FCK 2.6 - URLS not working?

Hi,

I'm a newbie to FCK.

I've taken over a site that's getting ready for go-live that has FCK2.6 installed.

The one problem I'm having is with URLS within emails.

Within the Editor I'm creating some text such as "Please Click Here". I highlight the text and click on the URL button to enter the destination URL.

When I click the Source button, I see the following (assuming I've entered Google as the destination URL):
<p><a href="http://www.google.com">Please Click Here</a></p>

All seems good so far.

I save the document and the website sends it to me as an email.

Within the body of the email I have the "Please Click Here" text, underlined and in blue as it should be.

I click the link, nothing happens. When I view the source, the email contains this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html><body><p><a href="#">Please Click Here</a></p></body></html>

So the Google URL has been replaced with #.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
sorry I cannot really help you, but I will just point out that you should expect different kind of issues with FCKeditor (and more of them too) simply because you are trying to use a retired product that is already 2 years old. FCKeditor is no longer supported, its code was frozen two years ago, so you cannot really expect it to work flawlessly in an environment that changes so fast because it will no longer do so.

If you do not have any experience with FCKeditor it does not make much sense to try to learn it and spend effort trying to make it work when you could just as well learn to use a far superior and modern product that is its successor -- CKEditor. See my post here for some general remarks and tips: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24675
