CKEditor control does not work on Azure

[mark hembree]

When using CKEditor on Azure, most of the controls that involve a pop up - does not work properly.

IE: the pop up for an image will allow me to enter all of the image data, but when I click "OK" the pop up does not respond. I try to close or cancel and nothing will close the pop up. I have to close the page.

The spell check and link pop ups are also Not working.

I can load the same code on my local server and everything works fine.

I tried to modify the BasePath property to "~/ckeditor" but that does not work either.

Which CKEditor version you use? Errors you have mentioned are typical to IE11 and editor below version 4.3 (support for IE11 is available from CKEditor 4.3).

What are you getting in IE dev tools network tab or console tab when you open CKEditor or these dialogs? Are you getting any HTTP errors like 404 or 403?

Thanks for getting back with me.

I am using 3.6.4.0 version of ckeditor for .net (10/9/2013). Your note said that the errors are typical for versions below 4.3 - yet the latest version for .net is 3.6.6

Are the fixes for IE11 in 4.3 in the .net version 3.6.6 ? if so, I will update my dll's (I will do that anyway).

I will also crank up fiddler to see if I can get some errors we can look at.

You have written you are using CKEditor for ASP.NET 3.6.6.2. Please bear in mind that you can update client side version to CKEditor 4.4.5.

Download CKEditor 3.6.6.2 for ASP.NET, unpack, go to your-ckeditor-aspnet-3.6.6.2-folder\_Samples and delete \ckeditor\ directory. Download FULL package for CKEditor 4.4.5 and extract it to \ckeditor\ directory. Next copy \ckeditor\ directory to your-ckeditor-aspnet-3.6.6.2-folder\_Samples.

In CKEditor 4.1 we have introduced ACF. You can read about it here:

If you plan to use content filter please note that CKEditor for ASP.NET 4.x is still under construction and to change ACF settings you would have to use config.js as it can’t be done from control level.
