Following on - I have now installed Holger's newer (demo) version of CKEditor. It works in Firefox (latest version) in Windows7 and the drop-down selection options work but in Chrome the only things that appear for a page are the two tabs at the top left. The edit area is empty. No editor heading/menu area or anything. So I'll uninstall it and leave my editing to tinymce.

Now to figure out how to get tinymce to work for me.

Thanks again,
KurtM

Hmm, seems there's a Javascript error. But I can't believe that it's caused by the ckeditor plugin. Maybe it's only cache related?

Ja, unter Windows mit Xampp, sorry. Manche Sachen sollte man doch lieber online testen.

Have checked that now again and it works with Chrome ...

Kurt, have a look into the JavaScript console (F12 -> Console). I assume that there's at least one error reported.

Many thanks again folks, at this moment I've returned to 'tinymce'. If I have time to play with CKEditor again I'll do some more diagnostics and review the JavaScript console error log.

On Firefox I use Giorgio Maone's NoScript to block scripts but always allow all on my own sites so that shouldn't be a show-stopper. I don't use any plug-ins with Chrome but the results still aren't as they should be. Maybe I need to go back to my old WinXP box and see how CKEditor works there. I've never had these problems before.

Holger's link to http://cmsimpleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2665 is very useful, I'll experiment with that to get the background and text to contrast.

Okay - for now it's forward and up with tinymce.
Have fun!

You may nonetheless consider to deactivate it for testing purposes.

You could also quickly try the online demo.

Yes - I already did that.
