TinyMCE and Internet Explorer 11

[twwitt]

Has anyone else had problems with TinyMCE and Internet Explorer 11?

I have a problem that when trying to link to an exterior URL, or even a local document, the Insert/Edit Link dialog box will not "hold" a URL (i.e. after you type or paste it in, as soon as you press the Insert button, it disappears and the link is not established.

This doesn't happen in IE 10+, and doesn't happen with any other browser that I know of.

Anybody having that problem, and if so, is there a fix? If not, do we have to wait for another version of TinyMCE to use it in CMSMS?

Does Firefox or Chrome/Safari have the same problem..?

[twwitt]

No problems in Firefox or Safari that I know of.

Confirm: IE11 will not 'hold' the links.

F12 -> Emulation -> Mode -> Document mode: 10 makes it work. However don't know if that's the way to go.

[Dr.CSS]

Sorry to say at this point it might be best to use the IE10 mode or a different browser, not so sure any Devs have IE11 and IE support has always been spotty at best...

I've read elsewhere (outside of cmsms) that TinyMCE 3.5.11 fixes some IE11 issues. Any chance that this upgrade will soon make it to CMSMS?

I understand if not, but just seems unfortunate to have to warn clients NOT to use the latest version of IE.

I have same Problems with ie11 and TinyMCE
2.9.12 (which is the latest Version offered in the Forge).

No links can be set in ie.
TinyMCE 3.x is not available.

Thanx 4 solution

TinyMCE 3.x is not available.

Think you misunderstood something.

TinyMCE module is NOT TinyMCE.

Module make it only possible to use the TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor from TinyMCE.com.

And the suggestion means to replace tinymce folder inside module folder (/jscript/tinymce) with TinyMCE 3.x from TinyMCE.com.

Thx Chandra.
But i believe it's better to stay with the modules offered by cmsms forge in order not to get other trouble when installing a module from other sources.

Thx

A client is having this very problem. I will suggest velden's emulation solution for now.

It looks like the TinyMCE guys know about this issue and they fixed it in TinyMCE 3.5.9:
http://tracker.modx.com/issues/10273

However the TinyMCE CMSMS Module (currently at version 2.9.12) contains TinyMCE 3.5.8.

Latest version of TinyMCE (3.x) is 3.5.10:
http://www.tinymce.com/download/download.php

So the proper solution, I think, is to wait for the TinyMCE CMSMS Module to be updated with a later TinyMCE.

[edit...]
In fact there is a bug already open for this:

Another client has now come across this problem. As the months go by it's going to become more and more of an issue.

[zaidcrowe]

a short term fix might be to mod the header template for the cms and force it to render as ie10 using the X-UA-Compatible meta tag? you could maybe duplicate the theme and apply this to "stay safe"

http://webdesign.about.com/od/metatagli ... ta-tag.htm

I'm not sure if this is still supported by ie11 but maybe worth a try?

[zaidcrowe]

it looks like you could also set this via htaccess / server config for the admin folder if you really don't wanna mess with admin templates - hopefully, that helps!

Thanks for the suggestions zaidcrowe. I already gave client velden's workaround but will keep your idea in mind for next time.
