Not rendering unordered lists XHTML compliant

Reply Quote

When I create an unordered list with Cute Editor for .NET I get tags formatted like so:

<ul>

<li>List Item 1

<li>List Item 2

</ul>

instead of:

<ul>

</ul>

Is there a configuration setting I am missing to render XHTML compliant as the editor is advertised?

CuteEditor converts the above code to XHTML compliant in the server side instead of the client side.

Please test it in the following example:

After the postback, the above code will be converted to:

<ul>

</ul>

Adam,

That is not what I am experiencing.

Using IE 6.0.2900.2180, I tried the following scenario to ensure that I am getting "well-formed" XHTML.

a.) From HTML view, I entered:
Hi Mom
<ol>
<li>hi
<li>dad

b.) Switched to Normal view and then back to HTML view. The following was displayed:
Hi Mom
<ol>
<li>hi
<li>dad </li>
</ol>

c.) Saved the record and the following XHTML was saved in the database:
Hi Mom

<ol>
 <li>hi
 </li>
 <li>dad </li>
</ol>

d.) Closed IE, restarted the app and the following was displayed:

Hi Mom
<ol>
<li>hi
<li>dad </li>
</ol>

What happened to the XHTML? Why is the ill-formed HTML being displayed? Does this "transformation" when the data is rendered to the screen a cause of the poor performance?

For performance purpose, Cute Editor handles XHTML on the server side instead of client side.

>>Why is the ill-formed HTML being displayed?

It is due to the browser bahivour.
