problems witch switching wysiwig and source-v

bug #1090388

I have the same problem. It only happens on IE. Firefox/Mozilla is ok. A bug report has already been submited a long time ago and I added my 2 cents to that, but no one is assigned to it. I think this is a show stopper bug. But who am I?

What version are you using? If it's 1.6, I have a stable fix installed in mine:

js/fck_editor.js, line 190 - the setFieldValue function was updated (via response to similar question on another thread in this forum)... I replaced:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
function setFieldValue()
{
if (trSource.style.display != "none")
switchEditMode() ;

if (config.EnableXHTML)
oLinkedField.value = getXhtml( objContent.DOM.body ) ;
else
oLinkedField.value = objContent.DOM.body.innerHTML ;
}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

with this:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
function setFieldValue()
{
if (trSource.style.display != "none")
switchEditMode() ;

if (config.EnableXHTML)
oLinkedField.value = getXhtml( objContent.DOM.body ) ;
else
{
/*This modification fixed the following problem:
If the user is in Source Mode and they submit
the page their changes will not be submitted */
if (txtSource.value != "")
oLinkedField.value = txtSource.value ;
else
var blnEditMode;

try
{
if (objContent.DOM)
blnEditMode = false;
}
catch(e)
{
blnEditMode = true;
}

if (blnEditMode)
oLinkedField.value = txtSource.value ;
else
oLinkedField.value = objContent.DOM.body.innerHTML ;

}
}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Everything seems to be working great when I toggle between wysiwyg and code views, and I haven't lost any formatting. Of course, it goes without saying (or does it?): BACKUP your original fck_editor.js file before making any changes, to be on the safe side. Also, I don't know how / if this works for other versions.

P.S., Thank you to whoever first pieced together the replacement code; I'm sorry I couldn't give proper credit.

There is actually a bug in the actual version. If you start the editor with an empty value, the editing is disabled when switching views.

For now, you can start the editor with a " " value.

It will be corrected for the next version (to be published on February).
