IE7: "colspan" collapses editor when swithching between Source View/Wikitext

[hans88]

Difficult to reproduce (the problem depends on the content of the article). in my article i had some pictures in a table. if i work on the article with firefox everythings fine. but on edit with Internet Explorer 7 i can't change to Source-Code (or Wikitext) and after saving again all pictures are gone. instead of the pictures there's something like this: <img src="ef=" _fck_mw_filename="pic.jpg" alt="80px" /> besides all links are changed to <a href="linkdestiation.html">Linkdestination</a> but this happens only very rarely. but if it happens IE7 brings the error messeage "Object Does Not Support Property Or Method" URL:mywikipath/extensions/FCKeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=wpTextbox1&Toolbar=Wiki I've no idea how to resolve this problem. so please help me!!! I use this version of the FCKeditor: ​http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FCKeditor_%28by_FCKeditor_and_Wikia%29

Hi! Could you provide us a sample page with the problem that you are dealing with. As you said the problem is hard to reproduce so we were unable to reproduce your problem.

Thanks

In the meantime I found out that the problem is connected apparently with tables. if a cell is divided into two colums the problem described above arises. here is a example (the wiki-syntax of an article)

Example

{| cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" style="width: 772px; height: 190px;"

| cell 1 | colspan="2" | cell 2 | cell 3

| cell 4 | colspan="2" | cell 5 with a picture [[Image:Pic.jpg|50px]]<br> | cell 6

| cell 7 | cell 8_1 | cell&nbsp; 8_2 | cell 9

| cell 10 | colspan="2" | cell 11 | cell 12 with a ​link<br> |}

Confirmed

It took me a while to find the origin of the problem. It seems that it isn't the pictures and the links which are breaking the IE7. It seems that the

colspan="2" 

is breaking down the code. If you delete it everything works fine. We will try to work it out somehow. Thanks for the example it was very useful.
