pasteHTML across browsers

[christopher willis]

I finally have pasteHTML working pretty well, but I need some help to smooth the behavior across browsers

with this code:
.pasteHtml('<a href="#">link</a><br/> \r\n');

IE8 & FF3.5 will paste the link, and put the cursor below the link. I want it to work this way.

Safari 4 & Chrome 4 will paste the link, but will select the pasted entire link.  

I don't want it to work this way as the next pasteHTML will continuously replace the previous pasteHTML.

I need a way to make Safari and Chrome NOT select (or unselect after the fact) the pasted HTML, like IE & FF does.  

Thanks

Hi Christopher,

The observed behavior is due to the Rich Text Editing engine of the WebKit based browser Safari and Chrome. If you test the RadEditor built-in dialogs you will noticed that the inserted elements images, tables and links are also selected.

I was able to reproduce similar results in our competitors' editors in Chrome and Safari. Nevertheless, I logged the issue and we will try to improve the pasteHtml method.


Kind regards,

I spent almost a day trying to get it to work, but didn't make any headway.  Thank you very much for looking into it.
