Mongrel/Webrick gives XML-files with a wrong content-type. Fixing content type _and clearing browser cache_ would definitely give it's positive results. To do so go to your application's config directory, create a file (i.e. additional_mime.xml) with content like: .xml: text/xml And then stop and start your mongrel again, but with a command like mongrel_rails start -m config/additional_mime.xml But do not forget to clear browser cache if this doesn't work. It could save you another half an hour :D
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi Fester, thanks for outlining that solution, hopefully between these 3 tips everyones issues should be solved. Cheers Scott.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM Hi Fester, I have the same problem here but theoretically my Apache server is serving the xml files right? I even tested stopping my mongrel instances and I was able to get the xml file, this confirmed that Apache was serving the xml requests... So I think it should be another problem yet... :(
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM I appear to be having the same symptoms but it looks like the problem is different. It displays fine in Firefox but in IE there is a JavaScript error reported. Line: 73 Char: 4212 Error: 'length' is null or not an object Code: 0 URL: http://localhost:3006/javascripts/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=entry_1_body_editor&Toolbar=Simple I have checked the JavaScripts but cannot find any obvious problems.
November 25th, 2007 at 11:18 PM hi where can i find it this call 'fckeditor_textarea' which file is it in? ASP.net? cheers
