What bug?

We reported a bunch of bugs the day after release. It's things Microsoft needs to fix since they are clear regressions. Don't use that beta unless for testing.

Yes, that is quite stupid. Not much we can do about it though since basic things like caching doesn't work correctly on IE 9. So it's basically useless in it's current state. We might release a patched version if Microsoft doesn't resolve some of the bugs but some of them must be fixed by them and our hands are tied.

Yes, there are a lot more issues. I started working on some of them yesterday things like onload doesn't fire correctly, CSS clip attribute isn't working, the browser crashes when it executes the unit tests other unit tests fails since it returns the wrong output, missing range methods that are available in other browsers. So I guess it will be a lot more issues if we ever get it working on the beta. But before I manage to fix all those issues M$ might have releases their beta 2 and resolved many of the issues so then it would just have been a waste of time.

But we might release a minor bug fix release if we manage to work around the most serious issues.

Hey Spocke. Yah, a few strange issues with TinyMCE in IE9. I'm sure you are aware, but thought I'd throw my finds into the mix.

First off, all CSS loads as it should.  All font and style formatting functions seem to work as expected. I can type in the editor and move existing images around as I always have.  So, not a whole lot of issues from what I can see.

However, I did find a couple of biggies (note that I have not made a single alteration to your tiny_mce.js file and it is the most current version)...

********************************************************************************************************************************

Issue #1

--- Advanced Mode and Simple Mode Issue ---

When TinyMCE first tries to load in IE9, it visually loads all the icons and renders my CSS, but then throws up the follow error (5 times in a row) that says (in Microsoft's typical cryptic error format)

Object doesn't support this property or method
tiny_mce.js
Line: 1
Char: 20815
********************************************************************************************************************************
********************************************************************************************************************************
Issue #2

--- Advanced Mode ONLY Issue ---

If an icon I click on in the tool bar of the TinyMCE editor requires a popup it won't launch and references the same Char: 20815 error, but only once.  The outline of the popup is there along with the close button, but the contents of the popup don't load.

********************************************************************************************************************************
********************************************************************************************************************************
Issue #3

--- Simple Mode ONLY Issue ---

When I first try to type in the TinyMCE editor textarea the cursor won't appear unless I click on the first line of the editor window.  If I click below where the cursor should start blinking the upper left-hand corner, nothing happens. But if I click to the right of it, then it works and I can start typing.  And then if you click below where it's blinking the cursor disappears again.

********************************************************************************************************************************
********************************************************************************************************************************
Issue #4

--- Simple Mode ONLY Issue ---

When I get passed Issue #3 and start to type a character, an error popup appears referencing tiny_mce.js again, but this type Char: 151153. I close the error window and type another character and it pops up again.  The same error reference also appears if I try to highlight anything and if I click on any of the lower icons.

Alright. That's all I could find for now.  Hope this is helpful.

@CF_freak: Please re-test using the latest version.
@fabriceOb: If you manage to pinpoint the issue let me know. Might need to report it to M$.

TinyMCE has never had any support for putting the caret at a position that doesn't exist. However IE9 have an issue where it's possible to select the HTML element. So I just added a fix for that to the GitHub version.

Hey Spocke, any chance I might find a list of what files were changed. I've made a few modifications to some of the source throughout the previous version and if it's just the tiny_mce.js that was updated, that would be great to know.

Thanks.

I just tried 3.3.9.2 and I'm still having some problems with IE9 beta (in IE9 browser more and standards document mode).  I'm using the bbcode example from http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/example_09.php, only I'm using the jquery TinyMCE version.  The editor renders fine, but there's no carat.  I can only get the carat after I click one of the formatting buttons, like the bold button.

Won't be fixing this one since it's a regression in behavior on IE 9 and it has been reported. It's now producing DIV as it's default block type instead of P. And that seems to make the caret stick to that line some how.

Upgrade the latest 3.4 or 3.3 versions both work perfectly fine with IE 9.

Upgrade and it will work. We have no issues with IE9 3.3.9.3 and 3.4 both work fine on IE 9 and all unit tests are passing.
