TinyMCE Editor - adding extra code

Morning all...

TS 7.3.1
TinyMCE v3.1.2

I am trying to use an onClick function for an button in the TinyMCE editor.

When I toggle to the HTML view, I enter the following:
[html]

[/html]

When I "update" and close the HTML window, back to visual editor view, then once more back to the HTML code, the editor has added all kinds of additional code which looks like this:

[html]

[/html]

Which when generated, kills the input button...

I am looking at the TinyMCE configuration files, and in the TinyMCE forum documentation, and think that the "apply_source_formatting" variable should be set to "false", but looks as though there are multiple places that this variable is set.... and its not actually set to True or False, it is set to "0" zero...

AND...is that even the proper variable to set...

Should there be something else I need to look at?

Which browser are you using? IE/FF

Wow... as crazy as it sounds, it only does this using IE8..

FF9 and Chrome do not do this...

Why would that only happen in IE?

Yes, tinymce issue using IE.

I think you can add function in tinymce.js to remove the added function ().

This is bug in version of TinyMCE used by TeamSite. It is outlined here:

http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=17632

To resolve I injected the below line into tinymce js:

v = ('' + v).replace(/^function\s+on(click|change)\(\)\s+\{\s+(.*)\s+\}$/, '$1');

And here it is in context:


if (n.indexOf('on') === 0 && v) {
 v = ('' + v).replace(/^function\s+anonymous\(\)\s+\{\s+(.*)\s+\}$/, '$1'); // for IE7 
 // hack to address this bug:
 // http://www.tinymce.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=17632
 v = ('' + v).replace(/^function\s+on(click|change)\(\)\s+\{\s+(.*)\s+\}$/, '$1');
}

NOTE:
This will not remove the extraneous code from existing DCRs. It will only prevent it from generating anew.

You can resolve this by adding the required form elements to extended_valid_elements in custom_config.js
