RadEditor v7.1

What’s Fixed:

1. Due to a problem in IE in the following scenario: <P><STRONG>sample </STRONG> text</P>,

3. A problem in Mozilla browsers with AJAX on initial load is now fixed.
4. New support in XHTML filter to always set an alt attribute in IMG elements
5. If a user would chose a color, then use the color-picker, then tries to add a custom color, but decides to press cancel - the last chosen color would apply to the selection. The problem is now fixed - no color is applied when the user cancels the custom / hex color popup.
6. Two problems with NewLineBr = false under Mozilla browsers are now fixed. Improved behavior when hitting Enter in scenarios with lists and tables.
7. A problem with pasting content in Mozilla browsers in some scenarios - BODY element is destroyed. In scenarios where the container is BODY it should not go to parent node. The problem is now fixed.
8. In Mozilla scenarios where the content is not well formed and there are child bold elements within other bold tags, the B to STRONG regex would not perform well. The behavior is now corrected.
9. Added support for UseClassicDialogs to RadSpell inside of RadEditor. At present, the spell was not configured properly and would always render inside of "RadWindow" dialog
