We have a new site with Drupal 5.0 and TinyMCE. The customer has IE 6.0. When she adds information into the TinyMCE text editor, she gets the error "Body field is required". This does not happen in Firefox.

Our solution was to have the customer download Firefox for now, so I don't have IE 6 to test this with. However, this is also being reported at: http://drupal.org/node/110185 by 2 other users.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. Drupal 5 rc1, TinyMCE 5, IMCE, IE 6. Works in Firefox. Any support on this would be appreciated, or a recommendation for another text editor. (FCKEditor isn't working well for me with Drupal 5 either)

Same here.

The error occurs in IE6 and IE7 but not in Firefox and Opera.

I have just tested with the TinyMCE module updated Feb 1 2007 and also tried downleveling my TinyMCE install to 2.0.8 as the module docs say "based on TinyMCE 2.0.8". All to no avail.

I had some minor success with this, as I upgraded to drupal 5.1 (from rc1) and the feb. 1 release of tinymce. It works some of the time, and not others. Still not acceptable for release to the public, but I am trying to find some pattern to it and am playing around with settings. I'll update if I find anything.

I think this bug is related to this other bug http://drupal.org/node/110827. There are some possible workarounds mentioned in the comments.

Thanks, LarryChu. That was insightful, instead of trying the hacks, I re-installed and finagled the settings.
This works for me on IE 6 now. Here's what I've got: Drupal 5.1, TinyMCE [Feb 1 release], TinyMCE 2.0.9, IMCE. Basic TinyMCE settings-- Editor mode: Compact; Enable TinyMCE for: edit-body only. Administer>>Site configuration>>Input formats: Full HTML (only 'line break converter' and 'url filter' options are checked). Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the Sourceforge link!

I'm on 4.7 but I was seeing the same problem - which helped convince me it was a TinyMCE issue, the Javascript change seems to have fixed the creation problem but I'm also seeing a 'blank body' on edit (ie when you edit an existing node with TinyMCE the body becomes empty and the 'are you sure you want to navgiate away' message appears.

I'm not 100% sure if these are the same issue or not?

Does anyone have any theories? I thought that I had some evidence there was a link with DOM (nicelinks module?).
