Description of problem:

If I paste or enter any inline styles into the HTML-view of Whizzywig (after pressing the <> button), it automatically strips all inline styles and span tags, including the content contained within the span tags.

For example:

Code Select Expand

<p style='color:green;'><span style='font-weight:bold'>Title</span> by Author</p>
is automatically converted to:

Code Select Expand

<p> by Author</p>

Does anyone know why? Or more importantly, how I can stop this from happening?

Thanks

pbarney,

As stated by G6, there are quite a few issues with the editor in beta 3 that have been fixed for beta 4.  Bloc has made the fix and made available a new version of the editor for those who would like to use it prior to the release of beta 4.  To download it see this post ---> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,28788.msg229572.html#msg229572

I updated the .js with the version in the post you referenced. Unfortunately, I've still got the issue.

I'd like to know if it's just me. Would you be willing to go into whizzywig and do the following?

1. Click the button at the end of the toolbar to switch to html mode

2. type this:
     <h1 style='color:green'>This is a test. <span>Is this still here?</span></h1>

3. Click the "hide HTML" button at the bottom. At this point, it looks fine to me, but if I submit it, it strips the style and span.

4. To confirm, just press the button. When I do this, the HTML then renders as:
     <h1>This is a test. </h1>

Does this happen to you?  FYI, I'm using Firefox 3.0.7 on WinXP.

Thanks

Just tried your code and got the desired result:

The version of TP on my test site is newer than the one you are using but if the fix was done correctly your result should be the same.
Check your edits to see if they are OK.

Working fine on my site as well testing the same exact code you are referring to.

I double-checked the file, and it was updated. But the problem was still there. Then it dawned on me.  Ctrl-F5 to refresh the cache, and that fixed it.

So THANK YOU. Problem solved.

But I noticed one other thing. I have a wysiwyg directory in my SMF root, with it's own whizzywig.js. Is that supposed to be there?

Thats the old editor. You can delete that directory. Make a backup of it just in case something goes wrong.
