Web Dialog causing script error

Reply Quote

When I open Cute Editor in a modal browser window as appose to a non-modal browser window, none of the standard popup dialogs work...

Scenario

1. The main application in which Cute Editor sits is a normal browser window where Cute Editor works fine
2. The user wants to send an email using my application and clicks 'Send Email'
3. My application opens a new modal popup window using window.showModalDialog(); javascript function
4. The Cute Editor is in this new popup window and allows the user to create an HTML message
5. When the user clicks the 'Insert Image' button on the Cute Editor toolbar, it errors with:

Line: 1

Char: 4694

Error: 'obj' is null or not an object

Has anyone else either encountered or resolved this issue?

Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback, however the issue is not in creating custom dialogs from the editor but in running the Cute Editor within a Web Dialog or modal browser popup window.

If you create a new page called editor.asp that has the Cute Editor embedded in it and then open editor.asp from a parent.asp page with a BLOCKED SCRIPTwindow.showModalDialog("editor.asp"); command, you will see that the Cute Editor appears in the new popup window fine but when you click on one of the standard toolbar buttons that displays a further dialog such as Insert Image, it fails with a script error.

Thanks,

Thanks for the example Adam, however this uses the window.open() function as appose to the window.showModalDialog() function and it is the window.showModalDialog(); function that is causing the problem.

If you change the code in your example code above you will be able to recreate my problem.

Thanks,

window.showModalDialog() is an IE only method.

Can you set Editor.UseStandardDialog property to true and try the standard dialog?
