Flash in Editor automatically duplicate values

[Rizwan]

Hi
 We are using 2009-1-402-35 version of telerik. Using that please  open Editor, click HTML, Remove text if any and paste this

 

<object height="350" align="middle" width="350" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" id="Test">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="FlashVars" value="dataAge=30&amp;mainCaption=TESTING  (SOME 30 days)">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false">
<param name="movie" value="../Test.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
<embed style="vertical-align: middle;" src="../Test.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Test" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="server=dataAge=30&amp;mainCaption=TESTING(SOME 30 days)" width="350" height="350">
</object>

Now Click Design and then click Back HTML and you will notice that All Params are duplicated automatically and originalPath attribute is automatically added. The auto updated Flash tag is below, I have set the first duplicated line bold and you can compare the following lines as well.

<OBJECT id=Test codeBase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" classid=clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000 width=350 align=middle height=350>
<param NAME="allowScriptAccess" VALUE="always"/>
<param NAME="FlashVars" VALUE="dataAge=30&amp;mainCaption=TESTING  (SOME 30 days)"/>
<param NAME="allowFullScreen" VALUE="false"/>
<param NAME="movie" VALUE="../Test.swf"/>
<param NAME="quality" VALUE="high"/>
<param NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#ffffff"/>

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/>
<param name="FlashVars" value="dataAge=30&amp;mainCaption=TESTING  (SOME 30 days)"/>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false"/>
<param name="movie" value="../Test.swf"/>
<param name="quality" value="high"/>
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/>

<embed style="vertical-align: middle;" src="../Test.swf" originalAttribute="src" originalPath="../Test.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Test" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="server=dataAge=30&amp;mainCaption=TESTING(SOME 30 days)" width="350" height="350">
</OBJECT>


We are about to release our current version of application and unable to upgrade to latest version at this time, Any help with this specific telerik version would be highly appreciated.

Hello Rizwan,

I am not aware of this problem in the older version 2009-1-402-35, but my recommendation is to upgrade to the latest one 2010.2 713 where this problem is not reproducible. If you are unable to replicate the problem in the Default Settings demo, please, upgrade and this should solve the problem.

If you still experience any problems with the latest build, please, isolate them in a sample working project and send it via a support ticket with instructions how to reproduce them.

Best regards,

Hi!

This issue can be reproduced in IE8 on the latest version.

Scenario:
1. Open Built-in Content Filters demo (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/builtincontentfilters/defaultcs.aspx)
2. Disable ConvertToXhtml filter
3. Paste html from above
4. Switch to design and back to html

I cannot enable ConvertToXhtml filter in my solution because with the same scenario it adds attributes like this:

visible="function() {
var a = update([this], arguments);
return __method.apply(null, a);
}" toggle="function() {
var a = update([this], arguments);
return __method.apply(null, a);
}" hide="function() {
var a = update([this], arguments);
return __method.apply(null, a);
}"

Hi Michael,

The content area of RadEditor is an editable IFRAME element which uses the Rich Text Editing engine of the browser to render and produce HTML content. There are multiple browser problems that are fixed by the editor's content filter and once of them is the reported one by you.
It is the ConvertToXhtml filter of RadEditor that corrects the object / embed tags and keeps them unchanged by the browser.

I made a test with the provided content with enabled ConvertToXhtml filter, but I was unable to reproduce the problem with addition of visible attributes. You can see my test at: http://screencast.com/t/uQWyf5Zw. Are you able to reproduce it in the ContentFilters demo?

Hi Rumen!

This issue can be reproduced on Default Settings demo(http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx)

Hello Michael,

Can you please provide sample HTML content so that we can reproduce the problem on our end? It would be also very helpful to record your scenario with Jing and show the video demonstrating the problem.

Sincerely yours,

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the video.

I was able to reproduce the problem and was able to solve it by enabling the MakeUrlsAbsolute content filter. Please, enable this filter and this will fix the issue on your end.

Hi Rumen!

Yes, enabling the MakeUrlsAbsolute content filter did the trick.

Thank you.
