Turn off the autocorrect in the HTML editors?

Hi everyone,

Our website was developed using MojoPortal, and we've been using it for around 8 months.

There's a lot I love about the framework, but the HTML editors have been giving us a lot of problems. (I realize these are difficult to create, and I'm impressed with how well they actually do.) We frequently cut and paste HTML directly from Dreamweaver, but find that basic tables or divs get scrambled by the editor. Ordinary links with multiple words (something like <a href="#">Link Here</a>) get split apart (<a href="#">Link</a> <a href="#">Here</a>), and other issues along these lines.

My question is: Is there a way to turn off the autocorrecting? 

At the very least, is there a way to make it to accept any HTML we paste in "as is," instead of trying to reformat it fit its logic? That would be helpful!

Re: Turn off the autocorrect in the HTML editors?

In recent versions of mojoPortal, the HTML content feature includes a setting "Use WYSIWYG Editor?" If this checkbox is unchecked, then the editor will not be used, and whatever HTML you enter in the textarea will be saved and used as-is.

If you are missing this setting in your installation, you can upgrade to the latest version of mojoPortal and will be able to take advantage of it.

Just to clarify, this is not something mojoPortal is doing, it is something that the wysiwyg editors do, we use CKeditor and TinyMCE and they each have their own quirks as far as html cleanup that they do. So this checkbox was implemented as a way to bypass using the wysiwyg editor in those cases where you need to make hand crafted html or add javascript that you don't want the editor to mess with.

Thanks Joe and Jamie—I think that will do the trick.
