IE9 FCKEditor toolbar doesn't show until refresh page

I have an FCKEditor with a toolbar on an ASPX page that I use as a member review entry form. This has worked quite well until IE9. Now when the page first comes up it doesn't work right and the FCKEditor toolbar is not visible. If I refresh the page it works fine.

I'm not sure what code to show here, this is what I have on my ASPX page:

<%@ Register Assembly="FredCK.FCKeditorV2" Namespace="FredCK.FCKeditorV2" TagPrefix="FCKeditorV2" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
    <table width=580>
    <tr><td colspan="2">
...
        Enter your review here:<br />
        <FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor Width="580px" Height="400px" id="FCKeditor2" BasePath="~/FCKeditor/"  runat="server">
        </FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor>

Here is a page that demonstrates the problem:

Note: the toolbar comes up just fine everytime under FireFox.

Solution

  • After further research (and a lack of responses here) I came to the conclusion that the first thing to do is upgrade to the new version CKEditor 3.6.2 ASP.NET control. After downloading, installing and futzing around with it I was able to get the new editor working in place of the old -- and now it comes up correclty under IE9 -- Problem Solved!
