MakePathsAbsolute error

[Michelle]

Greetings,

I have been recently evaluating the RadEditor lite in my MOSS 2007 standard farm.  We are pleased with the cross-platform improvements.

However, when you enter a URL in the form of say http://proxy.com:port  and then hit a space afterwards, it automatically makes it a link and then pops up an error that says "Error while executing filter MakePathsAbsolute - [object error]"

I see this listed as fixed in http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/whats-new/release-history/q1-2008-sp1-version-2008-1-515.aspx your q1-2008-sp1 fix. 

Does the Lite version not include bug fixes?  If not, does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

No update or advice on this issue?

Hi Michelle,

Add the following javascript code the the MOSSEditorTools.js file, which is located in the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\4.5.6.0__1f131a624888eeed\RadControls\Editor\Scripts\7_3_6 folder.

RadEditorNamespace.MakePathsAbsolute.prototype._updateElements = function(contentElement, tagName, attrName)
{
    var tempDiv = contentElement.ownerDocument.createElement("div");
    var elements = this._getElements(contentElement, tagName);
    if (elements)
    {
        for (var i=0;i<elements.length;i++)
        {
            var attrValue = elements[i].getAttribute(attrName, 2);
            if ("href" == attrName && attrValue)
            {
                tempDiv.innerHTML = "<a href=\""+attrValue.replace(/\"/gi,"%22") + "\">test</a>";
                if (window.RadControlsNamespace.Browser.IsIE)
                {
                    var origContent = elements[i].innerHTML;
                }
                elements[i].setAttribute("href", tempDiv.childNodes[0].getAttribute("href", 2));
                if (window.RadControlsNamespace.Browser.IsIE)
                {
                    //IE only issue - when setting the href attribute of a link and the link text also looks
                    //like a link/email then the text is overridden with the new href. We need to restore the
                    //original content
                    if ((origContent.indexOf("www.") == 0 && elements[i].innerHTML.match("[a-z]+://")) ||
                        (origContent.indexOf("mailto:") == -1 && elements[i].innerHTML.match("mailto:")))
                    {
                        elements[i].innerHTML = origContent;
                    }
                }
            }
            else if ("src" == attrName && attrValue)
            {
                tempDiv.innerHTML = "<img src=\""+attrValue.replace(/\"/gi,"%22") + "\" />";
                elements[i].setAttribute("src", tempDiv.childNodes[0].src);
            }
        }
    }
    tempDiv.innerHTML = "";
    tempDiv = null;
}

This should fix the issue.
