How to remove the opening <p> tag

Yes, Please share how to get rid of the opening and closing <p> paragraph tags that are inserted by default.

Find FCKConfig.EnterMode in fckconfig.js

and change settings eg

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

Tried that, even if I change FCKConfig.EnterMode to what you see below:

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

When I check in my database where the info is stored, the data is still wrapped in <p> and </p> as shown below:
<p>1 more test for today</p>

Any way to make those tags go away???

Still desperate for an answer. Any time I use FCKEditor, it auomatically adds the <p> and </p> tags around text. How do I turn this off?!?!?
Thanks,

I'm absolutely sure there's a better way, but I was desperate and in a hurry. I'm brand new to asp, and I'm sure my code is a mess, but it's working for now. The below works where 'data' is the variable passed by FCKEditor to my processing page. I inserted this code before it posted 'data' to the database.

lside = left(data,13)
lside = Replace(lside,"<p>&nbsp;</p>","")
rside = right(data,13)
rside = Replace(rside,"<p>&nbsp;</p>","")
middle = mid(data,14,last)
data=lside&middle&rside

It's ugly, but I hope it helps.

there has got to be a cleaner way. I'm running FCKEditor inside Drupal, and don't want to edit the core distribution of Drupal. Sad that I might have to use TinyMCE.

one thing to note is that if you click the Source button, and wrap the entire code with <div> and </div>, it won't add the <p> or </p>.
Useful if you use FCKeditor with Drupal, but a slight pain none the less.

It would be nice if you could have it use <div> instead of <p> though.

Did you bother to read the previous posts?

Code:

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

Instead of disabling cache in your browsers, in IE you can hit CTRL+F5 to reload ignoring cache. This works with script changes but dialog changes require you to delete temporary internet files.

Excellent! This has been a peeve of mine forever. I modified the fckconfig.js file according to the post above. Just rebotting Firefox didn't help so I deleted the cache and it works great! It's like Christmas all over again. (I know, I have to get out more.)

Thanks, Gary

It looks like this fix the problem, but I didn't get a paragraph when i type Shift + Enter, even if i set the value
FCKConfig.ShiftEnterMode = 'p' ;.

Regarding this linkhttp://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/1853 the problem was fixed, so the solution is to upgrade to the latest version.

Hello,

Let me share with you my own fix which works perfectly for me for CKEditor ver. 3.6.2.

Below file "/ckeditor/config.js" is correct:

CKEDITOR.editorConfig = function( config )
{
   config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;
   config.shiftEnterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_P;
};

You have replied to an old topic about FCKeditor.

The syntax stated in previous posts is the correct one, but of course it will not work if you use CKEditor, in that case you must use the options that you've stated.

Hello alfonsoml,

There are other posts explaining this syntax for CKEditor if you don't like <p>. Personally I don't have any problem with it, so for me it works correctly and using enter mode = <br> would be bad.

And the syntax in previous posts is this one for example:

FCKConfig.ShiftEnterMode = 'p'

and clearly that won't work with CKEditor.

Again, the previous posts didn't explain anything wrong, it's just that you are trying to apply it to a wrong version. It's like seeing some code in Java and then stating that it's wrong because the correct syntax for C++ is this other one.
