    editor defaulting to <br> instead of <p>

    Reply Quote
    When I press enter in the editor window, it adds <br> tags instead of <p> tags.  Does anyone know where I can change this?  A quick response would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

    That doesn't seem to have changed the default behavior.  When I type something in and press Enter, it still inserts a <br> and goes to the next line.  I've pasted the script below for your viewing pleasure.  Is there something I'm missing?  Thanks again.

    Dan,
     
    The configuration looks good to me.
     
    Can you try this example?
     
     
    Do you have problems with it?
     
    Can you tell me which version you are using?

    I suspect I'm using the most current version of CuteEditor for ASP.  It was purchased only a couple weeks ago.

    I tried the example listed above and clicking the radio buttons doesn't seem to cause any change in the behavior of pressing the Enter key.

    I have found that if I type in a paragraph and then highlight it and choose Normal from the "Paragraph" drop-down, it does wrap the selection in <p> ... </p> tags.  However, I need the default behavior to use the paragraph tags so when a user starts to type in an empty editor window, it defaults to putting their text in a paragraph.

    Thanks.

    IMO using a br as a break element will cause you problems.  Some of the editor tools do not work properly, in particular the numbered and bulleted lists.  For specific details look at this post:
     


    I am still waiting for an answer to my post from the moderators.  Are you experiencing the same behaviours as I have illustrated in the post?  If you click the html button at the foot of the preview screen (after entering some text) you will see they are using div as the break element.  div seems to behave as it should, I suggest using div and are very interested to hear if you or any other users are having the same problems as myself.  I would rather use a br than a div as Im sure most would (if not at least want the option to)

    HTH 
     
    BTW:  Have you tryed this editor using IE 5.5 - if so:
    Can you get it to post values to a destination page?
    Are your HTML and Preview buttons working or do they give you client side erorrs (undefined is null or not an object)?

    Sorry if I wasn't clear above, but my intent is to default to using the <p> tag.  There are dozens of reasons to use <p> tags to mark-up paragraphs as opposed to using <br> or <div>, many related to accessibility and syntactical HTML, but now is not the time for that discussion... 

    I have found with further testing that the solution Adam provided above does cause the editor to use <p> as the default formatting when pressing the Enter key in IE 6, but not Firefox (I haven't tested in IE 5/5.5 yet).  I've also been having a problem with Firefox frequently crashing at the point where it starts to load the editor.  Telling my users to simply use IE as opposed to Firefox is not an option.  It seems this product is not as compatible with Firefox as it advertises.

    Adam, if you or anyone can provide some insight it would be much appreciated.
