How to prevent RadEditor from adding non-breaking spaces to the end of line?

[jgill]

Hello,
I am having an issue where I have a multi-line RadEditor and when the user enters any text into the editor then submits that content to be saved to the database, RadEditor is adding a non-breaking space (see attachment).  I wanted to know how this can be prevented in the RadEditor through configuration instead of lots of find and replaces each time a RadEditor is used.

In SQL Server this is CHAR(13)+CHAR(10) in UTF-8 encoding on Regex.Replace(Input, "\u00A0", "").

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" AllowScripts="True">
<Content>
</Content>
                    </telerik:RadEditor>

Hi jgill,

RadEditor is adding \r\n symbols to the content for readability. Due to them when the editor's content is displayed in Html mode or in the Database it will be readable.

If you do not want these line-feed and line breaks in the produced content you can use the Trim method of the Content server property:

RadEditor1.Content = RadEditor1.Content.Trim(); .

Another approach is to replace the line-feed and new line with empty string using the Replace method

RadEditor1.Content = RadEditor1.Content.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "");

Hi,

You can get reference to RadEditor using the code similar to the one below:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

{

   if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)

   {

     GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;

     RadEditor Editor = (RadEditor)dataItem["Note"].Controls[0];//"Note" is the current row in which the editor resides


     Editor.Content = Editor.Content.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "");

  }

}

Here is additional way to get reference to RadEditor in RadGrid:

protected void notes_grid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
  // insert mode
     if (e.Item is GridDataInsertItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted)
 {
      GridDataInsertItem insertItem = (GridDataInsertItem)e.Item;
    RadEditor Editor = (RadEditor)insertItem["Note"].Controls[0];
       Editor.Content = Editor.Content.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "");
     }

  // edit mode
 if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
 {
    GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
           RadEditor Editor = (RadEditor)editItem["Note"].Controls[0];
       Editor.Content = Editor.Content.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "");
   }
}

If this does not help, provide a simple working demo that demonstrates the problem.
