So it appears that the latest version of the CuteEditor (6.7) is not working in IE11 when it is loaded onto a webpage that contains the following in the <head>:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" /> . .
or any other content="IE=x" . . besides where x is 11
the editor loads . . but if you are programmatically setting text to the CuteEditor.Text property . . . that content within the editor never loads.
