[WAMP, PHP5, Drupal 5.13, FCKeditor 5.x-2.2-rc7, FCKeditor 2.6.3]

When spell checking node content that is wrapped in a HTML 'fieldset' tag FCKeditor SpellerPages checker fails to find or highlight spelling errors.

Case 1: fieldset tag & intensional spelling error:

When the spell checker button is clicked the SpellerPages dialog box appears normally, displaying 'Spell check in progress' for a few seconds, then the text being checked is displayed, within the fieldset border, but the spell check stalls at this point with no further action, messages or suggestions. There is no highlighting of spelling errors. Clicking the 'cancel' button will close the SpellerPages dialogue box.

Case 2: fieldset tag & no spelling errors:

Spell checker runs correctly and responds with “Spell check complete: No misspellings found” message. Clicking OK returns to the edit screen with no apparent problems.

Case 3: no fieldset tag & intensional spelling error:

Finds, highlights and corrects spelling error correctly.

Case 4: no fieldset tag & no spelling errors:

Spell checker runs correctly and responds with “Spell check complete: No misspellings found” message. Clicking OK returns to the edit screen with no apparent problems.

Any ideas what would cause this?

Could you paste the sample HTML code to reproduce it and let me know which browser are you using?

oops..

FF3.0.6
IE7.0

<fieldset><legend>Information</legend>
<p> Spellling mistakke</p>
</fieldset>

Exactly the same response in both browsers.

Sorry for late reply, are you still able to reproduce it using FCKeditor 2.6.4?
Does it work for you here: http://www.fckeditor.net/demo ?

Thanks for the follow up. I never thought of testing it on the fckeditor demo site...

A quick check shows that the fckeditor.net 2.6.4 demo does not use SpellerPages. The demo now uses spellchecker.net which does work with fieldset. Unfortunately spellchecker.net is not an option due to embedded advertising or additional costs.

I have not updated my test site to 2.6.4 but will do so and report findings.

Ah sorry, I didn't note that you were actually talking about SpellerPages. I'll take a look at it later, just let me know if this issue still exists in 2.6.4 (or better, in the latest nightly build).

Bug is still active.

I haven't followed up with testing of current version of FCKeditor as suggested by WWALC. Will try to find some time today or tomorrow and report back.

Version: 5.x-2.2-rc7 » 5.x-2.2

Spent a bunch of time testing with updated module and FCKeditor with no solution. Google search returned nothing specific so made a bug report to FCKeditor.
See http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/3915

My test results:

test 1
-FCKeditor 2.6.1
-updated fckeditor module from 5x-2.2-rc7 to 5x-2.2
-result: same problem. SpellerPages chokes and fails to work when it encounters tag.

Test 2
-FCKeditor 2.6.1
-fckeditor module 5x-2.2
-added words containing spelling errors before tag.
-result: SpellerPages finds and corrects mispelt words before tag, but stops at tag. Corrections lost when SpellerPages is cancelled.

Test 3
-updated FCKeditor from '2.6.1' to '2.6.4.1'.
-fckeditor module 5x-2.2
-same problem. No change with updates to module and FCKeditor.

I'll close this one then, I hope your FCKeditor bug gets resolved.
