RAD Editor changes the HREF attribute value in the IE8

[Oleg Burov]

Hi guys,

It looks like you have the bug in the latest RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX controls library.

Please check it and provide a workaround.

Environment: Internet Explorer 8

Scenario to reproduce:
1. Navigate to http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx;
2. Switch New Lines as radio button to Paragraphs value;
3. Switch to the HTML Mode and fill in the following HTML:
<a href="http://www.test.com/">www.test.com (Test link)</a>

4. Switch to the Design Mode and press the Enter key;
5. Switch to the HTML Mode again.


Result:

The RAD Editor changes the HREF attribute value. The value in the brackets, from the <a></a> tag, is added to the HREF attribute value. In the issue the link is corrupted.

Like bellow:
<p><a href="http://www.test.com (Test link)">www.test.com (Test link)</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Expected result:
The RAD Editor should not change the HREF attribute value. The value in the brackets should not copy to the HREF attribute value.

Best Regards,

Oleg Burov

Hi Oleg,

This problem is not directly related to RadEditor but is a standard browser behavior - when a text is formatted like a web or e-mail address InternetExplorer is creating an anchor tag with these values. You can verify this using a standard editable <iframe>.

We will investigate this behavior deeper and will try to correct it but I cannot provide firm estimate when this will be fixed (if possible).

For your convenience I have attached a simple HTML page with a standard editable <iframe> to test the default behavior.
