IE7: Editor in Dialog cannot receive focus

[Douglas Hays]

Run this in IE7 (IE6 and IE8 and non-IE browsers seem to work OK):

var newDlg = new dijit.Dialog({
        title: "test",
        content: new dijit.Editor({})
});
newDlg.show();

The Editor displays but you cannot focus it. Substituting other widgets like TextBox? into the Dialog content works OK.

I think you need to give it a default value. Like:

var newDlg = new dijit.Dialog({

title: "test", content: new dijit.Editor({value: " "})

}); newDlg.show();

I added value:"abc" and the Editor is still blank on IE7 but it shows up on all other browsers. This appears to be an even bigger problem.

Doesn't make a difference. It has something to do with having a width of 0. The CSS is set to 100%, and its parent has a width. How odd.

If I go in and manually set the iframe width to some px, it works.

[Douglas Hays]

Thanks, I added { style:'width:"500px"' } as a workaround.

But, editors programatically created editors without a srcNodeRefdon't work at all, right? I can't find a ticket for that strangely.

Also, isn't this is a dup of #4771?

[Jared Jurkiewicz]

Creating editors on hidden elements is questionable at best and is documented as a known limitation. Plus, you need to set a source element to attach/wrap or odd things happen.

I have run into this problem on a declaritive editor in a dialog where the dialog is definately before the content/editor is added. Is only happening in IE7. If I give the iframeContainer or the iframe itself a pixel width it will appear, but setting a width any higher up doesn't appear to do anything.

Unless the dialog is already "open" when the editor is added to it, you are still running into the same limitation of creating an editor in a non visible element...
