Hi, we have some very simple HTML that we're attempting to edit with CKE that seem to be getting corrupted.
<html>
<head>
<title>Blank</title>
<style>
.bw {color:white;background:navy;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span class='bw'>White text on blue</span>
<p><span style='color:yellow;'>Yellow text in a paragraph</span></p>
</body>
</html>
If I add that to a text area, convert to ckeditor (I've tried with the latest 4.4.4 CDN version), then view source, I get the following:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
<title>Blank</title>
<style type="text/css">.bw {color:white;background:navy;}
</style>
<p>White text on blue</p>
<p>Yellow text in a paragraph</p>As you can see its essentially emtpied the head and body tags and placed everything else after them. The page that loads it all is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>blank</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>
<script src="http://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.4.4/standard/ckeditor.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="editForm" action="test.htm" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8">
<textarea cols="80" id="Editor" name="Editor" rows="10">
<html>
<head>
<title>Blank</title>
<style>
.bw {color:white;background:navy;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span class='bw'>White text on blue</span>
<p><span style='color:yellow;'>Yellow text in a paragraph</span></p>
</body>
</html>
</textarea>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'Editor',
{
fullPage : true,
});
editor.on();
//]]></script>
</body>
</html>Thanks in advance

As you can see in the samples
As you can see in the samples, tags inside a textarea are converted to entities. If you are using PHP, try
<?PHP
$mysource = '<html><head>...</body></html>';
?>
<textarea>
<?PHP echo htmlspecialchars($mysource); ?>
</textarea>
I tried encoding the contents
I tried encoding the contents of the textarea but it made no difference, the results are still the same, re-ordered content.
OK it seems that it was the
OK it seems that it was the HTML file I was trying to edit, it had a strange character at the start of the file, in hex it was "20EFBBBF" which just looked like a space in an editor and the page displayed ok in all browsers (Chrome, FF, and IE).
BTW This is a real problem we have, I just cut down the original HTML file to the example above, the original file was quite big.

A bit more investigation and it seems that it's a BOM character that had been added to the original UTF-8 encoded file, probably by something like notepad, if detect and I strip it out it works fine.
