[IE] InsertHtml doesn't insert nodes at the cursor position when foucs is lost

[matan_a]

In IE6/7, when I use InsertHTML from outside the FCKEditor, meaning it is not in focus, it always inserts the nodes at the beginning of the page, not at the cursor position...

In FF it works fine.

I'm experiencing the same problem on three different machines (2 Win XP, IE7, one Windows Vista IE7). Note these are actual machines, not VMs.

Works fine in Firefox on all three machines.

The fact is that IE doesn't preserve the selection in more than one window at the same time (in a frames tree). So, if you move the selection to another document (by clicking in a button that inserts the HTML, for example), the editor looses the selection.

For now, all I can tell is that it is a requirement to not make external documents to get the selection in such cases. Usually it is enough to set ​unselectable="on" on the target elements.

FCKeditor was retired and is no longer supported. All active development was moved to its successor, ​CKEditor 3.x, that is a fully mature and far superior product. We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible since this issue is no longer a problem in current code base.
