[Solved] Custom DropDownList ItemValue different from what is set on the server

[Eric]

I'm adding values to a custom DropDownList on the server w/ the following format:

<img fieldName=\"{0}\" tableName=\"{1}\" alt=\"[{2}]\" style=\"font-weight: bold\" />

When the user selects one of the values in the DropDownList, the OnClientCommandExecuting pastes the value of the selectedItem
as follows:

function templateEditorOnClientCommandExecuting(sender, eventArgs)
            {
                var name = eventArgs.get_name();
                var val = eventArgs.get_value();

                if(name == "Fields")
                {
                    if(val != null && val != '')
                    {
                        sender.pasteHtml(val);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        alert('Select a Template Type first');
                    }

                    eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
                }
            }

The pasted value is as follows:

<img style=\"font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"[Address]\" tablename=\"Organization\" fieldname=\"MailAddress1\" />

Why is the order of the attributes of my img element on the client different than what I explicitly set on the server?  I'm trying to write a regular expression to do a replace of the img tag when the form is submitted, but I'm not able to due to the issue described above.

Hello Eric,

The content area of RadEditor is editable IFRAME which uses the underlining Rich Text Editing engine of the browser where it operates. The observed behavior is browser behavior and it is the browser that rearranges the attributes order in the HTML tags. You can reproduce the same behavior in the attached HTML page having an editable IFRAME elements in it as well as in our competitors' editors.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to control this browser behavior with code and override it.
