How is CR (CarriageReturn) suppose to work?

Thanks for the info. That cleared things up for me.

One question though.

Is it not possible to implement some sort of event listener ... and then when the CR key are pushed down then insert either "<br />" or "<p>&nbsp;</p>" depending on the setting in the ...config.js file.

In IE:
document.onkeydown=docKeyDown;
And then use: e.keyCode

In FF (gecko):
document.addEventListener ('keypress',docKeyDown,true);
And then use either:
e.which or e.keyCode
I belive both gives same keyCode for CR in gecko.

And then eventually use for IE:
e.cancelBubble = true;
e.returnValue = false;

And for Gecko:
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();

to prevent whatever is default inserted on CR and then force either "<br />" or "<p>&nbsp;</p>"

I guess it may not be that simple though... because if it was then it would probably be there allready.

What exactly is the problem that this is not doable?

I looked into the core code today regarding the code that was amended when ENTER or BACKSPACE in gecko, amended in 2.1.1:

Ref. the release on ver 2.1.1:

In the /editor/_source/internals/fck_1_gecko.js file (extract of some of the code, see end of post) I found a wrong reference to a variable in FCKeditor:

One place it says:

FCKConfig.UserBROnCarriageReturn

I belive it should be:

FCKConfig.UseBROnCarriageReturn

Could this be related to the bugs that where reported when the code was implemented in the 2.1 version?... and that laiter was commented out.

Regards
