Hi There,

I am having an issue where everytime I switch back and forth from html view and design view, empty <p> tags are being added.  The first time I switch back and forth it adds <p>&nbsp;</p> and everytime after that it adds <p></p>.  So if I switch back and forth 4 times I get.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<p></p> 
<p></p>

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks.

Hi Dan Swayze,

You can get this error if you edit non well formed HTML content and switch between the Html and Design modes of RadEditor.

The Rich Text Editing engine of the browser that RadEditor's content area IFRAME uses, tries to validate the non well formed content and the <p> tags in it but without success and produces new non valid XHTML content.

This invalid XHTML content misleads the ConvertToXhtml content filter of RadEditor and the editor starts to produce extra paragraphs with every switch between Html and Design mode or when submitting the content. To stop this behavior you can disable the ConvertToXhtml filter

RadEditor1.DisableFilter(Telerik.Web.UI.EditorFilters.ConvertToXhtml);

or instruct your users to validate the content before submitting it using the W3C validator dialog of RadEditor and manually correct it.
