When i hit the html link in the tinymce wysiwyg editor i see the popup window for a fraction of a second then the frame goes blank.

I still have the top frame navigatgion but th rest of the screen is white.

Sounds simmilar to this issue

http://n2cms.codeplex.com/workitem/27932 but i do not get any error messages of any kind.

Any ideas? Ideas to debug this?

ps. i have the latest version of n2cms.  Downloaded maybe 2 weeks ago.

Further to this, i have realised that if i restore or maximise the window then i can see the dialog box/

It appears there is a weird overlya covering the bottom seciton of the frames.  It covers the left hand tree view and the main content section.

When i resize this goes away.

Anyone have any ideas of how i can get around this. 

Seems like this happens when i run in iis.

When running in visual studio development server it works ok?

BUMP - any ideas?

OK - finally i have reproduced this in the current latest source and is nothing i have done to the code. :)

If you run the MVCTest project - set it up to run in IIS as a website then i get this error.

Go in to edit a page and press HTML and you will get a blank page.

This doesnt happen when running in iis under localhost/virtual directory  or in the VS development server

Please help.

Hi and thanks for persisting. I managed to reproduce this using IE7. I'll try to figure out what's going on.

@libardo: I saw you updated to the latest tinyMCE, probably to solve this?

Just want to add that in the past, I experienced some strange behaviour on IE(7?) when using a special htc behaviour to fix png transparency. Might not be related at all, but just adding this as possible relevant info.

Never did a thourough investigation, but it felt like something that was loaded into an element by the script, actually ended up being loaded into the browser window instead.

Unfortunately upgrading didn' thelp. It seems related to showing tiny popups in a frame. 

It is very odd.  I am using IE9 and getting this behaviour.

It is very weird as i dont get it when its running under localhost/virtual directory!! unfortunately it will be deployed under a website of its own so really need to come up with a solution.

Try this workaround:

• Edit \N2\Resources\Js\FreeTextArea.js
• Remove all instance of inlinepopups from the file.

This will make tiny open a popup window rather than making an inline popup.

Well, that is a step forward.  Thanks for the work around.

Unfortunately, my browser is set to open pupus in another tab so it may be a little confusing for the user.

Can i ask whether this issue has been added to any backlog of work?

I'm leaning towards wont-fix for this one since it affects old browsers, and there is a workaround. Besides, the fix would go in tiny mce and I saw a thread on the tiny mce forum expressing difficulty and little interest in dealing with this.

From: libardo

Since I can only reproduce in IE7 browser mode. Anyone else have problems inserting links/images in the text editor from the management UI using IE8 or IE9?

This is the tiny mce thread I meantioned: http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11738
