Web Wiz Rich Text Editor ver 2.0 TESTING

Hi -borg-,

I just tested the new RTE. Very nice.

Here are 2 minor issues that I saw under FireFox 1.0 with WinXP.

1. The "justify" button does not do a full justify. It appears to only do a left justify exactly like the actual left justify button.
2. If I insert a horizontal rule, then by default that rule is set to size 2. If I try to use the HTML view and modify the size it will not let me. I can manually edit most of the other tags, but that one acts very odd.

Also, you mentioned that this one will be much easier to implement. This issue was one of the reasons that I looked into some other editors over your last one. If you can get it much easier to implement, then I'm definitely "sold" on it. It looks great!

I thought i saw something a long time ago on a java script websites that did that. If i run across it again ill post it. Already done, if you use IE on the new editor, if you hit return it puts in a <br> instead of <p>, so you don't get those annoying double line spaces.

Using <br> instead of <p> replaces a block tag with an inline tag and screws up the list functionality.

A better solution would be an rte style sheet with <p> magin-bottom and padding-bottom set to 0.

I have exactly the same setup and I can not replicate either the problems you mention

I did look into using CSS to set the <p> tag, but then when you submit the form it will still be submitted with the <p> tag so when you try and display the input in something like a forum it will still have <p>, unless you use CSS to change all <p> tags on the page it is displayed in, which isn't always practicle.

The list functionality still works, but is a little quirly now, you have to go to the begining of the last block ahd hit return to remove the list from it.

The implementation I found at the moment is the best comprimise I can find, I have tried many ways to do it differently using CSS etc. over the last 3 years.

It's just a shame that IE have choose in their RTE implementaion to have a <p> tag when you hit return and many people do complain about it.

The only solution I have found is that now when you hit return, is that it detects that a return key is pressed, then inserts a <br> tag instead of a <p> tag.

It took me the best part of 8 or 9 hours or trial, error and testing to come up with the following small function to insert <br> in IE instead of <p>. (This function is for IE only, Firefox have implemented the return key to insert a <br> tag already, so this function isn't required for Gecko based browsers)

//Detect if the enter key is pressed function IEkeypress(){     //run if enter key is pressed     if (frames.message.window.event.keyCode==13){         var editor = document.getElementById('message')         var selectedRange = editor.contentWindow.document.selection.createRange();         var parentElement = selectedRange.parentElement();         var tagName = parentElement.tagName;         while((/^(a|abbr|acronym|b|bdo|big|cite| code|dfn|em|font|i|kbd|label|q|s|samp|select|small|span|st ri ke|strong|sub|sup|textarea|tt|u|var)$/i.test(tagName)) & ;& (tagName!='HTML')){             parentElement = parentElement.parentElement;             tagName = parentElement.tagName;         }         //Insert <br> instead of <p>         if (parentElement.tagName == 'P' || parentElement.tagName == 'BODY' || parentElement.tagName == 'HTML' || parentElement.tagName == 'TD' || parentElement.tagName == 'THEAD' || parentElement.tagName == 'TFOOT'){             selectedRange.pasteHTML('<br >');             selectedRange.select();             return false;         }     }     return true; }
