[IE] Permission denied when calling setData very fast

[Olek Nowodziński]

1. Go to ​http://ckeditor4.t/ckeditor/samples/api.html
2. Click Set Editor Contents very fast.
3. SCRIPT70: Permission denied

May affect other IEs (to be checked).

[Olek Nowodziński]

Error can be reproduced in all IEs since 4.0 with this code:

var i = 0;

function next() {
  CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.setData( '<h2>Test</h2><p>This is some <a href="/Test1.html">sample</a> HTML code.</p>' );

 if ( ++i < 5 )
    setTimeout( next, 50 );
}

next();

The difference between previous releases (i.e. 4.1.1) is that the time threshold to produce the error is much, much longer so now it can be re-produced manually.

I was able to reproduce this problem from CKE 4.0 beta in IE7-10.

CKEDITOR.on( 'instanceReady', function( event ) {
var i = 0;
function next() {
	CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.setData( '<h2>Test</h2><p>This is some <a href="/Test1.html">sample</a> HTML code.</p>' );

	 if ( ++i < 5 )
		setTimeout( next, 50 );
	}
next();
});

I have decided to close #10079 as duplicate of this one. Another way to reproduce this problem is setting data when editor gains focus:

CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function (e) {
	e.editor.on('focus', function (e) {
	window.setTimeout(function(){e.editor.setData('');},10);
	//e.editor.setData('');
});
});

Please note that putting setData into setTimeout resolves the issue. Perhaps IE locks editor for a brief moment.

TC from that ticket:

				editor.on( 'instanceReady', function( e )
				{				
					editor.setData('<p>abc</p>');
					editor.resetDirty();
					//editor.resetUndo();
					//editor.focus(); 
				});	

1. in CKEditor 3.x this was Unable to get property "innerHTML" of undefined or null reference
2. In CKEditor 4.x Access denied is thrown.

I have downloaded ckeditor 4.4 standard and have this issue for IE11 Is there any fix ?

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

The only solution is calling setData after previous setData finished. That's the correct way of using setData.

Replying to Reinmar:

The only solution is calling setData after previous setData finished. That's the correct way of using setData.

How is it possible? If I need to call it 2 times in a row? Only with time stopper?

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

Editor.setData accepts a callback. Callback is executed when data is ready. It would be something like:

editor.setData( 'foo', function() {
    editor.setData( 'bar' );
} );

See docs: ​http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.editor-method-setData
