<br type="_moz"> and <p>&#160;</p> in empty source

[sir qwerty]

When FCKConfig.EnterMode option is explicitly set to BR value, empty textarea right after initialization contains <br type="_moz"> string after switching to source code view.

When FCKConfig.EnterMode option is explicitly set to P value, empty textarea right after initialization contains <p>&#160;</p> string after switching to source code view.

When FCKConfig.EnterMode option is explicitly set to DIV value, empty textarea right after initialization contains <div>&#160;</div> string after switching to source code view.

When FCKConfig.EnterMode option is left to use implicitly set default value (P), nothing appears in source code of empty textarea, which is OK.

Reproduces: Always

Browsers: Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP

Extra: Opera 9.50 shows always &#160; sequence in all three possible FCKConfig.EnterMode options. Internet Explorer 7 is OK.

I confirm the bug, with Firefox 2.0.0.11 the empty textarea contains <br type="_moz"> after the page load, with Opera contains &nbsp;

FCKeditor 2.5.1

Firefox quick solution (i don't know if it's the best, but it works)

Open: fckeditor/editor/js/fckeditorcode_gecko.js Row: 48 Find: I='<br type="_moz">';this._BodyHTML=I; Replace with: I=' ';this._BodyHTML=I; Note: Do not place an empty I value (I=), the editor will disappear

Thanks, I confirm this to be partial workaround at least for initial empty textareas containing no <br type="_moz"> after applying. Unfortunatelly, this tag appears after hitting Enter key several times, last linebreak always appears as <br type="_moz"> (which is not XHTML valid, I'm afraid).

[mem]

Another step forward: (create a simple <br /> instead of <br type="_moz">)

Open: fckeditor/editor/js/fckeditorcode_gecko.js Row: 36 Find: {var B=A.createElement('br');B.setAttribute('type','_moz');return B;} Delete: B.setAttribute('type','_moz');

If you don't want the final <br /> i suggest you to delete it with a server side script. PHP example: $string = str_replace('<br tyle="_moz" />',,$string);

Confirmed in FF: I can only confirm that a <br type="_moz" /> appears when switching to Source View right after launching a site if enter mode is set to br

FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'br' ;

If set to other values ( p or div ) it seems to work fine.

Note: in Opera when Enter Mode is set to br an &nbsp occurs as described above

In IE6 and IE7 everything works fine

The bug is reproducible on FCKeditor 2.6 beta. But the Milestone is not defined as yet.

[Martin Kou]

I've proposed a patch for the type="_moz" problem in #1150. I can't reproduce the &#160; problem though.

[sir qwerty]

The &#160 entity is shown when FCKConfig.EnterMode is set to "DIV" or "P"

AND

FCKConfig.ProcessHTMLEntities = false;

[sir qwerty]

Although fixed in 2.6.3 beta, FCK editor still forces me to have at least one <br /> in the end of my input text. This is undesired. Suggested workarounds listed above did it perfectly.

[Nick]

I get the added <br type="_moz" /> with 2.6.4

#2154 marked as duplicate.

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

Please, don't bump the version where it was reported. If it isn't fixed it's obvious that the problem still exists in the new versions. Following your logic all the bugs should be marked as 2.6.4 (or even SVN), making the version field absolutely useless.

#3217 has been marked as dup.
