ActivEdit 5 / IE Fix

May 11th, 2007

So this weird thing was happening with Internet Explorer and ActivEdit – the content wasn’t showing up in the editing area. I was able to correct this by keeping the ActivEdit form at the root level of the document body, but as soon as it was a child of any other element besides html, no go.

After jumping through some ridiculous hoops to install the Microsoft Script Debugger, I was able to find that the problem lay with the DOM object with id ae_tx_content1 – the textarea that contains the actual content.

Fortunately a Google search led me here: http://www.mail-archive.com/plum@mail.productivityenhancement.com/msg02323.html, and with this handy fix in place, everything is hunky-dory. Thanks tonyFelice!
