FCKeditor.Net 2.5 gives wrong output

[Luca Leonardo Scorcia]

If the text typed in the editor contains html codes (like in a HTML tutorial) the content of ctlEditor.Value is messed up.

To reproduce, type into the editor the following lines:

How to format source code: <code>lol</code>

Submit and check the Value property. Expected result: "How to format source code:<br />&lt;code&gt;lol&lt;/code&gt;" Actual result: "How to format source code:<br /><code>lol</code>"

This bug makes impossible to display html codes.

The reason is an error in the FCKeditor.LoadPostData method; the lines

postedValue = postedValue.Replace("&amp;", "&"); postedValue = postedValue.Replace( "&lt;", "<" ) ; postedValue = postedValue.Replace( "&gt;", ">" ) ;

should be instead:

postedValue = postedValue.Replace( "&lt;", "<" ) ; postedValue = postedValue.Replace( "&gt;", ">" ) ; postedValue = postedValue.Replace("&amp;", "&");

This way, the &amp;lt; will be correctly interpreted.
