Is CKeditor able to display a form element ?

Hi,
I just can't get a correct display of a form element in
CKeditor.
The submit and reset buttons are displayed at the bottom of my
page and out of the editor. :shock:
I use blocks display plugin and I noticed that the dashed line
all around the form is red. So I guess CKeditor encountered pb
whith the form element, nevertheless I made it the simpliest it
can be (no fieldset or javascript).

So is CKeditor able to display properly a form element ?

Thanks.

Re: Is CKeditor able to display a form element ?

I have the same problem... This is the HTML is have inside CKEDITOR 3.0.2

<h2>Contact</h2>
<form action="" method="post">
   <table width="100%">
   <tbody>
      <tr>
      <td width="40%">* Name:</td>
      <td><input maxlength="35" name="data[name]" type="text" value="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
      <td width="40%">* Email:</td>
      <td><input maxlength="75" name="data[email]" type="text" value="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
      <td width="40%">* Question:</td>
      <td><textarea cols="30" name="data[question]" rows="10"></textarea></td>
      </tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="contact_send" class="submit" value="Send" /></td>
</tr>
   </tbody>
   </table>
</form>

CKEDITOR leaves the following HTML (the submit button is displayed outside of CKEDITOR):

<h2>Contact</h2>
<form action="" method="post">
   <table width="100%">
   <tbody>
      <tr>
      <td width="40%">* Name:</td>
      <td><input maxlength="35" name="data[name]" type="text" value="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
      <td width="40%">* Email:</td>
      <td><input maxlength="75" name="data[email]" type="text" value="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
      <td width="40%">* Question:</td>
      <td><textarea cols="30" name="data[question]" rows="10"></textarea></td>
      </tr>
   </tbody>
   </table>
</form>

I tested this and this behavior is in IE8, Firefox 3.5, Chrome 4
Can anybody help?

run your page through http://validator.w3.org/ and you'll see that you must escape the contents of the textarea.

Ok the solutions is, in PHP, to use htmlspecialchars() function....
