The editor creates   inside p after an enter key

[Alain]

juste type Enter key, and then click on the source button, you will have <p>&nbsp;</p> or <p>&#160;</p> depending on ProcessHTMLEntities var which is not normal I think ! related bugs are 243 267 and 71 :

Please, provide detailed steps to reproduce, including the browser that you're using. It seems to work fine for me in the trunk.

firefox 2.0.0.4 / explorer 7.5730.11 under WinXP or firefox 2.0.0.4 under linux centos-3 to reproduce type in _samples\default.html: (editor with all features) """ hello world

bingo

"""

then toggle to source code:

""" <p>hello world</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;bingo</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> """

I don't see any form or hr there. Could you explain better what's the problem?

[Alain]

the problem for me is the "&nbsp;" or "&#160" insertion between <p></p> ! while a simple space character that can be inserted instead. is it normal to have the &nbsp; instead off a space character ? if not than ok but it's weerd. this cause some problems when decoding html into wiki websites ...

Note: Oh by the way sorry for the tittle . forgate the "form or hr inside p after a enter key" part, I wasin't able to change the title after creation the bug !

That's the proper behavior to make browsers happy.

You can set

FCKConfig.FillEmptyBlocks	= false ;

then it might not be easy to put the cursor inside those empty elements, but you won't get the &nbsp;s

[Alain]

Ok fine, but I have two notes:

1. why puting a &nbsp; instead of " " (a simple white space characters)
2. even with FCKConfig.FillEmptyBlocks = false ; it's better but not perfect :

type "hello" followed by Enter, then "toto" followed by Enter, then a Space, then toggle to source. a &nbsp; will appear. """ hello

toto

""" --> """ <p>hello<br /> coucou<br /> &nbsp;</p> """ NB: if you think that this area is not the right place to have this discussion please let me know Thanks

The reason for adding &nbsp; is quite simple. Just create two html pages. In one of them, place the following code:

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last P</p>

In the other, try with the &nbsp;:

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last P</p>

Open both pages... the difference is obvious.

If for some reason you really don't want them, it is not a big issue to replace all &nbsp; occurrences with a simple space, right?

Replying to leelouch:

There would be no ways to represent the space that "you have typed" otherwise. Spaces in HTML has no value other than separating characters or objects.
