When the scroll bar is clicked a javascript error occurs; this error prevents the scrollbar from working. The DocType is specified in our custom configurations file using the following statement: FCKConfig.DocType = '' ; The error details are as follows: Message: 'nodeName' is null or not an object Line: 457 Char: 2 Code: 0 URI: https://brue/editor/264/v1/fckeditor/editor/_source/internals/fck_ie.js This line of javascript is: if ( e.nodeName.IEquals( 'input' ) && e.type.IEquals( ['radio', 'checkbox'] ) && !e.disabled ) I've worked around this problem by adding an extra guard. if ( e.nodeName && e.nodeName.IEquals( 'input' ) && e.type.IEquals( ['radio', 'checkbox'] ) && !e.disabled ) This works for me as we never use FCK to edit web forms. However, a proper solution needs to test the DOM model for an attribute present in IE8 under both HTML and XHTML." Bug closed Normal FCKeditor 2.6.5 General FCKeditor 2.6.4 fixed IE8 Review+
