Ok, I have CE in a div tag that comes up invisible. Then say I show CE after the user clicks a button. In firefox, CE is now disabled and I cannot type anything in it.  Example code:

 
<input type="button" value="test" onclick="document.getElementById ('divTEST').style.display = '';">
<div id="divTEST" style="DISPLAY:none">
 <CE:Editor id="txtTest" runat="server" width="100%" Height="400px" ShowHtmlMode="False"></CE:Editor>
</div>

 

In Firefox 1.0.6 CE is disabled, and there are a bunch of JavaScript errors in the JavaScript console such as

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument.designMode]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://localhost/Kaneva/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/CuteEditor_Gecko.js.aspx?settinghash=1a00761b :: CuteEditor_Gecko_Initialize :: line 11"  data: no]

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument.designMode]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://localhost/Kaneva/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/CuteEditor_Gecko.js.aspx?settinghash=c9b399e9 :: CuteEditor_Gecko_Initialize :: line 11"  data: no]

  
Is there a known issue with this or a fix available?

Jaosn,

 

Please use the following code:

 

Thank you for the sample code. I thought you might suggest that solution with the example I gave. What I am actually try to do is show status text when the page is rendering (pre form onload) or on a postback from a dropdown or checkbox that tells the user the page is rendering, loading, refreshing, etc. 

Your solution will work for me but I have to put in a lot of special handling in just for cute editor, I could not find a way to get it to come up correctly in a hidden div tag (My ideal solution to keep code at the minimal).  So, instead of one div tag, I have to spilt it up into multiple div tags before and after all my cute editors, and put special javascript on every postback javascript click to hide cuteeditor. If I come up with a more elegant solution I will post the results here.

 
Thanks for the help,

Jason

I have same problem.  No idea how to fix.

I have the same issue with Firefox 3.0.2 and CuteEditor 6.2. I cannot data enter and when I click on the bold button, for instance, I get:  Command 'Bold' Error : Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument.execCommand].

I understand the suggested workaround in the div styling rather than setting visible to true/false as in below:

 

 

but making this change will not be so simple in my application.  My cuteEditor elements are embedded in usercontrols within a framework and are hidden at the level of a parent of a parent of a parent element

 

I have no issue in any other browser.  Are there any other suggested workarounds?
