 Topic: RTE v3 - IE Access/Permission Denied Bug
Posted: 26 January 2005 at 10:26am |
There seems to be a problem with IE on the new version 3.0 beta 1 RTE that gives an Access or Permission Denied Runtime Error.
So far I believe I have tracked this error down to only effecting one version of IE, that version being IE 6.0.28.
Versions below IE 6.0.28 and the latest version, IE 6.0.29, do not seem to suffer from this bug (at least it seems at peresent).
If you find that you get an Access or Permission Denied Runtime Error in IE please post the following details in this topic:-
- Complete IE version number
- Operating System
- IE Security Level
- IE language (locale) version
Many thanks for your help, hopefully by getting more details I will be able to resolve this issue

Hopefully the problem with Permission Denied message will be solved, because I think it's a major obstacle for Installing RTE V3 on a website. 
Sure, the problem seems to be solved with IE6.0.29, but I think you cannot expect users to upgrade there browser because of such a bug.
Besides: I did not found a separate possibility at microsoft's site to get IE6.0.29 as a separate download.
Mayby it is integrated in Service Pack 2 !? In fact, Í know a lot of people who dont want 'to install SP2, maybe because of the problems it can bring to some other software!
The bug seems only to appear in v6.0.28: Sorry to say,
but I have also an old computer running with IE6.0.26 and Win98SE, and the same error occurs.
Now for the GOOD NEWS:
The RTE V3 worked fine on another computer with XP-Pers and Netscape V7.1 browser! Yes, Netscape.
I tried some text, emoticons, even an image and it update well in the access database (memo field). Yippie.
Because of all this access-denied stuff I almost forgot that, indeed, the installation itself is simple and the edit functions are great.
(reaching out...)

Thanks for letting me know about IE6.0.26, this is why I have created
this topic to try and findout what versions of IE it does affect.
This way I can try and replicate the error to try and find a solution.
The problem won't happen in Netscape/Mozilla as it uses slightly
different code for that part, which is support differently in IE (IE
uses 'attachEvent' and Mozilla/Netscape uses 'addEventListener')
I believe from what I have foundout that IE 6.0.28 comes with XP SP2,
but if you use Windows update it will apply a few security patches to
this version that will bring it up to IE 6.0.29
If you could test this for me, try using Windows update and see if that updates the version of IE you are using to IE6.0.29
Many thanks

A further update in trying to replicate this error so I can try finding a solution.
I found an old hard drive of mine with Win XP with no SP installed at all and with a copy of IE6.0.26 installed.
After a few hours of messing getting the OS to work with my newer
computer I then tested the RTE in IE6.0.26 on Win XP (no SP) and found
that the error didn't occur.
I'm going to try installing SP1 to take it up IE6.0.28 to test with that version and see if I can replicate the error.
One other thing I thinking it could be now is the language version of IE.
If people could post what language version (locale) of IE they are using, this may also help.

Finally got the error to come up on IE6.0.28 Win XP Pro SP1a.
I find the error only comes up when looking at the RTE on a remote
source, like on the Internet, the error doesn't seem to come up when
looking at the RTE on a localhost.
This suggests that the problem looks like IE6.0.28 sees the iframe
generated by the JavaScript for the RTE area, as not being from the
same domain, hence the permissions error.
There are also a number of other strange behaviours that effect
IE6.0.28, like the preview window doesn't open correctly. Most of these
things work on previous and the latest version of IE.
Trust Microsoft to not only do things different to other browsers and
w3c standards, but also completely screw things up between minor browser
versions of IE6!!!!
IE has to be the most naff browser on the planet, hopefully soon people
will realise this and IE will eventually be confined to the 'Recycle Bin'
where is belongs.

IE Access/Permission Denied Bug Fix!!
I believe I have found a fix to this error 
After spending days trying to replicate this error, I find
that I had already resolved this error, without even knowing it, while
refining some of the code for the next version, and it was
done by changing one line of code!!
I was expecting this fix to take days to workout, but here is the fix:-
Change line 135 of the file 'RTE_javascript.asp' from:-
editor.designMode = 'on';
To:-
editor.body.contentEditable = true;
|
I've updated it on the beta page at:-
http://www.richtexteditor.org/beta/
If all those that had this error in IE please try the update and let me know it works.
Many thanks all those who helped finding a solution to this bug

Time to smile a while.
I changed the one line of code and indeed, no more messages of Permission Denied!! (And the textarea updated the database field).
I checked in on localhost and remote with IE6.0.28 (no Service Pack 2) and
on remote with IE6.0.26 (Win98SE)
Good work! 
Years go by
Testing goes on...
