I need a way to STOP the html tidy from running when i submit my html code.
IS there a flag or setting somewhere?

Can you elabarote on html tidy?

And can you give examples?

And can yiu add the usual stuff as well (joomla version, editor version etc.)

Regards

Joomla Version 1.5.20
JoomlaCK Version 3.2

Example: I create a div using the following inline styling
<div style="background-color:#dfe6e8230, 232); font-size: 100%; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,Kalimati,sans-serif; color: rgb(138, 138, 138); text-align: center;" width="100%">

IT kills my background color during the html tidy. Id rather turn it off all together.

Hi Rayge,

Thank you for post.

The problem isn’t really an issue with the editor but rather your code is not CSS2 or CSS3 compliant. While it maybe possible to define your colour in RGB is not a generally accepted because this is normally define in hex colors.

CSS colors are defined using a hexadecimal (hex) notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB), please see: www.w3schools.com/CSS/css_colors.asp for info on this matter.

Take care,


Paul

I understand the relation of it not possibly being compliant. That wasn't my question though.
I dont want the editor modifying my html period. how do i turn it off?

Hi Rayge,

Thank you for post.

The problem is it needs to be valid HTML for the editor to display it back to the browsers in WYSIWYG mode. If the editor cannot understand it will either be misinterpret it or deleted.

Take care,

Ok so there is no option to turn it off then... OK then i will need to change editors. thanks

Regardless of what ediitor you use the html has to be valid otherwise it is going to be interpreted by them and the browser and your code will get change. And even if you used no editor your code will still get interpreted by the browser and it will get changed by FF or blow up in IE.

Of course there is a way to stop the editor from touching specifc parts of your code if you want it protected i.e. if it is some plugin code you dont want the editor to interfere with. But I dont know if that is what you are looking for.

Which i understand.. and again wasnt my point. I used the html as an example. Obviously it would cause an issue with certain browsers. My point was having a wysiwyg editor with the option of turning off html tidy. that was all.

Hi Rayge,

There is no such feature because the 'browser' is tidying up the HTML not the 'editor' and therefore it is not possible to have such a feature.

Kind regards,


Paul
