style=background-color being applied...

Hello

I am experiencing an odd problem.  Occasionally, if I'm posting using IE wysiwyg, the saved post message will have the following added to the font tag:

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000

I have combed through the asp code of the various files and includes and haven't found where this is being created.  I'm wondering if this has something to do with the execcommand function.

The background color of the textbox strIETextBoxColour (skin_file) is set to #000000.  Perhaps the wysiwyg is somehow picking this up from the textbox body tag and applying it to the font tag?  Even more odd, though, is that it only happens sometimes.

I've fooled around with the wysiwyg buttons and functions in an attempt to recreate the problem, but I can't recreate it on demand.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks very much.  It doesn't seem to relate to odd/even posts for me.

I'm trying the simpler "remove text=#000000" idea first, to see if it solves the problem.  I've done a half dozen test replies to one topic and the problem hasn't resurfaced yet.  If this doesn't solve it, I'll put in the code you suggested.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks again.

I'll give your code a shot, fernan.  After monitoring the posts for a day, it looks like removing the text part of the body tag didn't resolve the issue.  Thanks.

Your code works, with a couple corrections:

After BACKGROUND-COLOR:  there is no quotes; the quotes come after the color, so remove the "".

On one line you refer to lngStartPos as lngLinkStartPos that will give an undefined variable error.

For myself, I have a base text css style that affects all unformatted text (body tag redefine) so by using your code, <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #000000"> was being replaced and left with <FONT >.  This caused the affected test to "ignore" my css rule.  So, I had to adjust the code by adding "<FONT " to the front of the search string and upping the Mid counter from 33 to 40.

This may cause havoc if you allow users to edit their own font attributes as I'm not sure how the font tags are combined...

Personally, I remove font choice, size and colour as it's quite ridiculous what some people consider attractive for reading.  I prefer to have my css dictate the formatting.  They still have bold, italic, and all the buttons, the rest is handled by css.
