[IE Quirks] Table plugin broken / validation impossible

[Charlie]

Under IE Quirks the following coding error comes out:

CKEDITOR.dialog.validate.integer()( value )

should be:

CKEDITOR.dialog.validate.integer( value )

This magically works on every other browser, but in quirks mode it passes a null value and thus makes the table dialog impossible to use.

Patch attached.

NOTE: For some reason, this was impossible to re-produce on the test site and on the exact same code running locally on my computer, yet on our server (same code as local server) the error shows itself. Since this is simply a syntatic fix, compatibility should be improved with no side effects.

I'm afraid your fix isn't valid, as we're using "factory" functions for validation. The reason for the error you're receiving is execution of this generated function. Removing first execution results in only generating the function, so error disappears.

We would need some detailed error msg or test case, as we can't reproduce it.

There is no error message, I simply tracked it down the pipe in IE using the debugger and found that the variable is simply not coming through when the validation function is called (msg is null). Yet it comes through when using the other method.

I guess I don't quite understand why it has to be a "factory" function if it doesn't work all the time. Sorry, I'm not terribly advanced at JS. I'll work on trying to find a test case, but the best I can do for now is a screenshot.

Ok, I think it has to be something with the specific way I'm calling it or some interaction with other JS on the page. I'm closing this for now, but if you have any ideas on what might cause this type of interaction let me know. Thanks for the help!
