Hello,

I just wanted to report another issue with the RadEditor Control and support for IE9 using the latest release build 2011.1.413.35.

Apparently, the control is adding in a bunch of junk (trying to duplicate and then format the doctype and head sections). Here's what I get when I use it normally (in ConvertToXhtml):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></meta><title>Test</title><style type="text/css">p { margin-top: 10px; }</style></head><body>

<!--CTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt-->

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></meta><title>Test</title><style type="text/css">p { margin-top: 10px; }</style>begin my text

Here's what I should get and DO get when I use the

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

workaround:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html><head><title>Test</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><style type="text/css">

p { margin-top: 10px; }</style></head><body>begin my text

Anyway, I wanted to report this in case others ran into the problem and also to hopefully get this fixed so I don't have to hack my code.

There should probably be an email that goes out or some form of notification about these problems. They are pretty serious issues that affects a lot of content management and that could really be a pain for users or admins to go back and fix in their systems.

Hi Chris,

We are not aware of this problem and you are the first one to report it. I tried to reproduce it locally but to no avail. Could you please provide more detailed information on how to reproduce this issue? The complete RadEditor's configuration, a sample content reproducing the problem and exact steps that need to be executed will be of great help isolating and solving this issue.

Best wishes,
