Block data deleting when added - only in IE
Permalink
Hey guys,
I'm having some really odd issues that are only happening in IE. With at least two blocks I'm using - 'Plain Text' and 'Add FAQs', after entering text into the field in edit block mode and then clicking add, the block doesn't display any text at all and if I click to re-edit the newly added block, it shows no text in the field that I just added text to.
I've duplicated the entire site and put it on another server and it has the same IE issues there so I know it's not a server thing. I also just upgraded one of those C5 versions and it still behaves the same way. My guess is it's some wierd DB issue but it's just odd to me that it is occuring in two different blocks, never occurs in the content editor block and only happens in IE.
Any thoughts? I'm totally clueless on this one.
Thanks.

Bump. Anyone? I'm really clueless on this one.
Has no one dealt with this before? It's causing the site to be practically useless for a large number of people who are using the site because they have to use IE at work.
I noticed some errors when trying to refresh the db tables saying "No block found with the handle add_faq." I have add_faq in my top level block folder so I added all of the files that were in the add_faq packages folder to the add_faq blocks folder. That cleared up the db issue but the IE problem still remained.
I then completely duplicated the add_faq block, renamed it and installed it. After adding it with IE, it was still causing the same problems.
I then tried adding other blocks and they all produced the same results, except for the content block. For some reason, the content block is fine and allows IE users to add content with no issues.
Could this be a javascript issue? I'm not seeing any javascript errors in IE but because it's happening only in IE and across all blocks, except for content editor, which makes me think it might be.
Any thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

This is kind of turning into a journal entry - oh well. I'd still appreciate any ideas from anyone.
I swapped my entire theme out with another one and am not experiencing the issue anymore so it is definitely not a db issue and is related to my theme somehow - guessing a js issue.
Guess I'll start stripping out bits of my theme code and see if I can identify the culprit.

The problem is the last thing I would've thought of:
Removing that line causes everything to work fine in IE. So I thought I'd just put it inside of a check to see if the user is logged in like:
But that causes IE to freak out and crash upon each new page load. It's almost like it's having to switch to IE7 mode each time the page loads and that is what is causing it to flip? Any thoughts on this? I think I might start a new post with just this listed as the problem.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

I am having the same issue. I am using the content+ add-on. I too, would love some sort of quick fix for the future.
For me, it turns out there was a background image that IE didn't like. It was the main background image used for the body tag. I removed it from my CSS file and everything started to magically work in IE. I added the background image back in by including it inline instead of in the external style sheet and IE was okay with that approach. I can't explain why that fixed the issue but in order to solve it, I just went through every linked js and css file, removing each one until the issue cleared up. When I realized it was the main css file, I went though it piece by piece until I was able to identify that it was the body's background image that it didn't like.
I hope this helps you.
