Incompatible Markup Pointers Revisited

 

Last December I wrote about the Incompatible Markup Pointers exception in IE. I've been able to pinpoint the source of the exception more exactly: it occurs if you want to paste HTML into a TextRange, and the window the parent element of the TextRange belongs to does not have focus.

I've made two test cases, one where the window does not receive focus, and one where it does. Judge for yourself!

Hello, Mark.
Thank for your researching on this. May be following information would be interesting to you.
Currently I working on w5g editor in my company, and we got that exception when inserting emoticons in tinyMCE-based editor. We have tried to use same solution--focus on window before inserting--but still got this error.
Feel free to contact me at doctor.hogart[at]gmail dot com.
