Jivespace: Message List - RTE strips away values

Hey Dave,

I believe this is actually the intended behavior and why we created the Raw HTML macro. The HTML tab is best used for adding specific HTML for styles, formatting, etc but not for complex HTML such as this. When you use the filter is makes sure not to strip out specific things that embed code might need to display. It also makes it easier because our RTE currently has no way of displaying this content in-line. When you have it within a Raw HTML macro you can view and edit the HTML within the RTE. Some of this functionality should hopefully be improved in our 4.0 release as well, there are a few things that we have been considering. Hope that helps. Thanks.

Todd,

It doesn't make sense to me that I can use one function to successfully insert HTML and then when I use another function to view the HTML I just inserted, the HTML is not displayed as it was entered and persisted.

Can this be corrected? This is causing confusion to our end users.

Hi Joey,

You'll want to be sure that you add mobilerider.com to the list of allowed domains here:

Admin Console -> Spaces -> Settings -> Filters and Macros -> HTML Filter -> Edit -> Allowed Domains

Thanks.

Todd,

When I use the "Insert Raw HTML" option to embed a flash object, it does not seem to work in our UAT (3.0.x) or PROD(2.5.7) instance. This is the following code I placed inside the RAW HTML field.

I see a white box but nothing displays.

Hey Dave,

Yeah, elements within the Raw HTML macro are treated differently and not escaped like the regular HTML that is entered in other locations. This is used for a few different reasons but is really good because it allows you to move around your HTML code and modify it from the Rich Text view without having to go in and search through the other HTML. This is the intended functionality of the HTML Macro and HTML view as I understand it. Thanks!

This does work correctly if you use the "Insert Raw HTML" macro!

It fails miserably if you use the HTML view!

I suppose this is a very advanced function and that the average user will not even attempt this. It would be nice though if the HTML view worked a bit better.

If you paste the code into the HTML view and return to "Show Full Editor" you actually see the video, but once you return to HTML view, the code gets stripped out and upon return to the Full Editor, the video link is broken.

An interesting behavior is that if you successfully insert the video by using the "Insert Raw HTML" macro... you can go back in through the HTML view and make minor changes to the code and it still works! So it seems like there may be some type of bug in the HTML View mode where it can't handle the code during the initial create but can handle it in update.

Hey Kathy,

You'll need to use the "Insert Raw HTML" macro in order for the param values to stay. I don't believe this will work if you paste it into the HTML view. Thanks.

The Param type is gone. Pasted the code from Sam's original post into our 3.0.2 version in UAT and went to Full Text and back to HTML. See the below for result.

Should this be resolved in 3.0.2?

I am testing in 3.0.2 and classid is being stripped when using Insert Raw HTML. Did this classid restriction creep back into the code?

Yep! Any bug that has been fixed for 2.5 is fixed for 3.0 as well (if it still applies). Thanks.
