In SS 3.02 and 3.03 there's an issue where the SS additions to the TinyMCE editor are not correctly loading the dimensions and alignment from the HTML.

When I click on an image in the TinyMCE editor and click on the ssbuttons.insertmedia button I get a TypeError:

Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'getAttribute'

Trace:
. (anonymous function)

. (anonymous function)jquery.entwine-dist.js:677?

. firejquery.js:1075?
. self.fireWithjquery.js:1193?
. donejquery.js:7553?
. callbackjquery.js:8324?

I don't know how to go from here as HtmlEditorField.js has a lot of information for a newcomer.

The dimensions in the Update Media pane are set to the image dimensions or to the maximum width an image can be. Alignment is set to align left. So it's just like how it would be when you add a new image.
If clients want to change alignment they have to set the current image dimensions manually and then change the alignment.

I've tested this in the latest Chrome 22.0.1229.92 and Firefox 16.0.2.

I'm new to SS, I tried to find existing bug reports but couldn't find any.

It doesn't happen with all images. I couldn't find a pattern in it yet.

This works for me:

https://github.com/hermiteu/sapphire/commit/32610565b1b4b5cf003b58ed5aaef202c1a9e476

Fixes the JS error and updates the dimensions and alignment correctly.

I haven't read about Entwine yet, maybe it's not needed to create a new updateFromNode() method but inherit it from another DOM element? I have no idea if that makes sense, I understand Entwine uses DOM elements as objects.

Looks fixed to me.
