Getting CKEditor to work in the Windows 8 webview

[Anna Tomanek]

Reported on the ​community forum:

When accessing CKEditor from within a webview in a Windows 8 app, the editor fails to load completely. With some assistance from an MS Evangelist, we tracked down the issue and I thought I'd post the fix here for posterity:

In the Web Control (and not in IE 10 or anywhere else), the document.domain property is URL-encoded, turning "test.package" into "test%2package"... Consequently, the check "document.domain == window.location.hostname" fails and editor and controls end up in different origins.

To work around this issue, open ckeditor.js, search for "var a=document.domain" and change it into "var a=unescape(document.domain)".

I should add that that this problem only occurs if there's a period in the package name of the app.

@tempy is there any chance you could provide reduced sample application showing this problem? I can see solution but it would be nice if you could show us working code that is causing problems first :)

I have tried looking for code like var a=document.domain or document.domain == window.location.hostname. We have something similar in env.js file but it isn't the same. Could you explain exactly what file(s) have you changed in CKEditor so that other users could know?
