Hi, when switching from HTML to Design view, in a certain case, I get 'RADEDITORSAVEDTAGENDING'. I believe it has to do with a combination of the DTD, javascript, and "<!--", "//-->" characters.

In the declaration
  • ContentFilters="None".
In the code behind
  • radEditor.EnableFilter(EditorFilters.ConvertToXhtml);
  • radEditor.EnableFilter(EditorFilters.IndentHTMLContent);
This is what I have in HTML:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> 
<html> 
    <head> 
    <script> 
    <!-- 
    function foo(){ //v4.01 
        if(5>5){} 
    } 
    //--> 
    </script> 
    </head> 
    <body> 
    </body> 
</html> 

When you switch to Design, I got
5){} } //--RADEDITORSAVEDTAGENDING>

Hi Gavin,

The observed behavior is due to the EncodeScriptsFilter content filter of RadEditor, which encodes all script tags from the content. Its purpose is to prevent the browser to modify and execute the script tags in Design mode. When switching to Html mode the script tag will be restored to its original text.

If you would like you can disable this filter with the following code:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" onClientLoad="onClientLoad" runat="server" ></telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onClientLoad (editor)
{
    var filter  = editor.get_filtersManager();
    filter.getFilterByName("EncodeScriptsFilter").Enabled = false;
}
</script>

Hi Rumen,

Thanks, it solves this specific problem.

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the general problem. I really would like the EncodeScriptsFilter feature AND also for the RADEDITORSAVEDTAGENDING tag not to be added since the javascript looks pretty standard.

So really, my question is whether this is a bug that will be fixed in the future or this is expected behavior and anybody who doesn't want to have the RADEDITORSAVEDTAGENDING tag must also not have the EncodeScriptsFilter feature.

Thanks,
Gavin

Hi Rumen,

Unfortunately, upon further testing, the proposed solution might not work.

I hooked up the OnClientLoad and did this in my Page_Load:
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
    {  
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)  
        {  
            radEditor.EnableFilter(EditorFilters.ConvertToXhtml);  
            radEditor.EnableFilter(EditorFilters.IndentHTMLContent);  
 
            radEditor.Content =  
                "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\"> " +  
                "<html><head><script> <!-- function foo(){ //v4.01 if(5>5){} } //--> </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> ";  
 
        }  
    } 

When the editor is loaded, the same "RADEDITORSAVEDTAGENDING> " error appears. It does seem that the filter has already been applied when I assigned to radEditor.Content. Thus, disabling it in OnClientLoad is too late.

Hi Gavin,

My suggestion is to set a small timeout after the editor load and disable EncodeScriptsFilter filter, e.g.

ASPX:

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" onClientLoad="onClientLoad" runat="server" ></telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onClientLoad (editor)
{
    setTimeout(function()
    {

        var filter  = editor.get_filtersManager();
        filter.getFilterByName("EncodeScriptsFilter").Enabled = false;
    }, 1300);
}
</script>

Codebehind:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            RadEditor1.EnableFilter(EditorFilters.ConvertToXhtml);
            RadEditor1.EnableFilter(EditorFilters.IndentHTMLContent);
            RadEditor1.DisableFilter(EditorFilters.RemoveScripts);

            RadEditor1.Content =
                  "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\"> " +
                "<html><head><script> <!-- function foo(){ //v4.01 if(5>5){} } //--> </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> ";

        } 
    }

Hi Rumen,

I tried that and it didn't work for this test case.

Actually, I'm not sure why it should work. I thought the problem is that we're not disabling the 'EncodeScriptsFilter' fast enough. I'm not sure how disabling it later would help. I know I'm probably missing something but could you explain the rationale behind setting the timeout?

Thanks.

Hi Gavin,

Indeed, I agree with you that the provided code does not work as expected in your scenario. The only possible way to disable the EncodeScriptsFilter filter is to copy and paste the Scripts folder to your web application root, open the Scripts\Editor\RadEditor.js file and set the Enabled property of the Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.EncodeScriptsFilter function to false, e.g.

Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.EncodeScriptsFilter=function(){
Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.EncodeScriptsFilter.initializeBase(this);
this.IsDom=false;
this.Enabled=false;
this.Name="EncodeScriptsFilter";
this.Description="This filter encodes all script tags from the content.";
};

After that configure the editor to read its script files from the Script folder by setting  EnableEmbeddedScripts="false" and importing the external scripts paths:

    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" >
        <Scripts>
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Common/Core.js" />
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Common/PopUp/PopUpScripts.js" />          
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Editor/RadEditor.js" />
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Dialogs/DialogOpener.js" />
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Editor/Modules.js" />         
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Spell/SpellCheckService.js" />
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Editor/AjaxSpellCheck.js" />
           <asp:ScriptReference Path="~/Scripts/Window/RadWindow.js" />
        </Scripts>

    </asp:ScriptManager>
<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" EnableEmbeddedScripts="false" runat="server"></telerik:RadEditor>

For your convenience I have attached my test project.

All the best,

Hi Rumen,

Thanks, it works.

I must say though that this is a little hackish and we still lose the useful 'EncodeScriptsFilter' functionality. I hope that in future versions, Telerik will improve on the javascript parsing so that such an operation is not needed.

Hi Gavin,

I agree with you and I would propose the following solution which will help you to override the EncodeScriptsFilter filter:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1"  runat="server" ></telerik:RadEditor>
<script type="text/javascript">
Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.EncodeScriptsFilter.prototype.getHtmlContent = function(content)
{
        return content;
};
Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.EncodeScriptsFilter.prototype.getDesignContent = function(content)
{
        return content;
};
</script>
<button onclick="alert($find('RadEditor1').get_html(true));return false">Show Content</button>


I also talked with out developers and we decided to provide the ability to disable the EncodeScriptsFilter filter using the DisableFilter method:

RadEditor1.DisableFilter(EditorFilters.EncodeScriptsFilter);

Most likely this feature will appear in the upcoming Q2 2008 SP1 release of Telerik.Web.UI.dll.
