Markup is shown properly in the HTML view of the RadEditor, but is striped when rendered on the page.

Here is my HTML as shown in the RadEditor:

    
            <p><img alt="the other" src="/PublishingImages/Signing-4730x.jpg" /></p>  
        
            <p>this<br /> 
        
            test</p>

Note the end tags on BR and IMG, but when the page is rendered I get this:

    
            <p><img alt="the other" src="/PublishingImages/Signing-4730x.jpg"></p> 
        
            <p>this<br> 
        
            test</p>

For both the img and the br tags the closing / is removed. How can I prevent this from happenging?

Hello,

The behavior you experienced is part of the MOSS publishing sites implementation and we do not have control over it. The editor submits what you see in HTML mode. After that MOSS applies some content filters which modify the content before saving it in the SharePoint database. These filters sometimes break XHTML compliance (removing quotes from attributes or not properly closing tags). As I said, this happens after the content leaves the editor so we have no control over it. You can verify this by entering the same content into a RadEditor web part (content editor web part). Since no filters are applied there, the content you see in HTML mode will remain the same in presentation mode.
