Editor - Bullet List Internet Explorer Bug

[Manuel Mayr]

Hi,

There is a problem with the editor and using MS Internet Explorer (any Version) by converting selected text into a bullet list.

What i'm doing:

Write three lines:

first line
second line
third line.

Select the three lines and press the button "Bullet List".

Results:

FireFox does everything fine:

• first line
• second line
• third line

Internet Explorer does something like this:

• first line

      second line
      third line

You can try this with the demo examples on this hompage.

Hopefully anybody can help me to find a fix.

Thanks in advance

Hi Manuel,

This is behavior result of the implementation of the NewLineBr property. We intend to change it in future, but I can not give you an exact estimation of when this will happen. How ever you can find a custom workaround
in the following KB article http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/applying-indentation-or-alignment-per-line.aspx. It is called Applying indentation or alignment per line, but following the steps described in it will do the job in your case as well.

Hi Viðar,

We enhanced the InsertOrederedList and InsertUnorderedList tools of RadEditor and I am unable to reproduce the problem with the latest Q3 2009 version. You can see my test in the attached video. Are you able to replicate the problem with the Default Example.

Sincerely,

Hi,

Thank you for your response. Yes I am able to reproduce this problem in your demo editor. I made a video of the error and you can download it at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1785485/Telerik_error1.zip

Hi Viðar,

Thank you for the provided video!

This is a limitation of the custom implementation of the InsertOrderedList and InsertUnorderedList commands. I logged the problem to our bug tracking system for further research and added 500 Telerik points to your account for reporting it.

You can fix the problem by setting the editor's NewLineBr property to false. Therefore the editor will use the browsers' InsertOrderedList and InsertUnorderedList commands for list creation.
When this property is set to false, the editor will insert a <p> tag on enter key press. The paragraph tags have a default margin, which you can reduce by putting the following class in the page with RadEditor:

P

{

margin:0px;

}

Hi,

This forum thread is old and the Public Issue Tracking system was still not available at that time. That is why I could not provide a live URL to the issue.

Are you able to reproduce the problem in the latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX? You can test the live demos of RadEditor. If yes, could you please record the problem with Jing or another screen recording tool and send it for examination?
