1. Any update on this? I’m having a similar problem that is IE9 only.

2. Any updates on this?.I am having an issue with this.

3. For this specific problem I added the below javascript to the page as a fix …. hackish not a real solution

   function GetEventTarget(a){
   ULSA13:;
   if(!a) return {};
   if(!IsSupportedMacBrowser())
   return a.srcElement;
   if(a.srcElement)
   return a.srcElement;
   return a.target
   }

4. I got error in IE:

   SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property ‘news_archive_long_desc’: object is null or undefined

   The script line is:
   CKEDITOR.instances.news_archive_long_desc.setData(”);

   Any one knows to solving this problem pls update this

5. Any progress with this ?

6. Thanks. It works for me.

7. I have the same issue.

   I have a ListBox which have both RequriedFieldValidator and ListSearchExtender. But whenever I change the selection of the ListBox and click anywhere in the page, a JavaScript error occurs. The function that throws the error is ValidatorOnChange, the event is null. This is only happens on IE9.

   Does any know how to fix this? As for Matt’s solution, where do I apply it?

8. Where should apply the code?

9. Gaolai..you are doing exactly what I am doing…with the requiredfield validator and listsearchextender and I have the same error. I get the error on the same function that you do. Were you able to solve it?

10. Whoops…well…Matt’s solution works. Just put it anywhere on your aspx page in your content tags. Thanks Matt!

11. So I can only get Matt’s script to work the 2nd or 3rd time around. The initial page load seems to have it broken. Any ideas?

12. Any other solutions? I’ve tried Matt’s one, but that function is never fired so just adding that js to my page doesn’t work. Thank you.
