Hi, I'm working on a site in development with a client of mine. We're using WP 2.9.2 and RB Internal Links 2.0.11.

I do my work on a Mac running Firefox, and when I'm editing a post or page the RB Internal Links button is visible in the editor.

However, my client who works on a Windows machine in IE7, cannot see the button in the wysiwyg editor. We've tried this on a couple of computers, with a couple of different administrative-level logins, and the problem occurs in both places.

I have a bajillion other plugins and functions, but anything I can do to help troubleshoot this, please let me know!

Ditto. Loads Mac only. Think it's a javascript issue with TinyMCE?

IE8 Loads it fine though.

Hey scormeny,

If you get the chance, install http://www.debugbar.com/download.php, try to load RB Internal Links and post back any javascript errors it pops up.

I can check IE7 at work on Monday, but I think I'd have more complaints if it were an IE7 problem, so it is probably an incompatibility with something else.

RB, thanks very much for the advice. I am not able to do this today, but will definitely try to take care of it tomorrow (Tuesday) and get back to you with any useful results. I'm also going through a more general plugins-conflicts-testing process as we close in on launch, and so if that brings up any obvious conflicts I'll let you know so you can either proof your plugin against others' errors or let users know about the conflict.

Thanks again!

Hi, RB. I have installed the debugbar toolbar and have it working.

I have turned off all of the plugins on my site in Wordpress 2.9.2, and then edited a Post in IE 7. No error messages came up. Then I turned on JUST RB Internal Links, no other plugins. In Firefox on my Mac, I can see the RB Internal Links button in the editor. But, in IE 7 on my Windows machine, I cannot. So that seems to rule out a plugins incompatibility.

When I go to edit a Post in IE 7 with RB Internal Links and no other plugins activated, here's the error message I'm getting:
```
Line: 21
Character: 5
Code: 0
Error Message: Expected identifier, string or number
Page: [myurl]/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=589
```

I think I've found the problem. Would you mind confirming it fixes the issue for you?
1. Open up rb-internal-links/tinymce/editor_plugin.js
2. On line 19, remove the "," (comma) from the end of the line
3. Save file
4. Try using RB Internal Links again :)
To confirm, change:

popup_css : false, to popup_css : false

Yes, I tested it.

First, to be sure, I went to visit a Post editing page without making the change to editor_plugins.js, and I could not see the button on the editor.

Then, I made the change to editor_plugins.js, and reloaded the Post editing page. And, now I can see the button.

Thanks so much, RB!

No problem, the bug is testament to how annoying IE is to code for! ;)
