I think my question runs along the same vein as these have...

I'm using a Mac and Safari to access this message board. When I submit
anything from the Post Reply or New Post text box it places a BR at the
end of each line in the input box rather than letting the text wrap
normally to the end of the displaying table.

This should be evident in seeing how this post is being displayed
compared to others. Does anyone have any clue why this is happening or
what I can do to prevent it from happening?

i have deleted the check bit you added above ok.

and have also deleted your last post which stated the above.

Which is why the one on this site is the only multi platform, and multi browser WYSIWYG editor within a forum system.

bruce im not sure but would be able to use javascript to look at the source and if they put <p> it changes it to <br>... i know that people would say what about if you want to write <p> but that would be &lt;p&gt;  ...

i say use javascript as you require it anyway to use the features.

this is jusy an idea... ill keep looking

There's a WYSIWIG editor called htmlarea at http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/Open_Source_C3/

One of the mods was to replace the <P> tags with <br>. Javascript IIRC. One of the problems was that is screwed up lists as each list item ends in a hard return.

I always thought something could be done with css by using a different paragraph class for rte paragraphs. You could specify a different bottom-margin for those paragraphs. Might not show within the rte, but could show on the post page at the least.

Something else for the "One-of-these-days" list


Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
