    Hi all,

    I know this has been covered in forums, but I’m using a fresh copy of 0.9.6.2 and still have the following problems using <quickedit:content /> for Internet Explorer 6/7:

    -no "Edit content" button shows up. This is a CSS problem (fixed by removing the class=’QE_link’ in output.class.inc.php)
    -clicking on the now showing "Edit content" link gives a "qe undefined" javascript error

    This all works fine in Firefox, but it is a real shame it’s not working in IE. I’ve tried all the forum suggestions but to no avail.

    Could someone shed any light on this?

      No idea why it’s not working other than that bit of code hasn’t been given any attention for a couple of years. Have you tried using the [*#content*] method?

        Hi, and thanks for the reply.

        I tried [*#content*] to no avail. Is there an alternative plugin that people use for on-page editing? My users find it much easier to click the "Edit content" button on a page they’re viewing than navigating through the manager.

        Why is quickedit still bundled with MODx if it has stopped working for years?

          It’s never stopped working for me. It may be something unique to your particular environment.

            Hi Ryan,

            I tried using the minimal template and lo-and-behold it works fine. Narrowing things down I had some conflicting javascript in my template, which, once removed, made everything work!

            Thanks for your patience and hard work,
