I am using the IPE and an unobtrusive approach[1] to allow admins to edit individual elements of a page. Back end is PHP/MySQL, although I realize that''s not critical. Everything works perfectly so far, except for this: If I invoke the editor and add some text that includes raw HTML, the HTML is saved in the database on the first pass. If I subsequently open that element again for editing, the HTML tag is missing. I am testing with a pair of <code></code> tags around a single word. My main question is this: Where would I go looking for tags to be stripped in this scenario? Here''s what I''ve done: I have confirmed that my loadTextURL handler is returning the raw database text through htmlentities(), to convert all illegal characters, as you would for any form element''s default value. I have triple-checked that the database entry contains the actual code after the first load/save through IPE. I have tried commenting out the call to stripTags() in line 655 of controls.js. After that last part, I even opened another browser and forced the reload, etc, just to be sure I wasn''t dealing with cached JS. Are there any other hidden code-munchers that I''m not catching? Thanks in advance, Walter 1. var rightClick = function(e){ var field = this.id; var tall = Math.ceil(Element.getHeight(this)/24); tall = (tall > 30)? 30 : tall; Event.stop(e); var editListing = new Ajax.InPlaceEditor(field, "ajax_update.php", { rows:tall,cols:50, onComplete: function(transport, element) { new Effect.Highlight(element, { startcolor: this.options.highlightcolor }); editListing.dispose(); }, loadTextURL: "get_raw.php?id=<?= $id ?>&class=<?= $class ?>&field=" + field, ajaxOptions: { method: "post" }, callback: function(form, value) { return "id=<?= $id ?>&class=<?= $class ?>&field=" + field + "&myparam=" + encodeURIComponent(value) } }); if(editListing) editListing.enterEditMode(''click''); }; var editThis = function(){ //alert(''boo''); Event.observe(''title'',''contextmenu'',rightClick); Event.observe(''intro'',''contextmenu'',rightClick); Event.observe(''body_text'',''contextmenu'',rightClick); }; Event.observe(window,''load'',editThis); --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
