Re: CKEditor won't allow <div> inside <a>

For someone without a CDL license or support contract, is there any way to even make the developers aware of something like the issue that I've reported here? If they simply choose not to act, that's fine, but this is such an easily reproducible case (using CKEditor's own online demo) that I hate to see it simply disappear.

You can actually do this if you don't mind tweaking the DTD

This has worked for my project's purposes:

CKEDITOR.dtd.a.div = 1;

Obviously, any time you mess with the default DTD you're risking all sorts of subtle bugs, but this has worked well enough for us.

We ended up doing the same

We ended up doing the same thing. We were iffy on making the change wondering what would blow up. :)
