CKEditor Sample — Replace DIV

1. Double click on any div
2. Change CKEditor to source view
3. Contain existing text in div
4. Double click on another div

Now you can click on the first selected div, but CKEditor doesn't load.

Using the following:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="quality" value="medium" /><param name="movie" value="a.com" /><embed src="a.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>

Right click on the placeholder, switch to the 2nd tab.
Note that all fields have their default values, although the params should override them.
Tested with IE8, works well with IE9's IE8 mode.

1. Load the editor with following content;

   <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" data="a.com"><param name="play" value="false" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="quality" value="medium" /><param name="movie" value="a.com" /></object>
   

2. Double click to open Flash dialog, check those fields on properties tab;

• Actual Result: Fields are empty.

When a user inserts an iframe, they can specify an alignment. The HTML generated for the iframe uses the align attribute which is deprecated. Instead the alignment should be applied using the float CSS property. The image dialog already uses the float CSS property to apply alignment. The iframe dialog should do the same.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Insert an iframe into the editor.

2.Specify a url and select an option for alignment.

3.Look at the source of the editor.

e.g.

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://dev.ckeditor.com"></iframe></p>

Problem: The align attribute which is deprecated is applied to the iframe.

In PeopleSoft's Job posting feature, users can add any number of posting and each posting will have one ckeditor. After adding 15 posting, fifteen ckeditors are displayed but the IE memory usage is increased to around 25MB. Becuase of this our page is too slow and user is not able to do any action. But the same use case is executed in Firefox and the memory usage was just 1MB. Below i have given the memory usage detail.

In IE7/8, No editor is displayed:(IE_NoEditor_MemoryState.PNG)
Memory Usage:68.48 MB
In IE7/8, 15 editors are displayed:(IE_Editor_MemoryState.PNG)
Memory Usage:94.06 MB
Memory usage is increased around 25MB

In FF3.6, No editor is displayed:(FF_NOEditor_MemoryState.PNG)
Memory Usage:482.308 MB
In IE7/8, 15 editors are displayed:(FF_Editor_MemoryState.PNG)
Memory Usage:483.452 MB
Memory usage is increased around 1.14MB


Replication:

1. Download the attached "ckeditor_performance.html" file.
   
2. In IE7/8, access this file from the webserver.
   
3. Once the page is loaded, note down the IE memory usage(task manager).
   
4. Click on the "Create Editor" control for 15 times so that it will create 15 editor in that page. Now wait for 3 minutes and then note down the memory usage and compare with the no editor situation.
   
   

Run the above steps for firfox and check the memory usage.

This is very critical to us, please provide the fix asap.

ii. Item 1aa
3. Item 2
4. Item 3
    a. Item 3a
    b. Item 3b

This seems like a problem that may have already been solved, but I have searched endlessly and can not find a solution, even after new installation of latest version.

Everytime I add an image url the image displays in the html editor, but on the output page, the image is broken and looks like the following:

Please help me or guide me one how to solve it!

Cheers!

I just downloaded ver 3.5.2, installed, and while working with samples, attempted the following code:

CKEDITOR.replace( 'ItemText', {

extraPlugins : 'uicolor, autogrow', toolbar : [ [ 'Bold', 'Italic', 'Underline' ], [ 'UIColor', 'autogrow' ] ] });

It failed. In fact, the editor instance did not even appear on the page.

I downloaded the latest and greatest in the hope that the extraPlugins would begin to support more than one plugin. But, the code continues to fail in the same manner as it failed in version 3.0.

I have tested this on both my production linux server, AND on my development windows server with the same results.

Please advise.

Translated the MISSING fields in fo.js. Some other minor correction as well. Expect a new version a bit later, when I have tested this locale-version live for some time.

Note: Found this 3.5.1 locale in the 3.5.2 version.

In order to support correctly contentEditable=false there are a number of additions to the normal code and that means a general performance hit that should required only for those systems where such non-editable elements are being used.

By moving some functions to a separate plugin we can avoid most of the performance hit as well as allowing to keep improving such support without a degradation for the rest of uses.

Example: ​http://gpeasy.com/x_div_replace/

How to duplicate bug:
* Using FireFox
* Replace div with ckeditor instance
* destory(true) after editor has loaded but before any editing has been performed

What Happens:
* After destroy(true) is fired, the div will not be shown.

Notes:
* Works properly in chrome

Hi

I have just downloaded the CKFinder and installed it. When i run the standalone sample, i got the error, editor is disabled.

I was able to overcome this by setting the CheckAuthentication = true.

Now when i run the sample i get the error: Unable to find an image manipulation component

Hello

I have edited the sv.js file and translated all into swedish. Hopefully everything is 100% correct and that it'll get published in next version of CKEditor.

• Add a table and click on its border.
• Open the format combo, choose Heading 1.
• Note that the selected option now look weird and nothing else happens.
• Now click on the Heading 2 option.
• Note that a few <h2> tags were added on top on the table, and the table had been corrupted.

When you have a horizontal list (which is a list with list-style-type:none and li elements display:inline) and you click on a list element, the element goes to the next line as if he becomes a vertical list element. Going to source view and back to wysiwyg view makes the list horizontal again.

Paste the following code in the source view of a ckeditor, and then go back to wysiwyg view. Now click on a "lol" to reproduce the bug.

<style>
ul.list1{margin:20px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0px; list-style-type:none;}
ul.list1 li{display:inline; padding:20px;}
</style>
		<ul class="list1">
			<li>
				lol</li>
			<li>
				lol</li>
			<li>
				lol</li>
			<li>
				lol</li>
			<li>
				lol</li>
			<li>
				lol</li>
		</ul>

I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard with FireFox 3.5.16

To reproduce the defect:

1. Open Ajax sample.

2. with out focus in editor body, select a single formatting option. (ex: font size 36).

Expected Result:

Cursor stays in editor body and when we start typing the text, the formatting option(font size 36) applies to typed text.

Actual Result:

Cursor goes out of editor body and when we keep the cursor in editor body and start typing the text, the formatting option(font size 36) that we have selected is not applied and the format option also not shown in font size drop don list.

same issue happens when we apply any of normal formatting styles like bold,italic etc.

Insert the following HTML:

<a href="#" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">red
link</a>

Note that the link is blue.

Im using CKEditor 3.5.1 together with mootools 1.3 (on the same page).

I get an error "p is undefined - line 59". I have formated ckeditor.js:

​http://jsfiddle.net/LFDQD/

Now i get the right lines:

Line: 7613 and Line: 7622

if I rewrite these lines:

7613: label: p ? p.toolbar: , 7622: label: p ? p.title : ,

all is fine again. ;o)

all works great.

I´m using Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows Vista

I downloaded the latest library and the file plugins/entities/plugin.js is not included. I believe this file is important.

We are an insurance company in Sydney.

We are evaluating CKEditor for our new asp.Net project and we are happy with the features and performance. But we have an issue with the ckeditor in iframe page of ASp.NET project when open in IE. (IE version 8.0 is used to reproduce this error but not sure about other versions of IE). We are not getting this error in Firefox. I could not find any solution in your forum.

The version of the ckeditor is 3.5.1 and revision id is 6398 in ckeditor_base.js

The page is opened in iframe for the user to enter the email template and we get the following js error in IE. I would like to know whether you have any solution to this reported issue which hinder us from buying and using the component.

ForcePasteAsPlainText doesn't seem to be working for Mac users. They're able to paste in rich text from MS Word, bringing over invalid HTML source code with it. I'm using drupal module ckeditor 6.x-1.2 with ckeditor 3.5.1 on drupal 6.20. I'm not sure if these people are using the Safari browser or Firefox. I have Pasting as Plain Text enabled on the ckeditor module profile admin page, as well as in the ckeditor.config.js file. Also, in case it matters, I have SCAYT set to start automatically.

This problem doesn't affect Windows users using IE or Firefox.

Go to upload image > upload > browse for an image > then click on the "send it to the server" button. The screen showed in the image screengrab attached to this ticket shows the problem - the height of the form is too small meaning not all the content is visible.

These values are crucial for all sorts of customizations and it is vital that we make them accessible to developers. By accessible I don't mean having to search for them somewhere inside the millions of lines of CKEditor source code.

This information must be available in the API docs and auto-updated on all changes of the dialog window source codes.

Please note this is also one of the most asked for problem areas on our forum.

1. Load this HTML:

<table>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>cell1</td>
			<td>cell2</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>cell3</td>
			<td>cell4</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

2. Click inside any table cell.
3. In the elements path, click on "table".

Note that an additional space is appended to the bottom of the table.

In source view, this is what we have:

<table>
	<br />
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>
				cell1</td>
			<td>
				cell2</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>
				cell3</td>
			<td>
				cell4</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>

Both the <br> and the <p> are unwanted.

Introduced with CKEditor 3.5.1.

Hi, I don't know if this is a bug or a feature request but it weighs more towards a bug and I'll explain why.

Let's say

• I open up the wysiwyg ckeditor and I want to change the color of a text.
• I copy the hex code from photoshop,
• select the text I wanna change and
• go up to textcolor->More Colors->paste the hex code in the box and press Ok.

Right, the color of the selected text changed as predicted, however if I want to go ahead and change the color of another part of the text, I have to select that text and again _paste_ the hex code in! Why must I do that? And this is why I think it's a bug, because I can see my previous used color in the box that shows which color I have selected, and I can also press the button "Clear" to remove it, but I can't reuse it unless I paste the hex code in again. This is frustrating, and this feature exist in for example FCK editor, but I don't like that editor very much.

At first I thought it was Google Chrome browser that was the reason, but I tried it in firefox and IE8 and it has the same problem. Is this something that can be fixed? Would be very grateful.

This can be reproduced by adding an onmousover (or other inline script) with this content: this.src = 'URL';

If the content is edited after the first save, the editor inserts " data-cke-saved-src='URL'" between "this." and "src" in the code.

This breaks the script, and if edited repeatedly, more and more of these strings are inserted into the code.

When there are more than one editor on a page, actions on buttons don't apply on the right editor but on the last one.

Used it on joomla 1.6

The problem come from function onGetInsertMethod($name){}

I replaced

$js= "function jInsertEditorText( text,editor ) {

text = text.replace( /<img src=\"/, '<img src=\"".$url."' ); CKEDITOR.instances.".$name.".insertHtml( text );

}";

By

$js= "function jInsertEditorText( text,editor ) {

text = text.replace( /<img src=\"/, '<img src=\"".$url."' ); CKEDITOR.instances[editor].insertHtml( text );

}";

Hello,

I thin these bugs are correctly reported ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/6328 ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/5548

I managed to replicate and fix them in my code.

I had my HTML tag like this <html xmlns="​http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

I remove the language declaration from my HTML code and everything came back to life!

xml:lang="en" lang="en"

I think that is why it is such a confusing problem.

Regards,

Ivan

I am trying to debug some strange behaviour with the CKEditor. Here the scenario to re-create the problem:

1. I am creating a text, in which I want to search a key word, which appears multiple times at different positions in the text.

2. I am opening the demo editor on your web page and paste the text into the editor.

3. Now I am searching the key word using the find function. Every time I am repeating my search, the text editor finds the word and scrolls automatically to the position where the keyword can be found. Perfect.

4. Now I am resizing the editor box, e.g. making it significantly smaller. I am re-trying my search with the same text and keyword. Now the editor cannot scroll any more to the correct position. I am totally unable to see the highlighted word and cannot decide any more, if I want to replace it or not.

I am using Firefox on Mac OS X.

Can you re-produce this problem?

Thank you for your wonderful editor.

Seems like it might be tied to ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/6461

Initial text

Attempting to maximize a textarea in Firefox 3.6.13 causes a css rendering issue. In Chrome however this seems to function fine. Tested with the following code:

<html>
<head>
   
    <link href="ckeditor/_samples/sample.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />    

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $('.editor').ckeditor();
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>CKEditor Demo</h1>
    <textarea id="editor1" class="editor" name="editor1"><p>Initial value.</p></textarea>
</body>

</html>

adding this line resolved: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "​http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Video attached as well.

when using IE8, there are some probelms with deleting entries.

steps how to reproduce the bug:

1. create a table with some contents and then copy the whole table with the help of shortcuts.
2. now you have pasted it on another page (into a text area field with the CKeditor on it)
3. please mark an entry in the right column - and press here any key - it does not work. With the content in the left column - it works fine.

Could you pls check it?

thank you

It happens in IE6 and IE7

everytime I try to insert a template, lets say "Large Image" template it would not be inserted at the cursor location but at the top of the content

if my cursor is in the middle of my text content I'm expecting that selected template would be inserted into that content, not at the start of content

The dialog definition object allows to specify minWidth and minHeight ​http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.dialog.definition.html

Besides that, it would be useful to be able to specify the initial width and height that should be used for the initial display of the dialog.

	getParents : function( closerFirst )
		{
			var node = this;
			var parents = [];

			do
			{
				parents[  closerFirst ? 'push' : 'unshift' ]( node );
			}
			while ( ( node = node.getParent() ) )

			return parents;
		},

unshift method performance poor

example code

	var t = +new Date,s = []
	for(var i = 0;i<1000;i++){
		s.push(i)
	};
	s.reverse();
	alert(+new Date - t) // 2

	var t = +new Date,s = []
	for(var i = 0;i<1000;i++){
		s.unshift(i)
	};

	alert(+new Date - t) //21

in ie8

not use getAddress getIndex methods performance poor

my code

getPosition : function ( nodeA, nodeB ) {

如果两个节点是同一个节点 if ( nodeA === nodeB ) {

DOMUtils.POSITION_IDENTICAL return 0;

}

if ( nodeA.compareDocumentPosition ) {

return nodeA.compareDocumentPosition(nodeB);

}

var node,

parentsA = [], parentsB = [], body = nodeA.ownerDocument.body;

node = nodeA; while ( node = node.parentNode ) {

如果nodeB是nodeA的祖先节点 if ( node === nodeB ) {

DOMUtils.POSITION_IS_CONTAINED + DOMUtils.POSITION_FOLLOWING return 10;

} if ( node === body ) break; parentsA.push( node );

}

node = nodeB; while ( node = node.parentNode ) {

如果nodeA是nodeB的祖先节点 if ( node === nodeA ) {

DOMUtils.POSITION_CONTAINS + DOMUtils.POSITION_PRECEDING return 20;

} if ( node === body ) break; parentsB.push( node );

}

parentsA = parentsA.reverse(); parentsA.push(nodeA); parentsB = parentsB.reverse(); parentsB.push(nodeB); 不会出现ai 或者 bi 取不到的情况 for ( var i=0,ai,bi;ai=parentsA[i],bi=parentsB[i];i++ ) {

if ( ai !== bi ) {

var tmpNode = ai.nextSibling; if ( tmpNode ) {

while ( tmpNode ) {

if( tmpNode === bi ){

DOMUtils.POSITION_PRECEDING return 4

} tmpNode = tmpNode.nextSibling;

}

}

DOMUtils.POSITION_FOLLOWING

return 2;

}

}

DOMUtils.POSITION_DISCONNECTED return 1;

},

When having a list in word, which has format preformat. Pasting such a list causes the list to disappear. It seems the reason for this is that only half of the handling for changing from "word-html-list" to "ckeditor-html-list".

I did a patch for this, dont know if its the right fix though.

word document attached shows the problem.

Hi, I encountered the following problem when trying out the demo on IE7.

Steps to replicate the issue: 1) Go to demo page. 2) Right click on the Table on the right (with International Names as the caption). 3) Select Table Properties. 4) On the table properties popup , select any alignment. 5) Click OK. A new table will be created.

It seems that when the additional created tables are deleted, sometimes it will work properly.

These techniques are defined in WCAG 2.0 Level AA Success Criterion 3.3.3. ​http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/minimize-error-suggestions.html

when user leaves a mandatory field empty

1. Client-side validation script should display a WAI-ARIA alert message to notify the user that the field is required.

2. Validation script should add an aria-invalid="true" to the <input> element to inform a screen reader user that the input is invalid.

3. Field label is changed so that the user can easily identify the field where information must be entered.

When user enters an input that falls outside the required format or values.

1. Client-side validation script should display a WAI-ARIA alert message.

2. WAI-ARIA alert message describes the nature of the error and the expected values to enable the user to correct the invalid input.

3. validation script should also add an aria-invalid="true" to the <input> element to inform a screen reader user that the input is invalid.

I've noticed that WebKit (Google Chrome 8 & 9) has trouble pasting inside Source view when there are multiple instances of CKEditor running on the same page (i.e. 2 or more):

​http://nightly.ckeditor.com/6518/_samples/replacebycode.html

I sometimes can post in the source view of the last one (I have a situation where I have a 3 of them on the same page) before being able to past in the first two. In any case, the behavior is pretty consistent on WebKit/Chrome. I don't see this issue on Firefox.

Steps to reproduce the defect:

Scenario 1

1. Open up the skins sample in IE7.

2. Press "CTRL+" twice to zoom in 150%.

Result: The right border of the editor is missing in the v2 and office 2003 skins (see screenshot).

Scenario 2

1. Open up the skins sample in FF.

2. Press "CTRL-" to zoom out.

Result: The right and left borders of the editor are missing in the v2 and office 2003 skins (see screenshot).

When pasting a document with footnotes, the links to the footnotes in webkit browsers get the full path to the doc, e.g. ​file:///c:/folder/doc.docx#ftn_1 instead of the more correct #ftn_1 as in IE and Gecko.

Patch that fixes this is provided.

To reproduce the defect:

1. Open CK Editor and insert a Table with a caption.

2. click on Source button in Toolbar.

Expected Result:

we are in source mode and html for the inserted table is shown.

Actual Result:

Editor stays in WYSIWYG mode and it will shown an error and when we click on that error it says object doesn't support this property or method.

same behaviour happens when we insert a table with first row set as headers or both first row and first column set as headers

Reported here: ​http://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21773

Steps to reproduce the defect:

Scenario 1:

1. Open the Ajax sample.

2. Type a line of text.

3. Click on the RTL icon.

4. Select the line of text & click on the bulleted list icon.

Expected: A RTL bulleted list containing 1 list item is visible in the editor.

Actual: Nothing is displayed in the editor.

Scenario 2.

1. Open the Ajax sample.

2. Create a bulleted list.

3. Select the list & click the RTL icon.

4. Click on Numbered List\Bulleted List or Decrease Indent icons.

Result: Nothing happens!!!

1. Start with the following code

<html>
	<head>
		<title></title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<table>
			<tr>
				<td>
				d<meta /></td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</body>
</html>

2. Paste it in source mode
   

3. Switch to wyswig mode

Rezult:

<html>
	<head>
		<title></title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<table>
			<tbody>
				<tr>
					<td>
						d</td>
				</tr>
			</tbody>
		</table>
		<table>
			<tbody>
				<tr>
					<td>
						d</td>
				</tr>
			</tbody>
		</table>
	</body>
</html>
<meta />
<body></body>
<title></title>
<body>
	<table>
		<tbody>
			<tr>
				<td>
					d</td>
			</tr>
		</tbody>
	</table>
	<table>
		<tbody>
			<tr>
				<td>
					d</td>
			</tr>
		</tbody>
	</table>
	<p>
		&nbsp;</p>
</body>

Steps to reproduce:

• Open SubmitData.aspx
• Paste the following in source mode:

  <p>
  	This is some &lt;tag&gt; in the editor</p>
  

• Press submit, the result is now:

  <p>
  	This is some <tag>in the editor</tag></p>
  

Another way to reproduce it:

• In SampleConfig.aspx set the following:

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
          CKEditor1.Text = "<p>This is some &lt;tag&gt; in the editor</p>";
  }
  

• Launch the sample, the result in the editor is:

  <p>
  	This is some <tag>in the editor</tag></p>
  

In Firefox, when we are in quirks mode and selecting the maximize control collapses the editor completely.

• FontSizeSizes are marked as an object and thus are not surrounded with quotes.
• StylesSet and ContentsCss may contain a string or an array so it must be surrounded with quotes only when "[]" characters are not detected at the beginning and at the end
• Toolbar property must be prepared also for a JavaScript array, if user enters there something like

  [
      [ 'Source', '-', 'Bold', 'Italic' ]
  ]
  

  the ASP.NET control should handle it properly
• ProtectedSource must handle properly the situation when user enters the following:

  /<\?[\s\S]*?\?>/g

If you try to apply a filter for the href attribute auf a tags the new value is not written back to the html so.

CKEDITOR.on( 'instanceReady', function( ev )
{
    var editor = ev.editor,
    dataProcessor = editor.dataProcessor,
    htmlFilter = dataProcessor &&    dataProcessor.htmlFilter;
    htmlFilter.addRules({
        elements :{
            a : function ( element ){
                alert(element.attributes['href']);
                element.attributes['href'] = "http://www.ckeditor.com";
                alert(element.attributes['href']);
            }
        }
    });
});

this will first alert the old href than the changed href but the href attribute itself wont change

I just upgraded Ckeditor to the latest version 3.5.2 and since the upgrade, firefox shows a horizontal scrollbar for half a second at the bottom of the browser, just when CKeditor kick in. When CKEditor is on the screen, the scrollbar disappears.

This didn't happen before the upgrade. When I go back to version 3.3.1, all is well.

Safari or chrome do not have this behaviour

It does not appear to be possible to remove an empty paragraph in the beginning of a document, which is followed by a table.

To reproduce:

1. Switch to source mode and insert the following code:

   <p>&nbsp;</p>
   <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 500px; ">
     <tbody>
      <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
     </tbody>
   </table>
   <p>&nbsp;</p>
   

2. Switch back to wysiwyg. Now there's an empty paragraph at the top which can't be removed in the wysiwyg mode, as far as I can tell. Can't get rid of it using delete or backspace.

(this also applies to header tags. If you start the document with "<h1>Hello</h1>" instead, you can remove the text in wysiwyg, but you'll be left with "<h1>&nbsp;</h1>".

Tested with Firefox 3.6.13 and Chrome 9 on Linux, and have heard similar reports from Chrome/Windows users.

I have very simple text in editor, when I press “Insert/Remove Numbered List” button on toolbar on 1st,2nd and 3rd line, then go back to 2nd line and press “Insert/Remove Bulleted List” button on toolbar, it is killing all IE browsers sessions.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Textarea "editor1" is associated with the instance of ckeditor, here is the text prepopulated in the textarea :

   <dl>
   	<dt>
   	Text1
   	</dt>
   	<dd>
   		<ul>
   			<li>
   				Text2</li>
   			<li>
   				Text2</li>
   			<li>
   				Text2</li>
   			<li>
   				Text2</li>
   			<li>
   				Text2</li>
   			<li>
   				Text2</li>
   		</ul>
   	</dd>
   </dl>
   

2. Click on first bulleted list make it to Numbered list
3. Click on second bulleted list make it to Numbered list
4. Click on third bulleted list make it to Numbered list
5. Click on forth bulleted list make it to Numbered list
6. Click on second numbered list which in done in point 3 above and make it to bulleted list

At this point all browser sessions get killed.

For the same above text loaded in editor if I use editor.getData() method, it is giving “Stack overflow at line: 27” error.

Browser: IE 7.0.5730.13 OS: Windows XP with SP3

Addtional info: Please note, this happnes on ​http://ckeditor.com/demo page also, if 4 numbered list items are created and then if clicked to 2nd numbered item and make it bulleted item, it kills all IE browser sessions.

Paste into CKEditor from word two tables on a same line (first aligned left, and second aligned right). You'l see in CKeditor the two tables not on the same line (separated by a <div style="clear:both">).

Hi i am using the CKEditor.NET control inside a multiview, this works fine when i save the content i then change the multiview index, if i then click any linkbutton on the page i get a js error of "Error: e is null", so no linkbuttons or buttons work after.

Any ideas what is causing this?

To reproduce the defect:

Open CK Editor, with out focus in Editor body click on Text Color button.

Expected Result:

Text color panel comes up which should show black as Automatic color.

Actual Result:

Background color panel comes up which should show white as Automatic color and no matter how many times you close and open the panel it shows the same color panel.

when we focus in editor body and clicks on Text color button it shows correct Text Color panel.

To reproduce the defect

1. Open CK Editor and type 2 paragraphs of text.

2. select 2 paragraphs and click on Insert/Remove Numbered list button

3. see that a Numbered list appears with 2 list items.

4. Now select both list items and click on Insert/Remove Bulleted list button.

Expected Result:

Numbered list is converted to a Bulleted list.

Actual Result:

Nothing happens and we are seeing an error in IE and error says 'this.$currentStyle' is null or not an object.

same issue occurs when we try to convert a Bulleted list to a Numbered list.

Problem: If you set the style to display:hidden and the display:visible on the element containing the CKEditor instance, when the editor is visible again, the caret is not visible. Typing still enters text.

Firefox only.

Steps: 1) Create ckeditor instance 2) On the dom element containing the instance (the instance parent - this might work on the instance itself also), set style display:hidden 3) Set display:visible 4) Type in the editor - notice the caret is not visible

Editor randomly duplicates code when switching from source view to WYSYWIG (with a specific page that works in browsers) To reproduce:

1. Enter Source Mode
2. Paste attached HTML code into editor
3. Hit Preview – looks as good as it can without the stylesheets
4. Exit Source mode
5. Now it looks bad
6. Try Preview again and you see that it is not even close to how it looked before CKEditor exited source mode and that some elements (and the page) are duplicated in different spots
7. Enter Source Mode again and compare with original pasted code – very very different

Steps to reproduce

• Insert in the link-dialog as target frame a popup-window and set "Left Position" and/or "Top Position" to "1"
• Re-open the dialog to edit the link
• The editor now shows "true" in both fields

Before:

<a href="http://example.com" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no,left=1,top=1'); return false;">http://example.com</a>

After:

<a href="http://example.com" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no,left=true,top=true'); return false;">http://example.com</a>

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE.

2. Open the Flash dialog.

3. Insert ​http://bytescout.com/files/demo/swfscout_VideoSample.swf into the URL field & click ok.

4. Remove the editor. See that the flash movie displays as expected.

5. Create the editor.

6. Remove the editor.

Expected: The flash movie is displayed.

Actual: The Flash movie is not displayed.

CKEditor .Net Server control Height and Width Parameters do not work if attributes are placed in front of the Control ID

Version of control and ckeditor are both 3.5.2

Example: The following declaration sets the width and height correctly: <CKEditor:CKEditorControl ID="CKEditor1" runat="server" Height="800" Width="400" ></CKEditor:CKEditorControl>

This one does not set the width and height at all: <CKEditor:CKEditorControl Height="800" Width="400" ID="CKEditor1" runat="server"></CKEditor:CKEditorControl>

The only difference is th ordering of the attributes. Happens in all browsers.

Steps to reproduce the defect:

Scenario 1:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE.

2. Open the image dialog.

3. Paste ​http://a.cksource.com/e/1/img/logo-ckeditor-h100.png into the URL field & click OK.

Result: The following javascript error is thrown:

Message: 'this.$.currentStyle' is null or not an object
Line: 16
Char: 1466
Code: 0
URI: http://nightly.ckeditor.com/6540/ckeditor.js

Scenario 2:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE.

2. Insert a Smiley.

3. Right click on the Smiley & click on Image Properties from the context menu.

Result: The same javascript error as above is thrown.

When using the "Paste from Word" button to paste content, the CKEDITOR.cleanWord function is not executed for the first time. Confirmed in Safari, Opera and Chrome.

Steps to reproduce

1. Replace the default filter with:

   CKEDITOR.cleanWord = function( data, editor )
   {
   	alert("clean word called");
   	return 'xyz';
   }
   

2. Open _samples/replacebyclass.html in Safari.
3. Copy something, but not from Word, e.g. a part of the default text in the editor.
4. Paste it using the "Paste from Word" button.
5. Result: the alert message "clean word called" did not show up.
6. Repeats steps 3-5. The alert message now showed up.

ckeditor inserts spacer tags after the table each time the code view is toggled, or on loading on the editor. Each time the code view is toggled more tags are added.

<p>
	<spacer height="1" type="block" width="1"><spacer height="1" type="block" width="1">
	<p>
		<spacer height="1" type="block" width="1"><spacer height="1" type="block" width="1"></spacer></spacer></p>
	<spacer height="1" type="block" width="1"><spacer height="1" type="block" width="1">

	<p>
		&nbsp;</p>
	</spacer></spacer></spacer></spacer></spacer></spacer></spacer></spacer></p>

I can only reproduce this in Firefox, and it does not happen with every table. I think is has something to do with the number of rows. If I remove rows I can get it to stop. Also, if I remove the empty column it will not add the spacers at the bottom.

This can be duplicated in the Demo by pasting the code and toggling the Code View.

Go to CKEditor demo. Go to Source View. Paste in attached html. Go to Non Source View. Find/Replace. Search for "magna". Find/Replace properly finds and shows occurrences until the end of the document, but when cycling back to the start of the document, the document is not positioned to show the matching occurrence.

Currently the 'resize' event for dialogs is fired only on the global CKEDITOR.dialog object, but usually it will be more interesting for plugins to be able to listen on a dialog instance.

I am using FCK with codeigniter. When i add space manually I get a question mark (?) in that place. Please help

Step 1: Write some text for e.g: This is yahoo link. Step 2: select the text "yahoo" and link the (url: www.yahoo.com) using the link button of CKEditor toolbar link button. [now, the text decoration of "yahoo" changed to underline and color changed to blue. ] step 3: try to change the underline of the linked text "yahoo" using the tool bar's button "U". result the underline would not removed. step 4: click on the editor preview button. so you see here: underline is removed.

What i need to know:

1. is this FireFox browser issue ?
2. CKEditor's limitation ?

Finding: i checked in CKEditor demo in both FireFox and IE9. Result: i was unable to removed the underline from both browsers.

please let me inform if there any way to solve my issue. thanks Hasib Siddique

To reproduce the defect.

1. open CK Editor, type a paragraph and click on Insert/Remove Numbered list to start a Numbered list.

2. click on Text direction from right to left button to change direction of list from LTR to RTL.

3. keep cursor at end of list item and press Enter twice.

Expected Result:

Cursor comes out of Numbered list and an empty paragraph is created with RTL Language direction.

Actual Result:

In FF cursor disappears after we press Enter twice ,when we type some thing we will see the that it comes as a list item. No matter how many times we press Enter we can't come out of the list. when we look at HTML Source it is adding a span with a &nbsp; every time we press Enter. {{{ <span id="cke_bm_111S" style="display: none;">&nbsp; }}}

In IE cursor stays at the same list item.No matter how many times we press Enter we can't come out of the list. when we look at HTML Source it is adding a span with a &nbsp; every time we press Enter. for ex: {{{ <span id="cke_bm_111S" style="display: none;">&nbsp; }}}

same issue happens with bulleted list.

To reproduce the defect.

1. Open CK Editor, type a paragraph and click on Text direction from right to left button to change the text direction of the paragraph from left to right.

2. Click on Insert/Remove Numbered list button to start a Numbered/Bulleted list.

Expected Result:

RTL Numbered list is created with the paragraph that we have typed as it's first list item.

Actual Result:

Paragraph that we have selected or that has the cursor is deleted and the cursor moves to the nearest paragraph if there is one or cursor disappears if there is no other paragraph.

same issue happens with bulleted list.

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the languages sample in IE6.

2. Select a RTL language i.e. Arabic/Hebrew.

3. Open the Table dialog.

4. Click on the Advanced tab.

Result: See that the right border of the Style textfield is missing.

5. Click into any of the other textfields & type some text.

Result: See that the right border is missing after entering text into a textfield (see screenshot).

6. Click on the Table Properties tab.

Result: See that most of the right borders are missing.

Open the editor with the attached html. Click on the various fonts. Notice that the font picker does not recognize the font.

The w3 specification for font-family states that font "family names" must be quoted strings. It specifically "recommends" that fonts with spaces in their name should be quoted, and explicitly shows an example of a font without quotes as invalid.

i.e. (this is specifically mentioned as invalid) font-family: Hawaii 5-0, sans-serif;

See ​http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#font-family-prop

The editor should correctly recognize this type of font specification. In addition, the editor should be generating the font specification according to w3 specification.

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE Quirks mode.

2. Create a bulleted list.

3. Open the bulleted list dialog.

Result: See that the Type drop down is left aligned but it should be in the centre of the dialog (see screenshot).

1. Remove the doctype line from ui_languages.html and open it in IE6.
   

2. Create a bulleted list and right click it to open the context menu.
   

Problem: The context menu does not display correctly - it is not wide enough for the text content and therefore extra space appears in the context menu.

This is an issue for many context menus in CKEditor e.g Numbered Lists, Table - cells, columns, rows, flash properties etc

Go to CKEditor demo source view. Paste in attached html. Go to view mode. Single click on the scrollbar under the scrollbar thumb. Nothing happens.

Depending on where you single click the scroll might happen, but most times it does not. Similarly, if you single click above the scrollbar thumb, scrolling does not occur.

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE Quirks mode.

2. Click into the editor and hit Alt+0 to open the Accessibility Instructions dialog.

Result: See that the text in the dialog is not wrapped so you cannot read the full instructions on each line (see screenshot).

element attibutes are not preserved between postback

Suggested fix, in CKEditorControl.cs

use HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(string value) instead of trying to implement your own with replace on lines 37 and 43

Replication:

In non-source mode html text such as "<B> This is a sample text. </B>" when entered in the editor text area must be displayed as such ( i.e with tags and not as formatted html> once the text is saved. But on the contrary the html text is getting rendered into its corresponding html.

This issue occurs in CKeditor 3.3.1 also. We have customers on 3.3.1 also. CAn you provide a fix in 3.3.1 also?

Right now there is no way to set the value attribute, but after closing #7131 we will have this problem.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start with

   <ol>
   	<li value="7">
   		Foo</li>
   </ol>
   

2. Press enter.
3. Result:

   <ol>
   	<li value="7">
   		Foo</li>
   	<li value="7">
   		&nbsp;</li>
   </ol>
   

4. Expected result:

   <ol>
   	<li value="7">
   		Foo</li>
   	<li>
   		&nbsp;</li>
   </ol>
   

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in FF.

2. Enter some text into the editor.

3. Click somewhere in the middle of the text.

4. Click the Paste button in the toolbar & click cancel.

Expected: The text in the editor should appear as it was before the dialog was opened.

Actual: The text now appears on 2 lines instead of 1.

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE Quirks mode.

2. Click on the Text/Background color button in the toolbar.

Result: The color panel looks distorted (see screenshot).

To reproduce the defect:

1. Open Editor and create a RTL Numbered/Bulleted list.

2. Select the entire list and click on Increase Indent icon once.

Expected Result:

Numbered/Bulleted list is indented once and it is moved to the left by 40 pixels.

Actual Result:

Numbered/Bulleted list is indented once but the list not moved to left by 40 pixels ans stays in the same place.

when we look at HTML Source a margin-right:40px is applied to list

3. Now select the list and click on Decrease Indent icon once.

Expected Result:

Indentation applied to Numbered/Bulleted list is removed and it is moved to right by 40 pixels.

Actual Result:

Indentation applied to Numbered/Bulleted list is removed but the list not moved to right by 40 pixels and it stays in the same place.

I typed in some lines of text that were about 300 characters or so long. I selected a bunch of the text and copied it. I then used the Find feature in the editor to see if it would find the string. I was surprised that the Find feature could not find the string. Currently it looks like the Find functionality can only search of a string up to 80 characters long. Beyond that length the Find functionality reports that it cannot find the string, regardless of the string being there or not. If the string being searched on is 100 characters long for example and is actually present in the editor, the Find functionality reports that it cannot find it.

The error message needs to be updated to let the user know that the Find works for strings up to 80 characters in length. In a large document, the user will mistakenly think that a line of text is not in the document when in actuality the problem is that the string being searched on is too long for the Find to search for it.

Open a word document and select two bulleted lines with the selection span not reaching till end of second line. See attachment for example

Paste into RQM editor using Ctrl+V or Paste icon or Paste special icon. The second bullet is lost on paste.

Note: Paste as plain text preserves the bullet info correctly.

1. Create some formatted text in Wordpad, adding bullets, changing font sizes and colors.
2. Copy the text .
3. In the editor, select Paste special and paste in the Wordpad text.
4. Formatting has not been preserved.
5. Click OK and text was pasted as simply plain text.

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE7.

2. Insert a table.

3. Open up the cell properties dialog.

Result: The cell properties dialog displays but the layout in the dialog is distorted (see screenshot).

1. Start typing in the editor
2. Turn on underline or strikethrough and continue typing in the same line. Hit Enter and continue typing in the next line (the underline or strikethrough should still be on at this point)
3. Turn off underline or strkethrough and then continue typing

Result:
Most of the time I've seen the problem where the editor goes back into underline or strikethrough mode. Some times it seems to work as expected but at other times it does not. This is not 100 percent reproducible but I've seen it happen more times than not.

Use the create table option taking defaults(2 col- 3-row) left justified. Then right click to get to table properties and select center align and click OK. The table resize handles show where it was originally left justified.

This happens in FireFox only. Works fine in IE7/8

Indented bullets get pasted as tiny dots in FireFox. See attachments for more details

1. Enter some text in a empty rich text editor using default font and size.
2. Change font size to 18 and continue typing in additional text.
3. Change font size to 26 and foreground color to dark blue and continue typing in additional text.
4. Hit enter (notice the size of the cursor)
5. Insert a new table at the current cursor position (accepting defaults)
6. Enter text into the table
7. Select the table
8. Place the cursor after the text entered in step 3 and hit Enter.
9. Paste the table (using the Paste toolbar button or Ctrl+V).

Result: I expected the text in the pasted table to appear like it did in the copied table, but instead it appeared with the same font size and foreground coloring as the text preceding the table

NOTE: this works as expected in Firefox

enter few lines in the editor Now if we keep the cursor in between 2 lines and insert a table with default properties, it insert correctly.

But if we enter some specific properites(per screen shot) the table does not get inserted in a new line.

Instead it tags along as a prefix to an existing line(see screen shot).

Using Chrome and Firefox you will notice when scrolling down without giving the editor focus and clicking on the last bottom line on the page the cursor will scroll back to the top. With the editor loaded with a page. Without giving the editor focus and without clicking, scroll down the editor page till you reach the bottom of the page. Click on the bottom of the page within the editor. After clicking, the page will scroll back to the page. This isn't noticed in IE.

If you first give the editor focus and then scroll to the bottom of the page and click, it will work - the cursor not moving back to the top of the page, so before scrolling give the editor focus?

I tested this and noticed that it occurred on ckEditor demonstration site.

Any suggestions?

Ticket #4269 addressed the following issue - "Esc" and "Enter" keystrokes are not handled when a dialogue box is opened which causes the form post automatically.

But this issue is now re occurring in 3.5.2. Please check this and provide a fix.

Because of this issue whenever any plugins with a modal pop up window like Image Plugin, Links Plugin, Find & Replace are clicked either the window disappears immediately after it opens or the browser hangs as the JS goes in an infinite loop.

It looks like it is not available in IE9 (?)

Because of that tests for CKEDITOR.ajax and CKEDITOR.xml are failing.

To reproduce, use the following:

var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1',{
	extraPlugins : 'xml,ajax',	
});
		
editor.on( 'instanceReady', function( evt ) {						
	setTimeout(function() {
