Why does my Online Editor (OE) crash?

I have stumbled over a problem, that I cant get by.

Everytime I create a table in the Online Editor, and then put the cursor in a cell of that table - the whole webb-browser crashes!

I use the latest version of the OE and Version 3.3 of eZPublish. I run Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 on Win XPP with SP1.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have no idea about whats causing it...so any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
/Nicklas

Hi Nicklas!

This is a problem with the version you are using (IE 6.0 2800). If you downgrade to 2600, this problem will be solved. But in the version 2600, some other OE error occurs :(

Haven't found any good doc. on these problems on www.ez.no, but maybe someone else can help us out here?

In my company the editors uses both the version 2600 and 2800, and these editor-groups experience different problems and crashes on both these versions, but 2600 is the "more" "stable".

You may want to check out an alternate browser like Mozilla, Firefox or Opera. I can't guarantee they will solve the problem you are experieincing, but I haven't had any issues with Mozilla or Firefox.

Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/
Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Opera: http://www.opera.com

All three provide soem great capabilities not available in IE 6.

BUT, it's only the browser IE that provides tag creation through the editor-icons, or?

If you use another browser than IE, you have to write the code, instead of using the buttons/icons in the editor. This takes too much time..or does it now exist an editor, so we do not need to use IE at all?

Hi folks,
Thanks for your replies to my question!
However, I find it very strange that the new version of IE crashes due to the OE.
In my case, its only when I place the cursor in a table cell in OE that the crashes occur.

I suppose I could downgrade IE, as suggested above. But is this really necessary? And, for that matter - is it possible?
Anyhow, on another computer with Win 2000 and IE 6.0.2800, the crashes doesnt occur.So the problem seem to be XP-related.

I wish the EZ-Crew would give some guidance on this issue (please..?)

Kind regards,

Nicklas Lundgren

Hi,

It is really difficult to find out what is the real problem since we can't reproduce the crash. We do have some people use xp ie2800 serie, but they don't have problem at all. I think there might be some conponent confilct in your computer since OE use standared dhtml components fra MS. We will try to add more check code in the next version of OE and hope that will help.

Best regards,
wenyue

Hi Wenyue.

I just want to thank you for the quick reply!

I hope the new checks will help get rid of this problem. Meanwhile, I suppose Ill just have to make my editing on the Win 2000 PC.
