InsertHtml() is inconsistent between IE 7 and Firefox 2

[Slava]

If called several times in succession, these three lines of JavaScript create different behavior in IE 7 vs. FF 2:

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('FCKInput'); oEditor.InsertHtml(strInsertion); oEditor.Focus();

The difference between the results in IE and FF is that the insertion point in the editor behaves differently. To see this in action, please visit ​http://132.236.21.62/collt/authoring/InsertAtCursor_Problem.htm. I also attach the same HTML file.

I'd appreciate an update sent to sp27@….

Did you try already version 2.6.3 or a nightly build?

[Slava]

The problem I'm describing is with version 2.6.3 that I downloaded and installed on 12/24/2008. Sorry about not being accurate about this. I have not tried the nightly build.

This problem can still be reproduced in latest CKEditor 3.6.4 (v4 beta as well) and all versions of IE.

1. Paste the attached replacebycode3.html file into _samples folder
2. Click A, B, C in the alphabet palette, in that order
3. In IE, you'll get CBA while in other browsers you will get expected ABC
4. Click between C and B in IE to position the insertion point, and then click D, E, and F in the alphabet palette

Result: in IE, you'll get FBEDCA

FF2 and IE7 are no longer supported.
