RADEditor & becomes &(&amp)

[Aslam]

I have a requirement to wants me to disable the switching "&" into "&amp" (happens when I go to HTML mode from design mode)

Scenario:
I would like to use RADEditor to add jQuery pl see attached radeditor.png
(when RadEditor1.EditModes = Telerik.Web.UI.EditModes.Html)

When switching from designmode to HTML, mode & becomes &
(may also apply to "£ converted to &pound")

Check the post(link below)
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/converting-unicode-symbols-to-numeric-html-entities-using-a-content-filter.aspx

And I tried with Built-in Content Filters.
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/builtincontentfilters/defaultcs.aspx
But does not stop from converting & to &amp (also £ to &pound)

pl see the attached files contentfilter1.png and contentfilter2.png

Also tried adding code as well as specified in http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/editor/converting-unicode-symbols-to-numeric-html-entities-using-a-content-filter.aspx

pl can someone help
A code example to download would be better.

thanks

Hi Ami,

My suggestion is to disable the ConvertCharactersToEntities content filter and test the editor.

Hi Rumen,

thanks for the reply.
If you are asking to play around the demo
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/builtincontentfilters/defaultcs.aspx

by unchecking "ConvertCharactersToEntities" property, then I have already done and then posted here.
pl see my attachments "contentfilter1.png" and "contentfilter2.png" in previous post.

if it is someother thing then pl make it more clear.

Hi,

It appeared that this is a Firefox behavior, which can be reproduced in an editable iframe and div elements as the attached one. To fix it you can implement a custom content filter that will replace the & entity with & when switching to HTML mode and submitting the content, e.g.

<telerik:radeditor id="RadEditor1" ContentFilters="none" onclientload="OnClientLoad" runat="server"></telerik:radeditor>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
    {
       editor.get_filtersManager().add(new RadEditorCustomFilter());
    }
    RadEditorCustomFilter = function()
    {
       RadEditorCustomFilter.initializeBase(this);
       this.set_isDom(false);
       this.set_enabled(true);
       this.set_name("RadEditor filter");
       this.set_description("RadEditor filter description");
    }
    RadEditorCustomFilter.prototype =
    {
       getHtmlContent : function(content)
       {
            //Make changes to the content and return it
            //Convert the & symbol to its HTML & entity
             newContent = content.replace(/&amp;/gi, "&");     //you should enhance the regular expression because right now it will replace all & symbols in the content with &

         return newContent;
       }
    }
    RadEditorCustomFilter.registerClass('RadEditorCustomFilter', Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.Filter);
</script>
