I was wondering if anyone could help me with a javascript error which appears upon page load. It only appears in internet explorer,
This person appears to have solved the problem but does not explain where abouts they made the change required.

Hello Kevin,
This is a difficult issue as the init code for the editor item is being generated internally by the APEX engine, and we don’t have any control over it. As I see it, a complete solution can only be provided by the APEX team.
Until then I’m using a workaround, based on the original init code. The FCK Editor takes a standard textarea and convert it into the editor item, based on its init parameters.
First I’m uploading the FCK JavaScript code, using the page HTML Header Text (If you are using the editor a lot, you can define a page template to do that for you). The code is:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/i/fck/fckeditor.js"></script>Now I’m using a regular textarea item as the base item for the editor. I’m using a regular onload event to init this item:
onload="initFCK('P80_MY_EDITOR');"The JavaScript function I’m using is similar to the following:
function initFCK(pItem) {
            var oFCKeditor        = new FCKeditor(pItem) ;
            oFCKeditor.BasePath   = "/i/fck/" ;
            oFCKeditor.Width      = '760';
            oFCKeditor.Height     = '105';
            oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet = 'Basic' ;
            oFCKeditor.Config[ "AutoDetectLanguage" ] = false;
            oFCKeditor.Config[ "DefaultLanguage" ]    = "en";
            oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
}Of course, the init parameters can be changed according to your specific needs.
This code works fine on IE and FF (didn’t check other clients).

Arie.
