Comment tags around inline styles disable styles

[severy@…]

If style definitions are enclosed within comment tags, they are ignored by the editor. You can see an example of this with the following HTML:

<style type="text/css" media="screen"><!--
p {
color: #333;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss,
SunSans-Regular }
td {
color: #333;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss,
SunSans-Regular }
a { color: #c33; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none }
a:hover {
color: black }
--></style>

In the web browser, the above style definitions work fine. When the content was loaded into the editor, however, the styles are ignored because they are encased in the comment tags.

I'd like to see this fixed as well. Any plans to fix it soon?

Yes, fckeditor definitely supports inline styles. I implemented a workaround to the above problem by stripping out the comment tags before passing the content to the editor, but it would be preferable if the editor handled the comment tags cleanly.

does fckeditor support <style> at all? I assume not

Hi!

The editor doesn't support inline styles, however you can apply your own stylesheet by using EditorAreaCSS configuration.

Sorry for my previous post. I misunderstood the problem. Definitely FCKeditor supports inline styles.

Reading styles inside a comment should be working so I can of course confirm this bug.

I really doubt that my patch is appropriate for this problem... but why not try anyway? ;-)

Feel free to "Review-" :-)

The proposed patch will fail in the following cases:

FCKeditor is no longer supported and and CKEditor has this issue reported here #8129
