Re: Firefox 3 and fckeditor

Hi Mike,

The newest version of FCKeditor has some fixes for some Firefox 3 issues. I've already upgraded to this version in svn trunk so it will be in the next release.

Hopefully this includes the fix for the paste as word issue.It does say something about fixing some bug in the cleanup logic which I think means the html cleaning they do for things pasted in.

I'm not a big fan of pasting from Word. Word makes notoriously nasty markup and I don't have enough confidence in any cleanup process. I know you are doing it for color coded code samples, but my concern would be whether the resulting page would pass the w3c validator after pasting content from Word.

Best,

Joe

Re: Firefox 3 and fckeditor

Since I am running currently on localhost, I am not able to directly test the w3c validator.  I am currently waiting on my shared hosting company to get everything in place so I can put MojoPortal on my shared host.

If I just take a plain aspx page on my current shared host and copy the Source from from fckeditor into the aspx page.  Then, run w3c validator, will this confirm if I am getting valid pages via the Word Paste?

You can test your local pages in the validator easily.  Just right click anywhere on the page using the browser and choose "View Source", then Control a to select, Control c to copy and Control v to paste it into the validator using direct input.

Re: Firefox 3 and fckeditor

I used the validator on my pages that I used Word Paste.  The four pages I tried all came back with Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.  Some pages also had images.  For these, I pasted from Word, inserted the images, and then pasted from Word.  I am happy that Word Paste is doing a good job.  It sure makes it easy for me to maintain my color coding of the code samples.

Re: Firefox 3 and fckeditor

Glad to hear its validating! Maybe Word 2007 produces better markup than previous versions or maybe the FCKeditor cleanup is just really good now. I may have to try it myslef for code examples.

Best,

Joe
