I’ve started testing ckeditor 0.3.1 and get some strange behaviour when I click the button for Bold text:

i.e. Erroneous characters appear.

Now if I delete the erroneous characters and add some txt I get an error on save:

Any ideas on what this is?

Is there anything in the javascript error log that offers a clue?
Note: For debugging purposes, it might make your life easier to turn on JavascriptTool debugging by adding the following to your conf.ini file:

Code: Select all

[Dataface_JavascriptTool]     debug=1

This turns off minification so that JS error logs will be easier to trace back to the suspect code.

Ok I’ve turned this option on but where do I find the Javascript error log?

The javascript error log would be in your browser.

Instructions for Chrome: https://developers.google.com/chrome-de … cs/console

Other browsers will have different ways to get there. Chrome (IMHO) has the best Javascript logging and debugging capabilities.

No errors or anything being posted.
Hitting the B Bold button downloads nothing from the web server either.

I get the error even if Bold isn’t selected.

However simply highlighting some text then hitting save makes it work!

Some further info re the bug.

If I click on the save icon in ckeditor it works a treat.
If I click on the Xataface Save button I get the aformentioned error unless I put the cursor back in the edit Window and then press the Xataface save button again.
