Protect table (html) contents

Reply Quote

Hi, I'm hoping you can help me protect my HTML source code.

In my CMS I have placeholders for dynamic data.

One common placeholder is for table rows.

eg.

<table>
<tr><th>Title</th><th>Value</th></tr>
##tabledata##

</table>

The above example would replace ##tabledata## with rows of data from the database.

In previous versions of CuteEditor for ASP, the editor would not change the above source code when switching between Normal and HTML.

Infact, in the Normal view, it would actually show ##tabledata## inside the bottom of the table (outside of any cells).

However, in the new version, the RTE moves ##tabledata## to the top of the <table> tag.

eg.

##tabledata##

<table>
<tr><th>Title</th><th>Value</th></tr>

</table>

This of course completely breaks my CMS.

How can I get it working again like the older version of CuteEditor?

Thanks
Alex

Hi ReqMan,

This is the browser(firefox and google chrome) feature. I test it, works fine on IE.

We will improve it in next version. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Regards,

ken

Thanks for getting back to me Ken.

I checked the latest 6.6 version in IE and it kinda of works.

It doesn't move the placeholder in the HTML view, but the Normal view has the placeholder sitting above the table.

When I used version 6.0, neither Firefox or IE had this problem.

Infact, even the Normal view showed the placeholder inside the table (within the feint table borders).

What has changed between 6.0 and 6.6 to alter the behavior of tables and their contents?

Is there something I can change if you point me in the right direction?

Cheers.

Alex

Sorry to be a pain here, but any news on this issue?

I have many customers who need this functionality back, but I can't go back to version 6 as it has other bugs in it.

Can you fix this or direct me how to fix it?

Cheers

Alex

Hi Adam,

I can replicate it from your demo page in Firefox.

turns into

##test##

All you have to do is go from HTML to Normal and then back again.

IE kind of works, but in the Normal view, the ##test## appears above the table (and it's dotted border), yet stays in the correct HTML position. But it looks like its the wrong place (outside the table) and so is misleading.

The old Cutesoft ver 6 didnt have either of these problems.
It showed the ##test## inside the table borders, and kept it in place in all views.

THanks for your help. This has become a major problem with my CMS and customers.

RegMan,

I suggest you use the following code for the time being:

<table>
     <tbody>
         <tr>
             <th>Title</th><th>Value</th>
         </tr>
         
     </tbody>
</table>

Hi, has there been any development on this critical issue?

Using  doesn't work as it hides the ##tabledata## from the normal view, which is misleading to the user.

This used to work, surely someone can get it working properly again?
