Hi everyone,
I am working on the page that allows a user to edit text. Everything appear to be fine except that this text has to support fields (that's how they call it in MS word). Basically this text is a template where user can insert fields or variables which will be replaced with actual values when some event occurs. I am able to implement it using contenteditable="false" and unselectable="on". However there some cases when the html i am inserting is modified and I am loosing those attributes. One of such cases is when I try to insert the html code below into empty table cell. Once I do that field seem to appear in the editor, but once I switch to HTML or submit a form i am loosing contenteditable and unselectable attributes
I am not sure if this is browser issue or telerik specific. Does anyone have any experience with this or anyone knows a control that natively supports such functionality.
Thank you!
Aleksey

<span class="editorField" contenteditable="false" unselectable="on" variable="FieldName">Field Text</span>I am not sure if this is browser issue or telerik specific. Does anyone have any experience with this or anyone knows a control that natively supports such functionality.

Hi,
The different browsers offer different level of support for non editable elements / areas and it is hard to implement a 100% reliable working cross browser solution for editable iframe/div elements such as the content area of RadEditor.
I performed a test in IE9 and Firefox 14.0.1 but I was unable to reproduce the stripping problem as shown in the following video: http://screencast.com/t/7vcWhfj3W2. What you can try is to disable the built-in filters of RadEditor by setting ContentFilters="None", which will ensure that the content is not stripped by RadEditor.
