Auto <p> tags? How to get rid of them?

I'd very much like to know this too...or if we have any control over that tag, to use a div or put a style class on it. Something so we're aren't stuck with padding around our content by default.

If you want get rid of <p> in FCKeditor 2.4, you need to modify both fckeditorcode_gecko.js and fckeditorcode_ie.js.
Looking for

else
{
if (FCKConfig.IgnoreEmptyParagraphValue&&C.body.innerHTML=='<P>&nbsp;</P>') B='';
else B=FCKXHtml.GetXHTML(C.body,false,A);
};

Replace with
{
if (FCKConfig.IgnoreEmptyParagraphValue&&C.body.innerHTML=='&nbsp;') B='';
else B=FCKXHtml.GetXHTML(C.body,false,A);
};

Good luck.

It did work for me when I changed it.
By the way, for the basics configuration question
Did you change

FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'p' ; // p | div | br
FCKConfig.ShiftEnterMode = 'br' ; // p | div | br

to


FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'br' ; // p | div | br
FCKConfig.ShiftEnterMode = 'br' ; // p | div | br
?

You have to change that to make it insert <br /> instead of annoying <p> tag

I'm having a similar problem, but I want EnterMode and ShiftEnterMode to be:

FCKConfig.EnterMode = 'p' ; // p | div | br
FCKConfig.ShiftEnterMode = 'br' ; // p | div | br

The problem I'm having is that the editor changes (or fixes??) the markup upon submission. Before submitting, my source is this:

<img src="image/test.gif" alt="" />
#ThisIsAFunction(param1="this", param2="that")#

After submitting, FCKEditor changes it to:

<p><img src="image/test.gif" alt="" />&nbsp;</p>
<p>#ThisIsAnEmbeddedFunctionInsideMyContent(param1="this", param2="that")#</p>

This happens without typing anything. Is there a way to turn this "fix html" or auto-paragraph feature off?
