submitted content is shown as HTML code

When I click on the submit button of the JSP or the "Save" icon in the toolbar, the page is refreshed and content is converted/encoded.

For example,
abc
def

becomes: abc <br>def. If I look at the "Source", it changes to "abc<br /> def".

Is this due to configuration error or something else?

(Version: FCKeditor 2.3.2 + Java integration.)

Thanks,
Dan

I have this exact same problem! I cannot figure out why it's doing it. I'm using it with PHP.

This I would say is a feature.

However, have a look at these two options in FCKconfig.js

FCKConfig.FormatSource = true ;
FCKConfig.FormatOutput = true ;

See if they make any difference?

Hope this helps,

RE: submitted content is shown as HTML code

It's not that it's a feature, in my opinion. Here's what I'm talking about. I use the fckeditor to submit to a database. Then I want to edit the content in that database so it is pulled out again and applied to the "Value" variable within the PHP code. What shows up on the screen then is the HTML displayed instead of interpreted by the editor.

I tried putting "FormatSource" to false I didn't try formatOutput. I will try that.

I set FormatOutput to false and it didn't fix it. I can't make this work. Nobody else has this problem? Do i need to assign the value using JavaScript instead of PHP?

Found the answer! I was passing the data through htmlspecialchars() before output! Sorry about that.
