Hi all. Is there a way with the Editor control to provide functionality to end-users such that they may embed application-relative URLs within the HTML? For example, I'd like end-users to be able to have tags like the following:
<a href="~/SomePage.aspx">Some Page</a>
<img src="~/images/someImage.gif" />
To have such references render within the WYSIWYG editing mode would be ideal - is there a way to support that? I am thinking that a custom filter could address the issue for Preview mode, but is there a way to handle this in the editing mode?

Hello,
The editor is rendered in the browser as a client control, so it has no knowledge where the current application directory is. As you already pointed out, the only way to use application relative URLs is to have a custom client filter, which will replace the ~ with the current application folder on the client. You can also have another filter on the server, which converts the URLs back to application relative (i.e. starting with "~/"). This way the editor content will be stored with relative URLs and you will be able to move the application without breaking the links.
