FCKEditor was named by Frederico C Knabben (a Dutchman I believe) who wrote it. Over time a lot of English speakers suggested he find another name for his product, because of the obvious issue when it's used in English. More than once I've had a client call me and ask why I'm putting obscene messages on the web site. With this latest version he's listened to the English-speakers and dropped the F from the name.
The version of FCKEditor shipped with CF8 was not as cross-browser compatible as more recent versions. When FCKEditor is called by a browser it doesnt know about it renders a simple textarea instead. The solution is to upgrade the version of FCKEditor in your CFIDE folder by downloading a newer version of FCKEditor from fckeditor.net and installing it into /cfforms/scripts/ajax/FCKEditor or learning how to use the awesome configuration power of FCKEditor and put your own version in your site, then configure it how you want. There are a lot of resources for configuring FCKEditor in the web site at FCKEditor.net - including some documentation about how to integrate it into coldfusion forms.
