We have existing XHTML content which contains non-breaking spaces encoded as Unicode character 160 (equivalent to entity reference ampersand-hash-160-semicolon).

 

When I populate the data from the database to CuteEditor, initially the Normal view does not render these non-breaking spaces, i.e. adjacent words are run together.

When I switch to HTML view the spaces are rendered as (ampersand-hash-160-semicolon).

When I switch back to Normal view the spaces are now rendered correctly.

When I switch back to HTML view the spaces are now displayed as   (ampersand-nbsp-semicolon).

When the content is re-saved, however, the spaces appear to be saved as the single non-breaking space character, not as either HTML entity reference.

 

Two questions:

1. Does anyone else see non-breaking spaces being omitted in Normal view when the editor is first populated, and is there a fix or workaround?

2. Can anyone clarify CuteEditor's handling of the various representations of non-breaking spaces?

 

I have set "Disable Autoformating" to True. 

 

I have tried the XHTML demo on the CuteSoft site and can reproduce it there as well.

Saleel,

 

Can you try the following code?

 

 if (!IsPostBack) 
 { 
    Editor1.Text = "test & #160;& #160;";
  }

 

 

CuteEditor converts the & #160; to  .

 

Keep me posted
