 Topic: WYSIWYG limitation ?
Posted: 10 July 2003 at 6:04am |
hi everyone,
I'd like to ask you something about the WYSIWYG. 
It seems that in WYSIWYG mode, the ENTER key leads to jump a lign ... as between those 2 sentences. I heard it was a WYSIWYG limitation, because of its spacing's width.
If it's right, is there a way to bypass this limitation ?
Thank you for thinking about it and please forget me for this frenglish, i guess it wasn't really well said. 
Edgard

With IE when you hit return the IE Rich Text Editor places in <p> tags giving a line space when you hit return, but if you hit SHIFT -> Return it puts in a <br> and only jumps by one line. Maybe Microsoft will change this in future versions of IE.
In Mozilla and Netscape 7.1 the WYSIWYG editor only moves by 1 line when you hit return as the Rich Text Editor has been implement differently in these browsers.

thank you -boRg-, i successfully test Shift + Return.
But this tip isn't really handy for common user (maybe i'm wrong  ) ... i may keep the classic editor (divided in Basic or Prompt), because i've got a lot of Macintosh users on my forum, the WYSIWYG editor didn't work with, even with IE (but i wonder with Safari, the apple's browser) ... and it's the same with Opera.
Finally, as usual, it's a pity each browser uses different implementation. Rich Text Editor implement should be identical, whatever the browser is. 
Did you try the WYSIWYG editor with Amaya ? This browser (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/) is made by the World Wide Web Consortium which *tries* to standardize internet rules.

Ive used WYSIWYG editors on other PHP forums and it moves one line. I think its just the way this editor was built (no offense borg).

I just test, it can't use the WYSIWYG editor, as IE for Mac.

Microsoft have not implemented the Rich Text Editing features in the Mac version of IE, but Mozilla 1.3+ and Netscape 7.1 have implemented it across all platforms. Other browsers such as Opera, Safari etc. are yet to implement Rich Text Editing.
MadDog some of the PHP forums that use WYSIWYG editors don't use the standard built in editor in the browser, instead they implement their own from scratch which is why they work differently.
If you can find away around the two line thing then please let me know, but I have spent days looking into it with no avail.

Have you tryed to contact the author of the differently coded WYSIWYG editor and see if you can include it in this forum?

I don't want to, I want to keep to the WW3 standard for Rich Text Editing, this way as more browsers become Rich Text Enabled they can also easily use the WYSIWYG editor without to much alteration to the code. Which is why the one on this site is the only multi platform, and multi browser WYSIWYG editor within a forum system.
