Hi, there is a problem in ckeditor.jsp in function initCkArea() there is this statement :

ckEditor.setData(parent.<%= HtmlUtil.escape(initMethod) %>());

but "parent" is always null in google chrome, therefore the initMethod is never called...

I think it has something to do with the fact, that this javascript is within an iFrame and some browsers have problem with that.

Btw I don't know why, but if I put ckeditor in Alloy panel (via jsp tag), it is rendered twice: first time without the panel, second time with the panel... It is very easily reproducable, just do

<aui:panel collapsible='<%= true %>' label="label.details" id="details" >
<liferay-ui:input-editor width="700" height="400" initMethod='<%= renderResponse.getNamespace() + "initEditor" %>'/>
</aui:panel>

and you should see the result. Regards

It's a typical issue with google chrome, it sometimes doesn't allow to call "parent" function. But in LR ckeditor it has never worked for me since chrome 4 up to chrome 9

Anyways, this is a quite important issue, because if the error is thrown (because of null parent), the execution stops and the event handling (callback) isn't initialized ...

This issue was resolved with ticket LPS-16262 where the iframe wrapping the editor was removed.
