Issue with ckeditor working

Hello, I've installed the ckeditor onto a few different websites for customers here at inmotionhosting. Once it is installed and I go to work with the pages, the tool bar lines up differently sometimes. Then certain buttons won't do what they're supposed to do. Could that be some type of php issue or could it be the difference in the launch hosting as opposed to the power plan? It's very strange that it works most of the time but not everytime. All the ckeditor files are identical on each web site so they should work the same every time. I don't think it is a permissions issue but am open to any ideas.

Thank you for any help

Hi rockwelsh, Could that be some type of php issue or could it be the difference in the launch hosting as opposed to the power plan? I searched the web, but I couldn't find any server requirements for ckeditor. I then downloaded ckeditor and unzipped it on my desktop. I browsed through the files and there doesn't appear to be any php files. ckeditor appears to be run off of of JavaScript, not php or any other server side script. JavaScript runs on the user's browser entirely. The server simply sends the browser the .js files, and then the browser runs all of the javascript code in those files. If the ckeditor is not working for you, even intermittently, I would suspect one of two things: Ensure the ckeditor javascript files are called without any 404 errors 1. The ckeditor javascript files may not be called correctly. For example, the path to the files may be wrong in your html code, resulting in 404 errors, and this could cause issues. Check to see if there are any javascript errors 2. You may have some sort of jQuery / ckeditor conflict occurring (if you're running jQuery, or some other JavaScript framework). I recommend using your browser's javascript console to see if there are any errors occurring when ckeditor is not working for you. I hope this helps point you in the right direction! We're here if you have any additional questions.
