FCKeditor is converting HEX Colours to RGB()

I believe Firefox automatically converts all colors to RGB internally; the FCKeditor uses the browser's own parsing mechanisms to render the final HTML, which means it gets Firefox's auto-converted colors back.

Your best bet is to take the edited HTML and do a search-and-replace for all 'rgb\(\d+,\d+,\d+\)' instances. With JavaScript (or PHP, or Perl), you can use regular expression replacements and functions to do the job in about 15 lines, well-spaced.

Did you find an easy fix for this? Is it really the browser that converts to rgb?

I see this in fckconfig.js, I wonder if it can be adjusted to insert HEX instead of RGB?:

FCKConfig.CoreStyles =
{

...

'Color' :
{
Element : 'font',
Styles : { 'color' : '#("Color","color")' },
Overrides : [ { Element : 'font', Attributes : { 'color' : '#("Color","color")' } } ]
},

...

}

You might want to note that it is likely already using HEX colors in the editor, given your quoted info. The problem is, what you type in the editor is not always exactly what you get back due to the reason I noted above...

Looks like I'm going to have to write something to convert it. The problem is that the HTML will be read by Flash, e.g. TextField.htmlText = "...". Flash can't read the rgb syntax. So, I'll have to write something in Flash to convert this.

Hi, I'm also facing same problem which wgrand mentioned. Is any one know how to convert RGB color code to Hex value in FCKeditor.

That's great. I want to use FCKEditor for Flash, which has a much different method of interpreting HTML. RGB amongst other attributes are not compatible with Flash.
