This is very strange behavior. The TinyMCE Editor is avaialble in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE it is not available.
Only Textarea is available in the IE9.
First off thanks for letting us know. We have heard about some issues with IE9 and TinyMCE and are looking into it.
If not available at all can you let us know if you are running IE9 in compatibility mode when this happens or if compatibility mode is turned off.
If you do have it turned on then I would be interested in what happens when turned off. If it does the same or something different.
I am not running IE in compability mode. However, I tried compability mode too. Same results, i.e. TinyMCe not available in IE9 with or without compability mode.
When do you think, you could have a fix? The majority of members are using IE and are complaining/shouting about editor not being available to them.
Actually I am unaware of any specific problems between tinyMCE and IE9 or anything that needs fixing.
Can you check for javascript errors or conflicts? I am not sure how you do this using IE9 as I don’t have a PC but there has to be some way to do it…?
Right now, nothing known to fix. Working just fine in IE9 for other users and us in our test sites. Something local on your site We will need to help you track down. On Aug 30, 2012 6:23 AM, “Simple:Press Support” wrote:

I had been trying to investigate it. I noticed that only on Simple:Press Forum page the Captcha and TinyMCE tool bars are not showing in IE. Everything works fine in FireFox and Chrome. Also the TinyMCE and other plugins which require java works just fine on other pages. The problems are only on SimplePress Forum page on IE9.
I have pined down the problem to your several plugins on IE9. I disabled all the plugins except TinyMCE plugin for SP. The TinyMCE worked fine on all the browsers. I started activating plugins one by one and after several hours of playing around with plugins ON/OFF, the following culprits were identified. If I activate anyone of the following plugin, the TintMCE disappear and only Textarea is available in IE9.
Topic Description
Topic Status
Uploads Viewer
Watches
Who’s Online
Apparantly these plugins are causing Java conflicts on my system. Any suggestions, on how to fix it?
Well no – we do test with those plugins active as well.
How about you give us a link to your forum page?
I have traced it to ShareThis Plugin from WordPress, Those plugins conflicts with ShareThis plugin. If I disable ShareThis plugin, your plugins Topic Description, Topic Status, Uploads Viewer, Watches and Who’s Online have no conflicts with TinyMCE plugin. However once WP ShareThis plugin is activated, and anyone of the above mentioned Simple Press plugin is activated tool bars for TinyMCE disappear.
Have you test it with ShareThis plugin?
The link to the site is http://www.shaadiconnections.com/forum. Right now, I have ShareThis plugin disabled. I will activate it so you can see it yourself.
Thanks
One more issue I noticed, with ShareThis plugin activated, a user can only read posts posted by Administrator. Posts by other members show blank. In IE9, it is all messed up.
Further update. I disabled the ShareThis plugin and manually inserted the ShareThis code into my WP Theme template. Now two plugins Topic Status and Who’s Online are cuaisng TinyMCE problem. Anyone of them activated give TinyMCE problem.
And my SimplePress Error log file is full of the following errors:

of course it would be IE… and it does have different js engine than any other browser…
that combination you mention, as you know, is not a problem in the real browsers… still anxiously awaiting IE 10… I know that does not help you… time permitting we can try to gather that plugin, I use it on a few of my sites, and see if any obvious reason why they might not like each other… and just a clarification, but it wont by our plugins not liking tinycme, but share this… 
as to your error log, the last set are not errors, but harmless notices… the line 364 one is already removed in the next version…
I am a little confused by the topic status one… have you been enabling and disabling the plugin (ie in researching the js conflict)? I would expect potentially to see it once on activation if the db entry already exists since mysql does not give you an easy way to check for existence before doing db entries… and its not a fatal error, just continues on fine… so if you are not uinstallling or disabling frequently, I would be concerned…
I have had and still have the same problem. Now I have given up and simply told my members to get a real browser. We’ll just hope the problem solves itself when IE gets updated to version 10.
I have read all the threads and tried everything but nothing helps.
As Mr Papa said above – IE uses it’s own and different Javascript engine so clearly what is not a problem to Mozilla/Webkit browsers causes issues with IE. My question above in post 4 still stands if anyone can supply the information.
