CKEditor 3 does not allow direct entry of HTML
Today I'm trying to compose a HTML email in fastmail. Many times a web-based Rich Text editor does not format things in the way I expect, so I just write my emails in html to save myself some aggravation. In the past to send this kind of email, I would click on the "source" button and paste the 'raw' HTML into the text box. Today the source box does not work.
I'm on Win7 and Mozilla Firefox3.6.15. Browser Header Stuff: Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15 Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Screen Shots: CKEditor 3x edit box text.jpg CKEditor 3x edit box source.jpg I'd like to send html emails that I have composed in html itself. Any ideas? |

no source
I have the same problem with Mac OS 10.6.6, Firefox 3.6.15.
Tried Opera  - the html renders directly by pasting into the text-area.But the Source-Button does nothing, shows a blank field. |

Same behavior with IE 8.0.7600 as with Firefox. The "Source" button does not show an editable window.

give us the source
Let's add Safari (5.0.4) to the list, and also Chrome (10.0.648.134).
Is it just us two? I'd love to have the 'source' back  |

I just tried this in both the 'web3' and 'beta' versions of the interface and I can confirm what you're (not) seeing. (Windows 7; FF 3.6.15)

I tried this on Firefox, Opera, Chrome,Safari, and IE8 (all on Win7, and without any Compose screen tweaks) and in all of them the "Source" button shows an empty box that one cannot type in (if one moves the focus to another field, clicking back in the place where the Source text editing is supposed to be doesn't take the focus away from where it was).
Nice to know it's not my tweaks that are doing it. CKeditor worked perfectly well on the beta server for quite a long time, and I certainly used source html editing in the compose screen with it quite a lot (and in this respect it's much better than FCKeditor 2. The source is more human readable.) So I'm sure it can be easily fixed. Did anyone reported it through the support form? |

OK, Rob just rolled out a fix for this.
You might have to reload/refresh your "Compose" screen. -Yassar. |

It works again!
Thank you! By the way, I found docs for it here: http://docs.cksource.com/CKEditor_3.x/Users_Guide With the last editor I could never figure out how to do inline images. I'm glad I can read the docs for this one! If you need any Win7 or Snow Leopard screen shots for the help pages, let me know. -Matt Last edited by MattJhsn : 17 Mar 2011 at 10:39 PM. Reason: added |
