editor changes my html code!

[ruess]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get a form to work and one of the esential bits of code that needs to exist is:

   

I put that in FCKEditorX in source mode, change it back to WYSWYG mode and voila, without fail it automatically changes my code to:

    , adding a / at the end and making the code useless.

Is there a way to fix this or prevent this from happening?

Thanks!

CMSms is a xhtml CMS so this source change is a must have !

You can disable it in admin panel (menu extensions > FCKeditorX, tab Settings, "Enable xhtml formatting").

But in future the source written by FCKEd wount be xhtml valid per default ...

so is it better to leave as is and just shut off my editor when i need to deal with that form? Will the site be more compliant with current standards? I guess what I'm asking is why is it important that the site is xhmtl?

Thanks!

This

Code: Select all

    <input type="hidden" name="mailmyform_username" value="username">

is not xhtml valid.

This

Code: Select all

    <input type="hidden" name="mailmyform_username" value="username" />

is xhtml valid  .

Yes, if this could be a solution for you ...

Will the site be more compliant with current standards?

Think so ...

why is it important that the site is xhmtl?

Xhtml is one of THE current world wide standards for websites. Sometimes there could be problems with layout if you mix html and xhtml. Also some browsers think different about it. And debugging would be a lot easier.
