FreeTextBox

Hi, I am currently using version 3.1.6.34851 of FreeTextBox but it does not get displayed on IE8 (it just comes up as a TextArea). It does come up on IE7, Google Chrome and FireFox. What do I need to do, in order for me to get it on IE8 also?

upgrade to 3.2.4

 

Seems like it's finally working there.

hi freetextbox

I'm on 3.1.6 with seriously altered code for our company's needs so don't tell me to update to the newest version cause that would be WAY too timeconsuming to try and merge the code, not happening before I know more about this.

But... I've seen this behavir in two different projects, one is in ASP.NET 1.1 (VB)and one is in ASP.NET 2.0 (C#)  Everything works fine in IE7 and Firefox but in IE8 the following happens:

If I surf local or to another developers machine on our network local it works. But when it's updated and run live on internet it fails to load and shows that naked textarea box. but here's the fun part...

If I surf to a developer machine on hostname (eg "Computer1")... it works but if I surf on the IP adress... it fails... so Same Client IE8, same webapp and same server acts different if I use local host name comparted to IP adress.

Is there a possibility that any security setting in IE8 can be the cause? I've tried changing security level for Internet Zone vs Local Zone without any luck

Any thoughts?

You don’t need to change your code, I had the same problem, and I'm using .NET Framework 2.0, just replace the .dll file with the new FTBv3-2-4 in your bin directory and it will work fine hopefully.

We are struggling with the same bug.

See: http://freetextbox.com/forums/10089/ShowThread.aspx#10089

We also have the latest version 3.2.4

This is, as stated by others, an issue with the new strict dtd enforced by IE 8 in default mode. switching to "Compatablity View" does indeed resolve the problem, but I would argue, is not a good  long term solution - forcing your users to configure their browsers.

That said, I am writing this using IE8 in default mode and I'm guessing, this is the latest FTB control, so something has been fixed.

Anyway, you are using a FREE control. Yes, you are within your right to modify it, but not to complain that the free control you are using has been modified to address evoloution. It is but a small price to pay for the tons of work done by others for your benefit. Still, I would argue that you should never have modified the source in the first place.  The preferred method imo, would be to use the control as a base class for any custom modifications that you need for your application. That way, when the makers of your free control release an update, you simply plug it into your project and go. No merging of custom changes needed.

Those are my thoughts

after downloading and integrating the newest version - 3.2.4 - into my various projects, it does indeed work fine in IE8 default mode.

good luck all

perfect

Thanks guys :)

I've installed versjon 3.2.4.41247 and its not working for me in IE8. It works fine in Firefox.

The IE version is 8.07600.16385 64-bits version (also tested in the 32-bits version).

I'm using the FreeTextBox.dll from the Framework-3.5-folder and everything seem to work as it should. The control is visible and I'm able to click some of the controls. (font type, size and color), but the the rest of the properties seems to be disabled and the text area doesn't react to any actions. Seems to be read only.

Any ideas?

 

I'm using .NET Framework 2.0, just replace the .dll file
