Color selector disabled ActiveX error

Reply Quote

On our networks all activeX ctrls are disabled for IE which includes the XMLHTTP thingy.

You fixed a previous error thanks.... but i have found another unfortunately.

Basically if i click properties and then a color selector box e.g. Table - General Tab - Color

I get an automation server cant create object error

function window_onerror

function CreateXMLHttpRequest

function SelectColor

function inp_forecolor_onclick

Any chance you can fix please......

I would have thought by now that you would assume i have tried it on your demo page.

Perhaps i should have stated in my message that I had!!!

And yep have just tried it and yes it does give me an error when activeX is disabled even in IE7. Unfortunately 50000 of our users are stuck on a network using IE5.5 and ActiveX disabled!

Let me know if you can recreate and if you will be fixing.....

thanks

On Vista IE7, when disable browser's native XMLHTTP, color picker in v6.1 no longer runs. However old v6.0 doesn't get impact from this option. Customer's PCs have to have this option disabled. They are asking to bring back the old 6.0 color picker into v6.1 to serve as an option for clients who do not have Ajax ability by default.

Communicating with support to see if bring back is feasible and timeline

Could we have an option on the editor to enable/disable ajax on the editor?

Or can you just ensure that where you use ajax, you have fallback code if it cannot create the XMLHTTP object.

One of our main reasons for choosing this editor was because it didnt use ActiveX ctrls.

Anyway if you can let us know what is going to be done about this problem that would be great.

Had a look at the code and all you are using AJAX for is to load a code file and execute it!

I guess you are doing it this way to cut down on the amount of js files that need to be loaded at the start.

I have uploaded a zip file with dialoghead.js and ieimplementaion.js changed. Its pretty obvious the code i have changed cos its readable (ie not obfusicated)!

This code attempts to use AJAX but if it cant then it attaches the code to the document using a script tag. This in effect downloads and runs the code without needing XMLHTTP. Altho With XMLHTTP its easy to detect if the code fails to download, with this script method you have to do a little bit of polling.

Anyway I have attached the code, let me know what you think.......

Can it be added to your code base?

Or do you have a better alternative?
