CleanUpHTMLCode and CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML buggy

Reply Quote

I tried using these two functions, and both removed not only extraneous html, but also required html. The former removed styling applied from using styles in the Paragraph style dropdown (I have customized the items in the dropdown). the later removed the opening <table> and <tbody> tags from tables inserted via the table button on the tool bar (it left the closing tags, though).

Bad news.

shland,

Can you post a piece of HTML code which can reproduce the problems?

This was not in the html code of the page... I was calling these in the .NET codebehind. editor.CleanUpHtmlCode(). What it left behind in the editor.Text property is where the missing HTML was. Just use your editor to put in some text, maybe a table or two, call these functions, and view the remaining HTML in the Text property. You'll see it.

All right, getting tired of having to test your software for you and show you all the errors... but here's an example:

My user entered stuff and hit the "save" button in our application. Upon postback, the Editor.Text property contained the following:

"Here is Section Heading Here is section text And a sub section "

then before saving to the database, we might want to call Editor.CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML()... so I did, and afterward this call, the Editor.Text property contains this:

"Here is Section Heading Here is section text And a sub section "

Note that beginning span tags and normal style attributes have been removed. Why? This function should only remove the icky Word HTML, not necessary html.

And the results are not at all what the user created.

And, for one more example, if instead I call Editor.CleanUpHTMLCode() after my user hits "save", the Editor.Text property goes from this:

"Here is Section Heading Here is section text And a sub section "

to this:
"Here is Section Heading Here is section text And a sub section "

I thought this call was to clean up extraneous html, extra tags, etc, not to remove *all* formatting!

I'm seeing something very similar to this myself. I'm evaluating the Editor component, and I put in:

"<div>This is test content for 007 ... <img height=55 src="/image/portal.gif" width=240></div>"

When I call my save routine, what remains in the Editor.Text property is:

"<div>Th "

When my code recalls this truncated snippet from the database and loads it back into the Editor, using the .Text property, the Editor closes the div and span tags, but all the original content following "Th" (e.g. "This is test content ... ") is lost.

Is the eval license crippled to 40 plain text (non-HTML) characters? Is the CleanUpHTML method being called automatically? What's going on?

I'm ready to buy the Enterprise license, but I need to resolve this immediately or find another editor. Thanks for your help!

Doug,

CleanUpHTML method is not being called automatically.

I tried your HTML code in the following example:

http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx

I don't have any problems.

Can you test it again?

Keep me posted

shland,

I've created an online example to test the Editor.CleanUpHTMLCode().

http://cutesoft.net/example/CleanUpHTML.aspx

I can reproduce the problems you mentioned.

We are investigating this issue and will get back to you as soon as possible.

It works in your online example, but I'm testing the .Text property using the Visual Studio debugger immediately upon clicking submit here (in my local code), and the content I entered is definitely being truncated by the Editor control before my code even has a chance to do anything with it.

Is it possible that the freely downloadable trial version is crippled at 40 characters of output? I'd be happy to buy control. In fact, I'm desperate for it, but I need to know that it will work once purchased. Thanks!

Doug,

Please test the following link:

http://cutesoft.net/example/CleanUpHTML.aspx

In this example, I passted the string you mentioned using the .Text property.

The code of this example is as followings:

<%@ Page Language="C#" ValidateRequest="false" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>

</head>
<body>
<form runat="server">

<CE:Editor AllowEditServerSideCode="true" id="Editor1" runat="server" ></CE:Editor> 
 
 <asp:Button id="btnUpdate" onclick="Submit" Runat="server" CssClass="button65" Text="Submit"></asp:Button>
 
 <asp:textbox id="textbox1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Height="250px" Width="730px" Font-Name="Arial"></asp:TextBox> 
 
 Use CleanUpHTMLCode Method: 
 <asp:textbox id="textbox2" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Height="250px" Width="730px" Font-Name="Arial"></asp:TextBox> 


 </form>
</body>

>>Is it possible that the freely downloadable trial version is crippled at 40 characters of output?

No.

First, I'd like to thank you for hanging with me so late into the night. I greatly appreciate your efforts!

I tried your online example successfully, and the only difference I noted between your code and mine was the AllowEditServerSideCode="true" setting. I had mine set to "false", so I changed it to "true", but it had no effect on the truncation.

I'd like to try to replace my license (lic) file either by purchasing the product or with a temporary license/key generated for test purposes only. In the morning, who can I contact about this, and what time zone is CuteSoft in?

Thanks again for all your help!

Doug

Doug,

It should not have any effect to our testing.

>>what time zone is CuteSoft in?

We are in Ontario, Canada. Eastern time.

>>In the morning, who can I contact about this

Please write to karen@cutesoft.net for the purchase issues.

Hello.

I use 5.3.0.0 CuteEditor 5.3 Build 2006-08-18

About function CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML().

In Reference Book I read the following:

CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML() - Use the Clean Up Word HTML function to remove the extraneous HTML code generated by Microsoft Word.

But after invoking CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML() , I have same problem that shland:

This function does not remove only Word HTML...

shland:

-----------------------------------

"Here is Section Heading Here is section text And a sub section "

then before saving to the database, we might want to call Editor.CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML()... so I did, and afterward this call, the Editor.Text property contains this:

"Here is Section Heading Here is section text And a sub section "

-----------------------------------

Is this problem resolved ?

Also what functions on the Client Side have I for cleaning Word HTML ?

Thanks

TEST 1:

WORD NTML

------------------------

Editor1.Text property contains :

"<div> \r\nTest Text Test Text <o:p></o:p>\r\nTest Text <o:p></o:p>\r\nTest Text <o:p></o:p>\r\nTest Text <o:p></o:p>\r\n</div>\r\n";

Editor1.CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML();
Editor1.Text property contains :
"\r\n <div>\r\n \r\nTest TextTest Text Test Text Test Text Test Text \r\n </div>\r\n";
-----------------

TEST 2:

NORMAL HTML

------------------------

Editor1.Text property contains :

"<div>Test text  \r\n<div>Test text </div>\r\n<div>Test text </div>\r\n<div>Test text </div>\r\n</div>\r\n";

Editor1.CleanUpMicrosoftWordHTML();
Editor1.Text property contains :

In the bottom of your page, add the following code and put your own filter logic there.

// clean code here
 return code;
 }
</script>
