dijit/Editor on IE9 can't enter text if "Active Scripting" is disabled for the "Internet" zone in IE

[Ed Chatelain]

See the discussion and suggested fix here: ​http://dojo-toolkit.33424.n3.nabble.com/IE-9-1-7-2-can-t-enter-text-into-dijit-Editor-td3854747.html

The suggested fix was to switch the order of these two lines in RichText.js:

ifr.setAttribute('src', s);
this.editingArea.appendChild(ifr);

However, then on IE9 the onload event for the iframe never fires, so the editor initialization never finishes (and the real content of the editor never gets set).

Also, a cautionary comment from Christopher Morrissey (about switching the order):

this might cause a problem in IE when using https because I've seen in the past that having an empty src tag causes a warning that the page is trying to load unsecure content. I haven't seen this happen on IE 8 or IE 9 when I made sure the setting was on to warn when loading both secure and insecure content. I think it may be because instead of there being an empty src attribute, there is none at all and maybe that makes a difference? Or maybe it only shows up on versions of IE prior to IE 8.

The applied fix, which assumes that every browser after IE9 will have the same bug until the end of time, causes dijit/tests/_base/robot/focus_mouse.html to never load on IE10.

Thanks for tracking that down. Do you have any idea on the other editor problem on IE11, #17595? It's easy to fix for IE9 and IE10 but I'm not sure what to do for IE11. (Taking the optimistic approach that IE11 works like other browsers does not work.)
