Embed "/" end tag removed

I put this is my HTML view:

I switch back to Normal view. I switch back to HTML view, and my code has changed to:

The </embed> tag at the end of the line goes missing. Upon saving, this causes the page to fail xhtml validation, which is a requirement for my project. Thanks for your help in figuring this out!

The example also exhibited the problem. I tested the general.aspx page in IE7 and Firefox 2 on mac, and they both removed the end </embed> tag. Also, using the single-line end notation is also removed. For example: <embed stuff here /> would removed the ending "/" leaving just <embed stuff here>. Thanks for your help.

I have tested your code using IE 7 and firefox. Both works fine here.

I'm not sure where to go from here, but I've had other people in my office test pasting the embed code I included above on your general.apsx page, and it's not working for any of us. The general.aspx page does behave slightly differently in that when the end </embed> tag is removed, it puts in its place:  I can attach screen shots if needed.

headchem,

Did you install some plug-ins?

Are you sure you can reproduce the problems in http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx?

I've done some more testing on http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx and everything is still not working as I described earlier in both mac FF and mac Safari, but the </embed> tag is preserved in IE7. In IE7 Cute Editor does not strip the </embed> tag, however, IE7 does still strip the one-line ending (along with all the other browsers I've tested). So <embed blahblah /> still turns to <embed blahblah> when toggling between HTML and Normal view. I've had a co-worker test all of these scenarios, too, and he's experienced the same as I have. We both have FF's WebDeveloper plugin installed, but we experienced the same problem in Safari, which didn't have any plugins installed.

For some reasons, we cannot reproduce this issue in our side.

Please let me know the detailed information of your OS and browser version.

We also need to know the steps to reproduce this issue.

You can send this information to [email protected]. He will help you test this issue.

Hi, sorry for the delay in closing this thread. I emailed with Kenneth, and he informed me that the embed tag is known as a singleton tag, which does not allow for an end tag. http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmltags/p/bltags_embed.htm

So cute editor is functioning properly, and this tag is depreciated for good reason. Thanks for your help.
