	The problem is that the code block needs to be in a div tag:- <div class="QuoteBlock"> quote here </div> The problem is in order for IE to do single line spacing in the RTE IE uses div tags these div tags can overlap into the quote area coursing the problem eg:- <div>IE line break <div class="QuoteBlock"> </div>quote here </div> This then courses the quote block to be rendered incorrectly. I have tried using various different tags for the quote block from span tags, to even random HTML tags to make the quote block work. The nearest I have got is using table, but then this can course issues of it's own. Edited by -boRg- - 19 August 2006 at 7:43pm

	What changed between wwf 7.x and 8.x that resulted in the problem? I guess maybe I need to go look at some of the data in my DB and see what the line break fuss is all about. I am not famaliar with that issue. I am confused why it worked in 7 but not 8.

	Version 7 used legacy HTML with many nested tables, meaning that pre XHTML/CSS browsers like Netscape 4 were supported but rendering times were bad, bulky page sizes, and difficult to use skins. Version 8 has changed and nested tables have gone and the code changed to XHTML and CSS. This means faster page rendering, more standards compliant, less bandwidth used, and simpler to implement skins.

	It's funny how I see a lot of blame placed on IE but the same exact problem appears in Firefox, Opera, or whatever browser I use to view/reply posts. I wrote a function to re-format the quote tags directly from the database and that worked for new replies but not for old ones already in the DB. My function just moved the /quote to be in order, so quotes show in order as individual boxes, not nested ones. The problem is incorrect ordering of /quote tags in the DB - it has nothing at all to do with browsers. I wish it was as simple as IE, then I could just detect IE and serve modified content. I'm thinking about using that function and writing another to update old replies so it finally works...

	I think you are completely missing the point about what IE injects into the page and how by trying to fix the issue with IE it effects other browsers, it's also not the browser it's viewed in but the browser it's posted in that effetc the problem, please search for more posts on this topic so you have a better idea of what the issue is. Anyway, none of this matters now as the problem has been fixed for 8.5 when it is released

	I'm aware of where the problem lies - so aware that I fixed it. I wrote a function that formats the quotes correctly on the read post page. The same function could easily format the quotes upon insert as well. IE, Firefox....whatever, it's just data in the end and can be manipulated in many different ways. I use various RTE controls in ASP and .NET apps and I have yet to experience an IE div tag issue, but I haven't written a forum app either.

	That sounds great -boRg- So far the forum has worked perfectly for me and you've done a great work with it I think.
