#2848 confirmed New Feature

suggestion: make hidden element actually hide in IE too, x-browser behavior

Description

I think it's a good idea to make the behavior of hidden element the same in all browsers. This actually is doable in IE so I have found after lots of searching:

Setting

FCK.EditorDocument.execCommand('RespectVisibilityInDesign', true, null);

makes display:none and visibility:hidden to be respected in editable documents (contentEditable=true).

(Setting the second parameter to false instead of true will disrespect visibility, the default behavior of IE; and setting it to null will toggle the option.)

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa770023(VS.85).aspx (IDM_RESPECTVISIBILITY_INDESIGN)

Thanks for the great hack! I think it's originally designed for plug-in developers, it works for hidden style but not hidden field though.

But in this post http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12826#p33540 you state that it causes lots of flicker, so if that's true then I don't think that it's a good idea to enable that command, as most of the people won't use hidden elements and they will note the bad behavior.

Or was that problem caused by something else?

It was caused by toggling the display of a 'mouseover control element' in the editingArea onmouseover of an object (a plugin I'm developing), so this should be no problem.

As long as it doesn't break anything it can be good to support it to avoid showing data in design mode that isn't available in the final page or other browsers.

Now that we could achieve this with the protectedSource config with no side effects.

Could someone explain how to use protectedSource to force IE to RespectVisibilityInDesign? Using http://ckeditor.com/demo, you can still see this bug in IE by pasting the following into source mode, then switching back to WYSIWYG.

<p>
  hello
  <span style="display: none;">hidden</span>
  <span style="visibility: hidden;">world</span>
</p>

I would expect only "hello" to be shown, yet in IE8, as of CKEditor 3.4.1 "hello world" is displayed.

If I open up the Developer Tools in IE8 and run the following JavaScript, things display as they should unless you toggle into & out of Source mode:

CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].document.$.execCommand('RespectVisibilityInDesign', true, true);

The bug seems to occur only in IE7 and IE6.

I have attached modified replacebycode sample which tries to workaround the problem. This is the best I could came up with:

function doSth(editor){										
editor.document.$.execCommand('RespectVisibilityInDesign', true, true);
var imgArray = window.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentWindow.document.images;					
	for (var i = 0; i < imgArray.length; i++) {
		var obj = editor.document.getById(imgArray[i].id); 
		obj.hide();
	}					
}
				
var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' ,{});
				
editor.on('mode', function(evt){
	if(evt.editor.document)
		evt.editor.document.$.execCommand('RespectVisibilityInDesign', true, true);
});

The code fired on mode change helps to hide images when switching from source to wysiwyg but the problem is that they are visible for a second which is not very nice.

As discussed with @fredck the only way to fix it is having RespectVisibilityInDesign included in the source code.

Little update:

Looking up the code

<p>
  hello
  <span style="display: none;">hidden</span>
  <span style="visibility: hidden;">world</span>
</p>

Results are as follows:
IE8 and IE9 don't respect visibility:hidden
IE6 and IE7 don't respect neither visibility:hidden nor display:none
