Links not clickable

Hi guys,

I'm currently facing a problem with the hyperlink functionnality of the editor.
My client wants to add hyperlinks in the text and be able to click it while edition.
And also beeing able to click on it when they're displayed later in an other editor instance.

The problem is the following, the links are not clickable, but if you click the link while pressing the CTRL key, the link is "working".
But in edit mode, when you use that trick, it opens a new window/tab but nothing is diplayed into it, the url of the page is

javascript:void(0)/*323*/

Does anyone know if there is a way to avoid the need of pressing CTRL when clicking the link and also why the links are not working in edit mode?

Thanks for your help, this is quite urgent as the customer needs this functionality to work ASAP...

Re: Links not clickable

I have a similar issue with links. Seems to be some sort of bug that I can't quite track down. The result is sometimes when a link is pasted directly into the editor and/or pasted in using the link plugin the editor loses the actual value and instead outputs something like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)/*307*/">

When looking at _source/plugins/link/dialog/link.js I do see a section of the code that contains this type of functionality:

onOk : function()
      {
         var attributes = { href : 'javascript:void(0)/*' + CKEDITOR.tools.getNextNumber() + '*/' },

I haven't got the logic all figured out yet, but I wanted to at least mention I'm having a similar issue. If I find out more details I'll try and get back to post them.

Re: Links not clickable

Using firefox's firebug I'm able to see that when in WYSIWYG mode, after inserting a link using the link dialog, its generating the following

<a href="javascript:void(0)/*308*/" _cke_saved_href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a>

as a place holder of sorts in the href. If you switch to source mode and then back to WYSIWYG the href is automagically populated with the correct url (javascript is gone) that was stored in _cke_saved_href and the _cke_saved_href value is also still attached and also still references the url.

It makes me wonder why the javascript:void(0)/*some number*/ is being add the first time at all.
