RadEditor problem when hyperlink contains >

[margan]

Hi,

First the problem occurs in IE not in Firefox.

I have this string in html view: <a href="http://TEST?TestId=<%TEST_GUID%>">here</a>

In Firefox it looks like this:

HTML View: <a href="http://TEST?TestId=<%TEST_GUID%>">here</a>
Switch to design: here
Switch to HTML: <a href="http://TEST?TestId=<%TEST_GUID%>">here</a>

In IE 11

HTML View: <a href="http://TEST?TestId=<%TEST_GUID%>">here</a>
Switch to design: ">here
Switch to HTML: <a href="http://TEST?TestId=<%TEST_GUID% originalAttribute=" href"="" test?testid='<%TEST_GUID%"'>"&gt;here</a>

As you can see editing this in IE alway crashes the hyperlink.

Is there any way to fix this?

Hi margan,

Such a value for the href attribute is invalid HTML and cannot be expected to work. Browsers attempt to fix it in different ways (for example, Firefox will encode the < and > symbols) and RadEditor also expects valid HTML strings, otherwise the commands and parsing logic may break.

What I can suggest is that you look into other ways to delimit the querystring values that are valid HTML. For example, you can replace the < and > symbols with an allowed symbol.
