Backspace leaves html tags

[Avinash]

Hi,
I am using RadEditor and custom validation to check whether number of characters is more than 1000 (including html tags).
Here is the code part,
     <radE:RadEditor StripFormattingOnPaste="noneSupressCleanMessage" Height="100px" Width="98%"
                                        ID="_LongDescription" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoadDetails" >
                                    </radE:RadEditor>

When i use the backspace to delete the text, text is getting removed but html tags still remains same. I am facing this problem while performing validation.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Avinash,

Are you able to reproduce the problem in the following demo: Validators?

You can also try to select the whole content with Ctrl+A and after that to delete it using BackSpace or Delete.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.

When i perform CTRL+A and delete/backspace, its working fine. Only when i use backspace, text is getting removed and when i navigate to html mode, i can still see html tags.

This happens only when i copy and paste some text to rad editor.

Here is scenario,

1. Type some text in winword, bold some text, give some colors to text.
2. Copy this text and paste it to rad editor
3. Using backsapce delete all the text (dont use ctrl+a and delete/backsapce)
     Here just to get the clear idea i am telling to delete all the text.
4. Navigate to html mode, you can still see html tags!!!!

i hope you got my point.

Thanks,

Hello Avinash,

This is a behavior of the rich text editing engine of the browser. The content area of RadEditor is a standard editable IFRAME element and the delete process is controlled by the browser itself.

 You can strip the remaining tags either through the DOM Inspector module, manually in the HTML Viewer module or by switching to HTML mode as shown in this video: http://screencast.com/t/dkvnieR5pwS.

All the best,
