Hello All,

I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the paragraph tags that seem to arbitrarily surround text.

Any help would be great.

Antoszj,

It's a behavior of IE.

When you start editing, <P> or <div> tags will be inserted automatically by IE.

 

The content is wrapped in the block level element.

 

This is an example of some obvious browser compatibility bugs. Will they be fixed?

 

Here's a comparison of how the two browsers handle Cute entries. Versions IE 7 and Firefox 3

 

TEST ONE:  BreakElement="P"

 

IE encloses each line in opening and closing <p> tags

Firefox does the same

 

TEST TWO  BreakElement="Br"

IE encloses the entire block in opening and closing <p> tags but uses <br /> between lines 1 and 2.

Firefox uses only the <br /> between lines 1 and 2.

 

Another bug relates to how IE handles the Cute editor background color. It is considered best practise UI design to have data input fields displayed in a different color than the page color. I set this in Cute thusly:  EditorBodyStyle="background-color:#FFFFC0"

 

Firefox handles this as expected. IE however writes the text to the database with color tags UNLESS  AutoConfigure="None"

 

Here's the database record when written from the IE browser with  AutoConfigure="Minimal":

<p><font style="background-color: #ffffc0">Test Two: IE line one using Br<br />Line two</font></p>

Here's some code for getting rid of the unwanted IE <p> tags. It's a bit of a pain but, in my case, necessary. In this example the "Name" string is coming from an Editor control in a details view:
