Concrete Editor and IE8+

[floria...@googlemail.com]

Hallo there,

lately I started using Concrete Editor in a project. Thanks a lot Martin for making this available!

But one constraint is to use it in Internet Explorer 8+. What do you guys think would be needed

to make it compatible or what kind of obstacles are already known?

Thanks a lot for any pointers!

Hi Florian,

the versions of Concrete which are currently released have been tested with Firefox and Chrome.
I know that there are issues with IE and haven't tested with the latest versions of IE.
I don't see any major obstacles though.
Let me take a look at that, I'll get back to you.

Hi Martin,

thanks for your reply - I'd love to hear more about it! In the current project I managed to convince the client to use Firefox - but that would be a nice extension of target group for Concrete Editor nevertheless.

Hello Florian,

Sorry for the delay!
The issue, at least with later versions of IE, is that mouse and keyboard events are not propagated properly.
I have replaced version 1.6.0.3 of the prototype library which ships with concrete with the latest version 1.7.1.0 and this fixes the problem in IE 10.

There will be problems with older versions of IE though but I haven't tested thoroughly.
Can you check if it works with the versions of IE which are relevant for you?

Is this something that Prototype (even the latest version) doesn't reliably abstract over? Is it an idea to use jQuery (using the non-$-override mode) to provide an abstraction for mouse and keyboard events that works reliably on IE8+ as well?

It seems you haven't pushed this to the repo yet.
