Paste problems with MS Word 2003 and Firefox 3.0.3

[Matej]

Hi,

I've read some threads concering paste issues with RadEditor control.

Unfortunately i haven't found solution to my issue. 

The problem arises when pasting the text from MS Word to RadEditor (in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.).

RadEditor is wrapped in the DetailsView and when i click the upload link the content is saved in the

database. When previewing the content in the Literal control (in IE 7) strange syntax is displayed:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->­       <!--[endif]-->

The problem is that IE doesnt recognize this as a comment (because of <!--[ instead of <!--) and

displays is as the text in the website. To make things clearer: The problem is that FF puts some 

additional html comments when pasting content from MS WORD. IE does not recognize that as 

a comment and displays it.

Things work just fine If i try the other way around (paste text from MS WORD in IE and preview it in FF).

Could someone help me with this issuse as it is annoying.

thx

Hi Borut,

Could you please, see the following forum thread on the subject: Conditional comments, which could be helpful for your scenario?

You can see how to implement a content filter in RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX in this live example: Custom Content Filters.

Thank you for the reply. I tried the solution and implemented the

Content filter which removes the comments. However both IE

and FF returned an error in the OnClientLoad event handler.

Both complained that FiltersManager ( editor.FiltersManager.Add(customFilter)) 

property is undefined. I followed both steps to create a content filer (write a javascript

function/class which sets all three methods for a filter and add this class in the FilterManager

 in the OnClientLoad event handler) and and i am still unable to make it work. 

Am i doing something wrong?

Hi Borut,

Please, try this content filter:

 <telerik:radeditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" _OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">
        <Content>
            <strong><br />&nbsp;<!--[anything]-->Switch to Html mode to <!--[if supportFields]--> run<!--[endif]--> the content filter.<br />&nbsp;</strong>
        </Content>
    </telerik:radeditor>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
    {
       editor.get_filtersManager().add(new MyFilter());
    }
    MyFilter = function()
    {
       MyFilter.initializeBase(this);
       this.set_isDom(false);
       this.set_enabled(true);
       this.set_name("RadEditor filter");
       this.set_description("RadEditor filter description");
    }
    MyFilter.prototype =
    {
       getHtmlContent : function(content)
       {
         var newContent = content;
         //Make changes to the content and return it
         newContent = newContent.replace(/<!--\[.*?\]-->/g,"");
         return newContent;
       },
      
       getDesignContent : function(content)
       {
         var newContent = content;
         //Make changes to the content and return it
         newContent = newContent.replace(/<!--\[.*?\]-->/g,"");
         return newContent;
       }
    }
    MyFilter.registerClass('MyFilter', Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Filter);
    </script>

The filter applies to RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX.
