    Got an opinion?

    Hiya
     
    I'm just curious to sort of guage the opinion of the masses on the useability of cute editor (note: Totally not rubbishing it at all as I think it's marvellous)
     
    I have had a bit of an experience with applying font sizes, types, that kind of thing across numerous paragraphs - with it not working particularly well and sometimes applies the style and sometimes doesn't.  I was told by someone online that it was because it struggled to apply styles accross a number of paragraphs...after I found this out I found that I was able to use it ok, but other people were still struggling - sort of don't want to have to go around and tell everyone how to use it.
     
    What I was after really was any experiences people have had, if it's generally a configuration issue (which I'm about 99.98% sure that it is and it's something I'm doing or not doing to make it not work so well).  How people have implemented it...what configuration changes they've made from the original download, what's applied in the code etc etc... just to make the whole experience much better
     
    For example...the drop down boxes (for css class, inline style etc) are all squished up to about 10px wide each on my implementation, but I notice on here it looks absolutely fine - why might that be...this one also seems about a million times easier to use so it must be a configuration issue...what have you found?
     
    Thanks for aaany response I get! Ta!

    MrPea,
     
    >>I have had a bit of an experience with applying font sizes, types, that kind of thing across numerous paragraphs
     
    Let me explain this in details.
     

    For example, you type "Hello World" into the editor.
     
    Select it and chaneg the font name to Comic sans MS, you will get:

    <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Comic Sans MS">Hello World</span>
     
     
     
    If you select the above HTML code and change the font site, you have two situations:
     
    1. The select range is same. You will get:

    <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Comic Sans MS">Hello World</span>
     
     
     
    2. If the select range is not same, CuteEditor will reformat the selection!
     
    For example, what you select is <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Comic Sans MS">Hello World</span> testtest..
     
    In this situation, CuteEditor will generate the following HTML code:
     
    <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Hello World testtest</span>
     
    Instead of the nested HTML code like this:
     
    <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Comic Sans MS">Hello World</span> testtest..</span>
     
     
     
    It's the best solution we can find to help our client to generate clean HTML/XHTML code. Hope it helps.
     
    If you don't agree this solution, please check Editor.UseFontTags Property.
     
    And set Editor.UseFontTags Property to true and use font tags instead.

    Editor.UseFontTags Property

    Font tags are now deprecated, meaning that they aren't used any more and will cause validation errors. Many legacy pages still contain style information in font tags. By default Cute Editor converts font tags to span tags. <font face="times" size="4" color="#ffffff">your text</font> would be replaced with <span style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 110%; color:#ffffff">your text</span> If you still want to use font tags, you can set this property to true.
     
    >>For example...the drop down boxes (for css class, inline style etc) are all squished up to about 10px wide each on my implementation
     
    If your site online so you can provide an online example? I have no clue now.

    Re: Got an opinion?

    Hello
     
    Thanks for your response
     
    I have put online the demo editor (http://www.internetgeeks.co.uk/TestCuteEditor.aspx) ...I wonder how this compares to others (I'm definitely sure I've missed something)
     
    This is the part that bothers me a little - and makes me think I've missed something: (note the somewhat overlapping drop down boxes....)

    MrPea,
     
    I think you are using IE 7.0 beta.

    Re: Got an opinion?

    Hello, thanks for that!
     
    That worked, and fixed the problem...but made eevery other bit of text on the page massive and really messed everything up...I tried to solve that but I think it needs the doctype doesn't it?  Is there another way of fixing this?
     
    Thanks, Paul

    Paul,
     
    Right now we don't have better solution. Please wait for the version 6.0 which will be released in September.
