IE8 with RichText-Editor and SSL

We have an xPage with a Richtext Editor (Dojo 1.3.2) and Domino 8.5.1.

Everything works fine under SSL except the IE8 browser (damned thing).

We get an iframe with an error message (“Navigation cancelled”).

If we browse the site with http everything works fine. Is this a browser bug or a domino / xpage bug ?

Does anyone also have this issue ?

Subject: It’s an IE8 setting for mixed-mode pages

The Dojo (dijit) Rich Text editor makes an unsecured async call when loading. Your IE8 configuration is set not to load non-SSL content on mixed-mode pages. You can change this in your options.

Subject: … not the solution.

Hi,

thanks for your fast response. We checked this option but the result is the same … if we check the option “Ask” there are some javascript errors “Access denied”.

Are there any other options to get this work ?

Subject: Set to display instead of Ask?

Did you try setting it to just permit all instead of asking? Also, the setting is available on a zone basis so make sure you’ve changed the appropriate zone (or all?).

Subject: … possible a bug because …

… there is a fix in dojo richtext editor in version 1.4.x.

With this fix there is no more issue with the richtext editor and ie8 and ssl.

Subject: How did you tell Domino to use dojo 1.4.0b2?

I tried changing the IE8 mixed mode settings to Enable, and that did not make a difference.

I have downloaded dojo-1.4.0b2 and placed alongside 1.3.2, but don’t know how to get Notes or Domino to use the newer version. Also, do I need to copy the .ibm folder from 1.3.2, since it is not part of the 1.4.0b2 zip?

Thanks,

Subject: New Version of Dojo

Geordon,

Where you able to figure this out?

Subject: Any luck?

Has anyone figured this out, or are we at the mercy of IBM (again)?

Subject: Unfortunately No

I’m surprised more people aren’t complaining about this. I’d like to update to Domino 8.5.2 at some point. I think it comes with a newer version of Dojo, which probably fixes this.

Subject: Seems to be solved in FP4

We had this issue and 8.5.1 FP4 seems to solve the issue. It contains some dojo fixes.

8.5.2 has completely different RichText editors.
