[Solved] Repair Html

[Wolfgang Höfler]

Hi,

i have recognized, that the RadEditor has an powerful HtmlRepair function.
If i set the content of the editor:

<div><li>test<li>test2</li></div>

it produces an output like this

<div>
<li>test</li>
<li>test2</li>
</div>

Now i have the problem that i have to use this html-repair functionality without the editor.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Wolfgang,

It is the ConvertToXhtml built-in content filter of RadEditor that validates the content. This filter however is part of the RadEditor code and it cannot be used without the editor. What you can do is to place the editor in a hidden div and obtain the content through this filter via the editor.get_html(true) method, e.g.

<div style="display:none;">
    <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1"></telerik:RadEditor>
</div>
<input type="button" onclick="SetContent();return false;" value="Set Content" />
<input type="button" onclick="GetContent();return false;" value="Get Content" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    function SetContent()
    {
        var editor = $find("RadEditor1");
        var content = "<div><li>test<li>test2</li></div>"
        alert("Content to be set in RadEditor: " + content);
        editor.set_html(content);
    }
    function GetContent()
    {
        var editor = $find("RadEditor1");
        alert("Validated by RadEditor content:\n " + editor.get_html(true));
    }
</script>

Thank you for the answer,

but we need this functionality in an non-Browser-environment, without Javascript. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Wolfgang,

RadEditor is an ASP.NET AJAX web editor and it cannot be used in non web environment.
For validating HTML content in a non - browser - environment I suggest using the Tidy tool. It is designed to fix mistakes in HTML, tidy up the layout (hence the name), assist with web accessibility, convert HTML to XHTML and many other things.

You can download it from the following site:
