Re: similar problem 

Hi John,

Appreciate the workaround.  In seeking confirmation, I was really looking to see if I needed to log it as an issue in Gemini.  I haven't been able to search issues there in at least 6 months, so I thought I'd look for confirmation here.  Looks like I found it, and I'll assume that it's known and logged.  I suppose it's likely an underlying problem with FCK and not the provider anyway.

In the meantime, I guess I'll just have to avoid the use of certain evil words such as...

As far as I'm aware it is aknown issue, it certainly come up on the wiki project too.

There are many places in web sites/portals, where the use of a rich text editor is right and proper, but I don't think that either a wiki or a forum is one of them.  Wikis and forums invite the general (not fuly trusted) user to contribute to the site and in these instances it is necessary to allow contributors to make their contributions look good.  However, we as admins/hosts should be able to control the commands/tags that they are allowed to use. 

The use of wikicode/BBCode or their equivalents is widespread and should be able to be adopted within DNN modules if hosts/admins require it, particularly Core offerings which invite user involvement.  In this way, correct tag structure can be maintained,proper opening/closing of tags could be accomplished thus avoiding embarrassing page layout corruptions, and most importantly site security is more easily maintained as we have control over the commands/tags that the user has access to.

Re: similar problem 

While I agree with your sentiments in some ways, I believe there is a specific usage advantage of a richtext editor over wikicode/BBcode in quite anumber of setting particularly where wikis and forums are concerned.
For example I work for auniversity in which the userbase is highly varied and the user base for a number of collaborative project which rely upon wikis and forums etc... are equally varied. In particular the users techincal ability. As a developer I think that it is wholy wrong to say to my users that they have to learn an entirely new way of working just to use my site particularly when we sell up our system on the benifts odf dotnetnuke being a user firendly system (which I it is).

I persoanlly that an administrators job difficulty shoudl come secondary to facilitating wide use, by the target audience.

Re: similar problem 

I remember raising this well over a year ago. I don't think it is the Editor - I think it is one of the internal security methods in DNN that strips out potentially harmful Jscript. Try search for "lert" or something perhaps - I am not sure if it was ever fixed.


Thanks,
