FCKEditor ISSUES

[r0adra93]

I am having issues with the FCKEditor portion of the newsletter.

The HTML looks good however you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to view the content. This is not professional quality at all.

What can I do to solve this problem.

This happems with both Email and Newsletter.

Cannot reproduce this. What browser are you using?

What it does is that after I create the file it looks good in the editor however when I preview to send for every row I have in the table there is an additional line above the table.

This is a real interesting issue.

At the bottom of this message is the HTML i used.

I just copied your html from your post and pasted it in as source code right into the fckeditor and I cannot reproduce the issue. See the screenshot.

The page displays just fine for me... again what browser?

[michael_s]

Oh I am dense... the preview page... sorry.

Now I see what you are talking about. Probably just a missing tag somewhere in that file in osCMax. That is a minor issue to be sure. The preview looks fine, it is just a little out of place on the page.

However, the issue is this follows through with the email sent out as well.
What's interesting is that this doesn't happen until tables are used.

As I said

1 row in a table = 1 LINE added above the table.

This is interesting.

i have experinced the 1 line added above the table. and white space problems before.

me thinks fckeditor is not stripping / handling the hard returns and white space between the html tags. correctly.

hard return = carriage return, hard line return, ascii code charactor for enter key
white space = spaces

my work around has been to take every seperate line of code. and make one single long line of code.

example:

((removed "<" ">" from below so editor doesn't hog swap me))

....table
.........tr
............td
............/td
........./tr
..../table

will cause line spacing problems.

example:

((removed "<" ">" from below so editor doesn't hog swap me))
removing all white space and hard returns like below.

tabletrtd/td/tr/table

should fix problem with line spacing when you useing html tags.

EDIT:

additional info.

if work around for single long line of code works, then most likely once you paste it into the editor and submit it, you will no longer be able to re-edit the code without re-editing the code to remake it a single line of code again.

the same thing goes for previewing it. if you try to preview it, that single line of code just went through the editor and the editor most likely added its own spaces and hard returns to that single line of code.
