hi,
I am using RadEditor with default toolset. The issue is, by default value of RadEditor content is EmptyString. I need to validate if user made an entry.
If I enter some data which has a line break, I am unable to remove the data completely. There is always a line break remaining (below HTML).
<p> </p>
I do not see this happening in demo editor, but this is something happening in all screens we are using RadEditor.
This issue is only happening in IE. It's working fine in Mozilla. As attached, I am unable to get rid of that additional line break once I delete the text.

Hi,
By default, the rich text editing engine of Internet Explorer that RadEditor uses wraps the content inside a paragraph tag - this is the default root <p> tag. If this tag is missing the browser automatically adds it. We got many requests to change this behavior, because it was 'tricking" the validators to believe that there is content in the editor. That is why we implemented the FixEnclosingP content filter which strips this root paragraph.
However, the FixEnclosingP content filter is executed only when loading the editor, switching to HTML mode or submitting the content. If you delete the content, the browser will insert the root <p> tag again and to delete it you should submit the content or switch to HTML mode to strip it. For more information, you can see the attached video at http://screencast.com/t/MTBmYTEy.
Kind regards,

Hi Rumen,
Thanks for detailed explanation and the vid. I will try to have some workaround, probably having this string in Javascript as a check.
