Invalid Anchor Tags Fixed Incorrectly

Reply Quote

<a> tags are created incorrectly on each line in the content

To dupe

Paste the below code into html mode

top
middle
bottom

Edit line one, to be <a href="#bottom">top<a/>
toggle to Normal view then back to HTML view
Notice the change in HTML to:

<a href="#bottom">top</a><a></a>
<a>middle</a>
<a name="bottom">bottom</a><a> 
</a>

<a></a>

Duplicable in cutesoft website

Can reproduce it in FireFox 3.

IE 7 will produce this instead, which also is incorrect

body {padding:0;margin:0;}middle
bottom 

</a>

Which part about the fact that Cute Editor is incorrectly fixing invalid HTML is hard to understand?

The problem is that Cute Editor is trying to do the "right thing" and is instead messing things up more. Yes, the HTML is indeed incorrect, but that wouldn't be a problem if Cute Editor didn't try to fix it up.

My problem is not how to write the HTML correctly or what I need to do to not have it get messed up.

GWax,

Cute Editor is a browser-based application.

When you input the wrong html code into the editor, browsers will detect it and try to fix before rendering the code. That's why you get the different result in IE anf FireFox when you have incorrect HTML code.
