  • [SF Feature-1123816] It is now possible to configure the editor to show "fake" table borders when the border size is set to zero. (It is working only on IE for now).

  • Context menu options (right-click) has been added for: anchors, select field, textarea, checkbox, radio button, text field, hidden field, textarea, button, image button, form, bulleted list and numbered list .
  • The "Universal Keyboard" has been converted from version 1.6 to this one and it's now available.
  • It is now possible to configure the items to be shown in the context menu . Just use the FCKConfig.ContextMenu option at fckconfig.js.
  • A new configuration (FillEmptyBlocks) is available to force the editor to automatically insert a   on empty block elements (p, div, pre, h1, etc...) to avoid differences from the editing and the final result. (Actually, the editor automatically "grows" empty elements to make the user able to enter text on it). Attention: the extra   will be added when switching from WYSIWYG to Source View, so the user may see an additional space on empty blocks. (XHTML support must be enabled).
  • It is now possible to configure the toolbar to "break " between two toolbar strips. Just insert a "/" between then. Take a look at fckconfig.js for a sample.
  • New Language files are available:
