Custom Query

Steps to reproduce

1. Open ​http://ckeditor.com/features;
2. Switch to Accessibility Checker page;
3. Add a Table;
4. On the left row add a bulleted list and type several paragraphs;
5. On the right row add any text;
6. Set cursor to the last paragraph within the first row;
7. Start deleting content by pressing Delete button;

Have a look at this video: [​https://www.screencast.com/t/XfgB4XTDKkwn ]

Expected result

Any text to the right of the cursor should be deleted, in the current cell only.

Actual result

All text to the right of the cursor in the current cell is deleted, however it then begins to pull in and delete text from the neighbouring cell.

Other details (browser, OS, CKEditor version, installed plugins)

Reproduced in Edge, Chrome and IE.

With Safari, there are no ways to select objects, like images, form fields and tables. Also, not being able to select them, it is not possible to drag them inside the editor contents. No context menu is also available for the specific objects.

It would be interesting to have the innerHTML generated by the browsers to be fixed with ​HTML Tidy in the server when switching to source view or before posting the data.

The process steps would be:

• Show a "Processing..." message in the interface.
• Retrieve the innerHTML (no changes to it). We know that the editor includes some custom elements and attributes there.
• Send the HTML to the server using XMLHttpRequest (synchronous).
• Process the HTML in the server using Tidy. "Tidy Processors" should be available on all supported server side languages.
• Receive the processed HTML from the server and inject it in a DOMDocument.
• Make the necessary changes in the DOMDocument, removing or changing browser specific or FCKeditor tags.
• Hide the "Processing..." message and update the hidden field, or the source view, depending on the case.

Well, this is an initial idea than must be further developed in the future.

When you add an image using the add image icon --> browse local folders --> the upload dialog has a auto file size function. It will give you a choice of width options (200,400,600px) and then the image is converted to a web suitable jpg by a script. We are finding that the average user really struggles, firstly to understand why an image has to be a small file size and then has to use an external software product to size the image before it is uploaded.

This is a remainder of the issues described in #117

Now the IsDirty works fine while the user doesn't switch modes, but if the user does some change, switch mode and then later on he reverts to the original code the IsDirty will remain as true.

This isn't really a big issue, but it's better to leave it documented here.

It would be very useful to have a button that cleaned the HTML currently in the editor. What I mean by cleaning the HTML is having the option to do one or more of the following:

• removing FONT tags
• removing CSS Class references (class=".....")
• removing SPAN tags
• removing MS Word formatting
• removing all HTML tags

While the Paste From Word function is very useful for pasting in new content, often it is necessary to clean up an existing document, e.g. to strip out all formatting and get it back to the bare paragraphs, lists and tables.

This function is available in the radEditor with the Format Stripper button (brush icon)- see ​http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/Editor/Examples/Default/DefaultCS.aspx), and the CuteEditor with the Cleanup HTML button (brush icon) - see ​http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx).

Or a path-like contruct that can have multiple components. So a complex project like drupal (yes, that's where I'm coming from) could have template xml-files in multiple places and the editor loads all of them ...

The same could probably be argues for styles ...

I wish to have the FormatIndentator be a tab rather than 4 spaces. I also generally aim to put as much configuration in the scripting interface (e.g. calling via PHP/ASP/Perl/etc.) so that the config file can avoid having to be altered much.

Using

FCKConfig.FormatIndentator	= '	' ;

in fckconfig.js works fine.

But doing any of the following when calling via script (example in PHP) :

$instanceName->Config['FormatIndentator'] = '	' ;
$instanceName->Config['FormatIndentator'] = "	" ;
$instanceName->Config['FormatIndentator'] = "\t" ;
$instanceName->Config['FormatIndentator'] = "'	'" ;

fails. In the first three cases, NaN (not a number) is placed into the HTML source. In the fourth case, a tab surrounded by ' marks is put in (so a tab seems actually possible, just not on its own!)

When an image is drag-and-dropped into the edit field the onmouseover and other event attributes remain intact. There should of course be server-side validation, but currently the XHTML snippets produced are unsafe in themselves and make javascript code injection way too easy.

The ability to define a MaxLength (in characters, including underlying HTML tags) would be very useful in order to ensure that the FCKeditor data will "fit" into a Db column. I'd think that this functionality would be relativity trivial if it were to leverage the Undo/Redo functionality (on a change, the length is tested and if it's too long then automatically "undo" the change and display some kind of message). It would also be nice if this functionality could be pegged to the underlying Textarea's maxlength attribute value (even though this is not a standard recognized attribute on a Textarea, though I could be convinced to the contrary).

I cannot seem to find information relating to this feature in the Wiki (which I found very odd) but if this is a dupe or if there is a (non-obvious) method for accomplishing this with FCKeditor I'd greatly appreciate the information.

Hi, I very miss table autoformat and other function to style table. Is possible to generate table with some enhanced tags. In this case everybody will be able to design table by CSS class (Because there will be chance to design first row, first column and every second row]. Here is example that you can know what I mean.

<TABLE >
  <CAPTION></CAPTION>
  <THEAD>
  <TR>
    <TH scope=col></TH>
    <TH scope=col></TH>
    <TH scope=col></TH>
  </TR>
  </THEAD>
  <TFOOT>
  <TR>
    <TH scope=row></TH>
    <TD ></TD>
    <TD ></TD>
  </TR>
  </TFOOT>
  <TBODY>
  <TR>
    <TH scope=row></TH>
    <TD></TD>
    <TD></TD>
  </TR>
  <TR class=odd>
    <TH scope=row></TH>
    <TD></TD>
    <TD></TD>
  </TR>

and so on ....

Currently fckeditor allows custom file browser(f.b.) depending on the setting "(Image|File..)BrowserURL". This does not allow us to control how the custom f.b. shows up. It always opens as a pop-up window. What if one wants to use a f.b. that uses a floating div instead of a pop-up. or what if one wants to respond to the opening of the f.b. window.

In tinymce there is the "file_browser_callback" setting that is used to specify the function running when f.b. button is clicked. This allows a complete customization on how f.b. opens and functions. It would be really useful to implement a similar thing and overwrite the default f.b. opening function.

thanks.

Currently FCKeditor uses aspell with an exec call to perform spell checking operations.

For security reasons, many sites have exec calls disabled. It would be nice to offer different spell check options.

• aspell (exec)
• pspell (language dependent)
• web api (google spellcheck).

I would like to have an option to switch to a larger set of icons in the toolbar for my visually-impaired clients. Ideally, there would be toolbars with the standard 16x16 buttons and a way to switch those to (1) 24x24 or 32x32 buttons (or, preferably one of each!) and (2) an option to include text labels under each button.

As video displays become more and more powerful, the old 16x16 mini-icons may not always meet the needs of an aging population ofcomputer users. Having a large-icon version of the editor means that web developers like myself will be able to taylor sites to meet the needs of a wider audience.

Many properties are missing on tags in the Edit windows. I think at least ID and CLASS properties should be there for every Tag.

Easy way : Could you add those properties inside the Edit Window?

Hard way : Perhaps you should use some reflection to find all editable properties, or allow user to setup a list of editable property by tag.

Thanks.

Hi,

The editor is great, and has a lot of features. But first-time users might be intimidated by all the features.

Maybe it is possible to use 2 Toolbarsets, Basic and Advanced. If you click the Collapse/Expand button, the toolbar could switch from Basic to Advanced.

This way the new users could start with a simple toolbar, and the experienced user can expand the toolbar and have all the available options.

I would like to suggest building support for an <any> element that will apply to any element (equivalent to a ".sample" in the stylesheet which can be applied to anything).

for people who don't know what i'm talking about take a look at /FCKeditor_2.0rc2/_docs/contents/006.html in the latest release.

So for example - instead of this:

<Styles>
<Style name="Bold Red" element="span">
<Attribute name="style" value="font-weight: bold;
color: Red;" />
</Style>

I would like to be able to do this:

<Styles>
<Style name="Bold Red" element="*">
<Attribute name="style" value="font-weight: bold;
color: Red;" />
</Style>

I think this would go a long way in helping not to confuse non power-users who will not understand that they cannot find the style "Bold Red" when they have a table cell selected for example when all they want to do is get the text Red.

Also I think when a user selects an entire paragraph, then the p tag should get the class assigned as opposed to nesting a span tag inside the p tag.

And when the user selects the same paragraph again (because it unintuitively gets unselected after applying a style) and applies a different style, the previous style should get *overwritten* instead of having the new style nested within the old one.

It makes for cleaner html and will go along way in reducing html clutter.

Back when we re-invented the wheel every time we needed something, we created our own DHTML editor. We have long since abandoned it in favor of FCKeditor, however one feature that we used to have that everybody asks for still is the ability to edit html comments in wysiwyg mode.

We had a button, similar to the 'view source' button that when it was "on", would scan the content, find any HTML comments, and insert pretty image open/close brackets around them and make them editable. Essentially this becomes a way to "red line" and take annotations within HTML code. When the "view comments" option was unselected, it hid all the comments again.

I still have working code from our editor that does this, should you be interested in seeing it, I would gladly provide it to you.

Thanks,

Add capability to creat a pop-up information window. It would work this way:

After highlighting the text or image to which the pop-up would be attached and selecting the create pop-up window icon a property box would come up. One of the fields would contain the text (and any additional links) to be displayed when the pop-up is activated. When selected from the browser a fixed size window would pop-up containing the text. There would be a scroll bar on the right side and a "Close Window" on the top.

Is there any way we can add a field to link a style sheet into the document properties page (when editing a full html page)? For normal editing when the text will be incorporated right into the site, setting the editor's css before writing the editor is good enough. However for a full page, although it previews with that style sheet, it doesn't actually write it into the page when submitting it. One would need to manually type in the css link.

When doing cut/copy/paste, frequently, bullets are left behind.

Happens when you try to delete or move up the second line in a list of at least 3.

Cut&pasting of indented bullets goes wrong most of time and you have to make manuel cleanup afterwards.

Most Cut&Paste problems are due to the fact that when you delete a bulleted or indented line, the bullet or indentation is left behind and sometimes applied to the following lines. This happens as well with Firefox as with IE.

Example :

<ul>
  <li>
    <p>AA </p>
  </li></ul><p>BB </p>

• select the AA line and delete it

Result in FCK:

<ul><li>BB </li></ul>.

Hello!

I think the most dramatic upgrade I'd love to see to the editor would be to have unordered list menus CSS. A quick example:

<ul class="something">
<li><a href="#">Nav link 1</a></li>
<li class="selected"><a href="#">Nav link 2</a></li>
<ul class="something2">
<li class="selected2"><a href="#">Subnav link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">subnav link 2</a></li>
</ul>
<li><a href="#">Nav link 3</a></li>
</ul>

UL lists give much more flexibility with CSS styling, and one can always create a separate template that gives CSS dropdown capabilities, which a user could choose to use but wouldn't come as default to keep it simple for people.

You can right click on a list, and the list properties dialog appears. This could give the option to add CSS class for the entire list. It would also be good to think of a way to class specific items in the list as in my example.

Thanks for your time!

It would be cool to be able to have some keyboard-based (non-mouse) way to access custom templates. It's already possible to assign a custom keystroke to open the Templates pop-up (I use Control-Y) but it would be super cool to be able to follow that up with a keystroke that selects and inserts one of the templates.

If there are multiple editors on the page and there are spelling errors in more than one editor ieSpell finds and corrects the errors in the first one, highlights the first spelling error in the next one and then IEXPLORE.EXE starts using all of the CPU and is not responding.

Thanks,

Great work the editor, folks!

As the subject says - There are parts of FCKeditor that mix GET and POST parameters by putting a query string on the "action" bit of a POST'd form, specifically :

fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/frmupload.html

This is NOT RFC-compliant - you're supposed to pick one method and stick to it. RFC-compliant CGI parameter parsers will be unable to see the query-string encoded values in the action parameter when you POST. Making FCKeditor conform to the RFCs will make it work better in more places.

There's certainly a better way to do the javascript, but here's a "fixed" version of frmupload.html from the default integration interface.

If user clicks to either expand or reduce the editor the ToolbarStartExpanded setting is applied on postback.

Steps to reproduce

- Add simple dropdown with AutoPostback set true
- Set FCKEditor's .ToolbarStartExpanded false
If Not Me.IsPostBack Then
With Me.FCKeditor1
.ToolbarSet = "Standard"
.ToolbarStartExpanded = False
.Visible = True
End With
End If
- Run up form and click to expand toolbar
- Select value in dropdown to force postback
- Note that the toolbar has not expanded

The above is true in reverse, i.e. ToolbarStartExpanded=True, user clicks to reduce the toolbar is expanded following postback.

Hi.

There should be a button that insert BR with CLEAR="ALL", and there should be a placeholder visible in FCKeditor for that tag as well. And eventually possible to use other values as well, such as LEFT or RIGHT instead of ALL.

Let say you insert an image or table and make it either left or right align so text can wrap around the object. ​http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1296087&group_id=75348&atid=543656 Let say you write some text left of inserted object (if you right aligned the object above), but not so much text that the text are continuing below the object.

If you now want to continue writing another section from a place below the inserted object above then you would (today) have to insert multiple normal line-breaks <br /> in order to get to the bottom of the right aligned object. (or have I missed something here? )

IMHO that is not the correct way of doing it. And I think the correct way would be to insert one:

<br clear="all" />

to continue writing after the right aligned object.

( if one use <br /> tags to get below the object then this would not nessesarily look very good if the content is displayed in a container that is wider or narrower than the editor area when writing.... which of course is very likely to happen )

Okay.... writing a plugin that creates the button and the function that insert the needed <br clear="all" /> should not be to hard, but would be nice if FCK could do this as I also want to see a nice placeholder for the new tag... something similar to the placeholder for the Anchor.

I noticed that if I add the following to the source: <div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:200px; height:115px; z-index:1; left: 146px; top: 90px;">Here is a floating layer</div>

Then click OK.

If I click on the layer in the editor window, I am able to use the handles to resize the layer, and move it's absolute position. Since the capability to manipulate floating layers is already in the editor, why not add a button that will either insert the layer in the editor, or convert the selected text to a floating layer, or whatever?

It would also be a good idea to insert code for a right-click feature to change the layer info such as ID, etc.

This floating frame capability would make FCKEditor one of the very few editors with this feature. I have yet to find one that has this feature that works in Mambo/Joomla.

I know you try to cover php, JS, asp etc., but one file would be so much easier to work with. 'myconfig.js' could be used - if exists - and if exists, it would have everything in it.

I want to get the pure content,i.e. the value of the editor discarding all the tags related to format, such as html tags or javascript tags. In other word, I need not the html source in the editor but the all text displayed on the html page without any tags.

A new method is desirable to implement such a function.

The current implementation of Protected Source puts a comment like <!--{PS..0}--> so the user has no indication that there is something special there or any way to change that content except switching to source code and finding it there.

A great improvement would be to show an icon in those places, like it is done with <a> anchors. And secondly be able to edit the protected code in a popup window.

Hi,

I think personally it would be great if the source code view had wrap="off" to prevent line breaks where the source code actually continues and also the ceaseing of line breaking charactar striping so that you can indent source code and make new lines in the code without that disappearing on "OK".

Example.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('yay!');
</script>
<?php
echo "Hello again!";
?>

--> Upon click becomes

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('yay!');
</script> <?php
echo "Hello again!";
?>

That line breaker should be left intact?!

Thanks! Keep it up, love 2.2!

Hi Fred,

It would be great if we could set the spell check language independantly of the toolbar languauge.

For example, I may be an English user who has the task to writting / edit content in French. I'd still like the English toolbar (as that is my mother tongue), but would like to be able to spell check the document in the language it is composed in.

This would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi there, it would be a really nice default behavior if the save button could "dim" immediately after a save, and reactivate on a change to the editor contents. In other words, behaving like typical desktop apps.

(In my case, I am submitting the form via an iframe without refreshing the whole page.)

Similarly, it would be nice if I could programmatically dim/reactivate the Save button -- such that when another field in my form changes, I can reactivate the Save button in the editor.

Thanks,

I've noticed that an ongoing issue for many is that setting up file and image upload is difficult. Part of the reason is there is no documentation about how paths to the File etc folders are created, and also there is no feedback if you get it wrong - nothing to help with fixing it.

In using the plugin ImageManager from Zhuo, I noticed that it was much easier to fix config problems with upload directories because the code reports, when it can't access the directory, giving the url that it is trying to use. With just that little bit of feedback, you can usually fix the problem quickly.

If FileManager had some inscreen display, similar to this, I suspect that a lot of those "help me with file upload" problems would go away - or at least some good suggestions could be made for peeple who get the error.

I suggest this as a high priority, since I see many people spending a long time fixing this (and a number giving up after hours or days and not being able to fix it) - and my own experience of 2 days worth of frustrating debugging, trying different upload plugins and code hacking, before I could figure out enough to fix the problems I was having.

The waves of relief and gratitude from implementing this feature would be massive :-)

We're using fckeditor to place flash OE tags in html pages.

Considering the recent changes in the way IE handles Active Content (​http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html) we need to place the OE tags in a different way. (Otherwise flash files need to be activated by user clicking on it, resulting in a border around the flash file on mouse over)

This problem can be solved by placing the OE flash tags using javascript (​http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/ or link above).

Is there a way to let user place flash in fckeditor using the javascript flashobject method?

In the "insert hyperlink"-window, if you select to add link to anchor, the "target" option disappears. If you select the "target" before selecting anchor- link (at default, URL is selected), the "target"- attribute is added to the link as supposed.

The reason for wanting to be able to select target, is that we use "<base target="_blank">" on our site and want anchor-links to be opened in "_top".

Spellcheck - Extra Button to stop spellcheck and apply the changes made upto that point.

With the spellcheck... you can keep correcting errors... and it is only until the last correction is made... that it then applies it.

There is the cancel button... that cancels everything.

Well... there are some times... that I am using the spellcheck... and I want to stop after a few corrections... and actually apply the corrections I have made up to that point. (ie) Not a total cancellation. It would be good if there was a new button that allowed for this to happen.

The Python integration must be compliant with our standard "Server Side Integration" requirements, as defined at ServerSideStatus.

Dear Fred and developers,

The Find would be better able to -

1. show finding status like '10 matches found.' *If matches > 1, the value of find button 'Find' changes to 'Find Next' after user has searched the first match.

2. search again from the beginning if desired word is not found.

[Currently, it starts searching from the cursor point.

For example, we have 3 words - hello. We place our cursor at the back of the last hello. Search it. Find none!]

In this case, the find function should check that

• the cursor should be at the first position.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently the FCKeditor has 4 drop-down menus

1. Style
2. Format
3. Font
4. Size

I'd like to suggest for Font drop-down menu. That menu currently has 6 fonts. Definitely, there are times when user wants to define his desired font not listed in the menu. If so, how to do ?

Simple. Just add a new item named 'Add custom'

which asks user his desired font name and adds code to the text area.

Similarly for font-size, there are times when user wants to define his desired font size not listed in the menu.

By the way, the labels 'Style’,’ Format', 'Font', and 'Size' would be better in the drop-down index 0 for the sake of spaces in the editor toolbar - we can even add more buttons at that line, resulting more precise toolbar.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

We can add more smiley icons by providing 'more' link.

Even if the icons are dozens, the more link can also be enhanced by dividing categories presented as a drop-down menu.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The algorithm is simple.

BEGIN PROCEDURE 
	Enumerate all (currently-focused) row td data except thead/th data.
	Get them with Regex
	Add them to array
	Sort using array.sort function - We get it in an Ascending order!
	Sort using array.reverse function - We get it in an Descending order!
END PROCEDURE

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

The button will work like Format Painting button in word application.

First, the user needs to select some text. [Yeah, the button is disabled by default till user selects some text.] The function will copy the format used in the selected text. Then the button is in pressed state.

Ok, now the user can select some texts he wants to format-paint or just drop cursor at top of some texts to do so.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

Dear Fred and developers,

Currently, the color picker in FCKeditor is basic. [ I'm not degrading it!] There are already some great JavaScript Cross-Platform Color Pickers on the web. Please inherit any one you feel great.

​http://www.google.com/search?q=Javascript+Color+Picker

Thank you so much for your time, consideration and hardwork.

It's common for toolbar buttons in other applications to do a default action if you click on the button face, and only drop a panel (as FCKToolbarPanelButton does) when you click the arrow -- if there is one. At present, FCKToolbarPanelButton doesn't maintain the distinction between dropping down the panel and making a default action.

Enclosed is a patch to enable ToolbarPanelButton to pass to the toolbar command object whether or not the user clicked the dropdown arrow or the face, so that the command object can behave accordingly. This also adds the ability for ToolbarPanelButton to be context-sensitive -- necessary if you're implementing things like UL and OL.

Also enclosed is a plugin that uses the patched functionality. The plugin overloads FCKTextColorCommand so that the last color you used is the default action on the button face. It also adds DropOL, DropUL, and DropFontSize to use the same functionality to provide dropdowns for setting your OL/UL styles and font sizes.

In local testing, the patches to ToolbarPanelButton are sufficiently encapsulated so as not to break existing ToolbarPanelButtons.

I believe the language of FCKeditor user interface has to be identical to the language of the page that contains an FCKeditor instance.

But if one set FCKConfig.AutoDetectLanguage = true ; the result will depend on the browser that a user use to browse Web.

In IE the FCKeditor language is identical to system locale settings. In Firefox it equals the value of general.useragent.locale property (see about:config). In Safari it is always English (at least on Windows).

Btw, there is no way to know the language of the current page.

So is it really useful option?

Each connector uses it's own config file, perl's not. And correct me if I'm wrong, it contains a possible security hole here:

	if($FORM{'ServerPath'} ne "") {
		$GLOBALS{'UserFilesPath'} = $FORM{'ServerPath'};
		if(!($GLOBALS{'UserFilesPath'} =~ /\/$/)) {
			$GLOBALS{'UserFilesPath'} .= '/' ;
		}
	} else {
		$GLOBALS{'UserFilesPath'} = '/userfiles/';
	}

by sending malformed ServerPath we can make some bad things. I think that it would be good to adjust perl connector to our standards (so that ServerPath could be defined in cofig file, not as a part of url) and btw. it would be good to make it's own page in ​http://wiki.fckeditor.net/ (Integration section).

It would be nice to have a feature to manage definition lists. For example:

<dl>
   <dt>blackbird</dt>
   <dd>A black bird with an orange beck, often found in gardens.</dd>

   <dt>sparrow</dt>
   <dd>A small, brown/grey bird, often found in gardens.</dd>
</dl>

<dl> opens the definition list, <dt> lists the term and <dd> tells the definition. A special type of list, that is starting to get used more and more.

Regards,

the thing is that I would like to be able to set the popup window feature directly from the Image Proporties dialog, without having to go to the Link dialog.

So, can you add popup window feature for Link - Target, to the Image Properties - Link, Target?

For links with their target set to popup, it would be nice to have a "center of screen" option, rather than specifying the coordinates. Due to the variety of screen resolutions, this would make sure it's in the same place very time.

Happens in Fx and IE7:

2. Select all from the toolbar or context menu.
   
3. Press either backspace or delete, menu formatting is cleared.
   
4. Note: if instead of delete, you started typing then formatting is not lost.

Reported in ​http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7251

When the cursor is placed next to (as IE puts it) a "control" element, such as an image or a table, it should select it on delete / backspace.

This improves the intuitiveness of deleting and makes sure people dont delete things accidently.

Here is a function partially implemented which does this

FCKListsLib.ControlElements = {'img':1, 'table':1, 'input':1};

// Helper function upon deleting a node that may be a control (must select it first)
// A control is something like an image or table which can be selected with the cursor
FCKEnterKey.prototype.HandleControlNodeSelect = function(pRange, bIsForward)
{
	// Check to see if we are about to delete an image or table
	// TODO: this is IE specific at the moment!
	if(FCKBrowserInfo.IsIE)
	{
		// TODO: this only works when a element is in a block
		var pStartBlock = pRange.StartBlock;

		if(pStartBlock)
		{
			var iDirection = bIsForward ? 0 : -1;
			var iOffset = pRange._Range.startOffset;
			var pPrevious = pStartBlock.childNodes[iOffset + iDirection];

			if(pPrevious && FCKListsLib.ControlElements[nodeGetTagName(pPrevious)] != null)
			{
				FCKSelection.SelectNode(pPrevious);
				return true;
			}
		}
	}
	
	return false;
}

The current default does not seem very sensible - right-clicking on a <th> table heading cell and inserting a row after adds another th row rather than a td as would be expected.

Undo works like a charm, but when resizing an image this cannot be undone with the undo system. It would be great if this would be incorporated.

See ​http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/1511#comment:20 for reasons why this issue has not been fixed.

My site uses css to define some default tables. fckEditor table dialog can not overwrite the css system, because the css has prioiry over html atributes. We have recoded the table dialogs to add css rules dynamicly to the page. Files attached with code and screen dumps.

Usefulness of the "Replace" tab of the Find/Replace dialog is greatly diminished without a "Find Next" button. To be selective about search and replace requires both tabs with their separate search fields. (You must enter what you're looking for twice)

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I think the find / replace tabs could be combined in a dialog with no tabs while being more useful. If the "Find Next" button was added to the replace tab, it could concurrently serve all Find / Replace purpose as a simpler, more intuitive and easier to use tab-less dialog. (e.g. Like the "Edit | Replace..." dialog of Notepad.)

Up / down radio buttons could also have significant value if this dialog must be modal, unlike being modeless with Notepad. (or like an always on top floating dialog of the kind I see targeted for v2.6)

BTW: Replace tab isn't selected (at least in IE7) on pressing the 'Replace' toolbar button, but the above suggestion would make this irrelevant.

I have a custom style with a foreground of white:

'custom1' : { Element: 'span', Styles : { 'font-family' : 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif', 'font-size' : '11px', 'font-weight' : 'normal', 'color' : '#FFFFFF', 'line-height' : '16px' } },

this style is invisible in the styles drop down, because the styles drop down list shows what the style is of each style, so my custom style with a text color of white is invisible because the background of the drop down list is white also.

I would try to detect this and if so change the text color so users can see it, sort of like how dreamweaver does it.

I will include screenshots.

(Maybe this is an enhancement request)

Browsers: Firefox 2.0.0.11 (win+lin), IE6+7

Shortcuts for undo and redo works fine when in source view, but the toolbar buttons is deactivated. The "Select all" toolbar button is active and it would be nice to have the undo/redo buttons active as well.

The color that Underline and Strikethrough take is inconsistent. Consider these two examples:

• begin typing text
• switch Font Color to Red
• Select 'Strikethrough,' type some more

Result:

The strikethrough is red.

• Type some text
• Highlight the text, change the color to Red,
• With the selection still highlighted, select 'Strikethrough'

Result:

The strikethrough is black.

Reversing the order in which styles are added in both scenarios produce the opposite result.

Expected behavior should probably be that the strikethrough and underline always take the current color of the text.

Hello. I've tried to find this kind of feature request without any success. So I think it will be very useful if the webmaster will be able to setup initial HTML code for the "blank" page created by the "new page" button. In this case all important parts, such as css file + special headers and footers, which correspond to the site design, will be inserted into the new file automatically.

Thank you.

Since it is possible to set allowed/denied file extensions for all 4 file types, there properties should be checked everywhere a file is going to be upload.

For example, if you upload a file directly through the image plugin it checks for a valid extension. If you upload through the file browser, it does not check for extensions. It has to be made on the server.

This complete coverage would make it superfluous to check for the extension on the server-side.
