[Solved] HTML reformatting bug

[Ramon Achten]

Hi,

I’ve discovered a bug in the editor version 2009.2 826.

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to HTML view
2. Paste the following HTML into the editor:
   

   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
       <tbody>
           <tr>
               <td valign="top">
                   <img width="24px" height="20px" src="http://www.telerik.com/App_Themes/ProductOverview/quotmark-left.gif" alt="" />
               </td>
               <td>
                   <a href="#left-item-1" style="font-family: arial, verdana, helvetica; color: #000000;
                       font-size: 11px; text-decoration: none;">left item 1</a>
               </td>
           </tr>
       </tbody>
   </table>

3. Go to Design view
4. Go to HTML view
5. Now the “height” and “width” attributes of the IMG tag are duplicated. Also, they’ve lost the “px” indicator.

 

Is there a way to disable the HTML reformatting of the editor completely? If not, I would like to suggest it for a future version of the editor. For us, it’s very (very!) important to leave the HTML exactly as it is provided by us.

Thanks,
Ramon

Hi Ramon,

Please, excuse us for the inconvenience. We are aware of this problem and I have good news that it is already fixed in the Q3 2009 beta build of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. You can test it online here. The official Q3 release is scheduled for the beginning of November.

Kind regards,

Hi Rumen,

Thanks for that. I'll test it in the lastest beta.

What about the ability to disable the HTML reformatting of the editor completely? This is of utmost importance to us.

Best regards,
Ramon

Hi Ramon,

It is impossible to completely disable the HTML reformatting because the editor's content area is an editable IFRAME which uses the Rich Text Editing engine of the browser. If the content is not well formed or contains invalid tags / attributes the browser validates the content and changes it. Internet Explorer also repositions the attributes inside the tags and this cannot be stopped.

What you can do is to disable the RadEditor built-in filters and leave the browser to manige the production and formatting of the HTML content.
