Browser differences.

[Uwe Eichkorn]

Hi there

we've detected different behaviours within the editor using different browsers.

Example for reproducing

1. Go to "http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx"
2. Choose new Lines as: Paragraphs
3. Change to the HTML view and remove the existing content.
4. Type in this <div>Hello</div>
5. Change back to the Design view
6. Press enter after the word "Hello" and type in "World"
7. Change to HTML view

The generated html in Firefox is formated like this (this is our preferred code)

<div>
<p>Hello</p>
<p>World</p>
</div>

The generated html in IE and Opera is formated like this

<div>Hello</div>
<div>World</div>

The generated html in Safari is formated like this

<p>Hello</p>
<p>World</p

Thanks
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

These are browser related issues due to the rich text editing engine of the browser where RadEditor operates. Nevertheless, I logged them in the PITS system for improvement.

I also updated your Telerik points.

Hi Rumen,

is it possible to unify this behaviour for the different browsers? We use the RADeditor as a integrated part of the sitecore cms and it would be nice when all the content authors would generate the same html code.

Thanks & Regards
Uwe

Hello Uwe,

It is very difficult to change existing browser behaviors because each browser behaves differently. For example IE inserts a <p> tag on enter key press, Firefox a <br/> tag, Chrome / Safari insert a <div> tag.

We are continuously working on improving the NewLineBr functionality and in Q1 2010 (version 2010.1.309) we provided support for paragraph insertion in Safari / Chrome when pressing Enter.

We will research the reported behaviors in details and try to unify them in the different browsers. You can check the status of our progress in this PITS item: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/aspnet-ajax/1872.

Kind regards,
Rumen
