DIV layers?

when I type the following in the editor:

lowercase

line 1
line 2
line 3
done

a new line

all done

Where line 1 - line 3 are numbered list and "a new line" is another numbered list, the editor puts everything from "a new line" to the line before "all done" in a DIV layer and now matter what I do on the blank line after "a new line", the number list is not carried on, it is just indented. Any thoughts on what is causing this (I am using IE7 on XP)? Is it that DIV layer? How do I remove it?

Re: DIV layers?

I have been looking in the source to see what may be causing the DIV layer to popup when adding a numbered list, and I found this in the fcklisthandler source. Look at last line of this source fragment, is that a typo? In this file it uses "oDogFrag" but that is not used anywhere else in the source, "DocFrag" is (as is mentioned in the comment above the line).

var FCKListHandler =
{
OutdentListItem : function( listItem )
{
var eParent = listItem.parentNode ;

// It may happen that a LI is not in a UL or OL (Orphan).
if ( eParent.tagName.toUpperCase().Equals( 'UL','OL' ) )
{
var oDocument = FCKTools.GetElementDocument( listItem ) ;
var oDogFrag = new FCKDocumentFragment( oDocument ) ;

// All children and successive siblings will be moved to a a DocFrag.
var eNextSiblings = oDogFrag.RootNode ;

Re: DIV layers?

Take a better look, it's defined in the line just above that comment and it's used 4 times below that.
It might be a typo in the original naming of the variable, but at least it's consistent.

Re: DIV layers?

You are right, but there still seems to be an issue with this phantom DIV layer and ordered lists. It is easy to duplicate. Type in 10 or so lines of text then do a ordered list at the bottom (ie 1. 2. 3. etc). Now go back to the top and change a line of text to an ordered list, and press return at the end of the line. This new line is just an indented line, it has no Number (letter, roman numeral etc). No amount of clicking in indent, outdent, bulleted or number lists buttons will correct it. The only correction I have found is to make a few blank lines in the text, then start the order list with a blank line before and after, and yet I still get the <div></div> surrounding this list.

Now this doesn't occur (that i have seen yet) if you just make your ordered lists as you type in the text, only if you go back to previous text and modify a line.

From what I have been able to determine, if the DIV layer would just go away it would be fine (the source for the html is correct). Since I want to use FCKeditor for just rich text entry, not complete html design, is there a way of telling the program not to ever make a DIV layer? I am only using the Bold, Italic, Underline, Sub/Superscript, Left, Center, Right and Justify and the indent, outdent, bullet and numbered lists options. No tables, links, images, fonts etc.
