Hi,
For some reason, when a user clears text from a radeditor, the editor actually contains a "<p> </p>" when the form is posted.
To be clear: a user opens a web page with a radeditor and there is "Some text" in the control. The user clicks in the control and clears out all the text. To the user, the box looks clear. When the form is posted, we have some javascript that checks the control to validate the text. What it is finding is "<p> </p>" while I would expect to find "".
How can we correct this behavior?
Here is the text of my control:

Width="415px" OnClientLoad="SetCorrectSize" EditModes="Design" EnableResize="False" Skin="Office2007"> <Tools>
<telerik:EditorToolGroup>
<telerik:EditorTool Name="AjaxSpellCheck" />
</telerik:EditorToolGroup>
</Tools>
</telerik:RadEditor>
Thanks!

Hi Richard,
The empty paragraph is added by Internet Explorer and this is a default browser behavior. However when the FixEnclosingP content filter of RadEditor is enabled (it is enabled by default) then this tag will be stripped by RadEditor.
Please see the attached video for more information. You will see that the FixEnclosingP filter will strip the paragraph tag added by the browser when submitting the content or switching to another View mode of the control.
The video has RAR compression and can be extracted with WinRar or 7-Zip.
