Hello,

I am having a problem where an HTML which has a <script> section.

Here is the original HTML loaded into the control:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>GBI participant invitation email</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" href="http://www.sdlconnect2.com/sdparticipant/stylesheets/email.css" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" style="MARGIN-LEFT:18px;">
<tr>
<td class="copyright" align="left">© 2005-<script type="text/javascript">var d = new Date();document.write(d.getFullYear());</script> Senn Delaney Leadership Consulting Group, LLC.<br />United States 562.426.5400 &#9474 International +44 (0) 207 647 6060</td>
<td><img src="http://www.sdlconnect2.com/sdparticipant/images2/emails/sd_footer_logo.gif" width="175" height="42" alt="" style="margin-left:18px"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

and here is what I get out of the HTML editor control:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>GBI participant invitation email</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" href="http://www.sdlconnect2.com/sdparticipant/stylesheets/email.css" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

</head>
<body><table style="MARGIN-LEFT: 18px" cellSpacing="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="copyright" align="left">© 2005-<script type="text/javascript" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Any suggestions on how and can keep the editor control from removing the script section?

Thank you,

Fernando De Gasperis

Hi,

I do not believe the Editor will keep the script tag for you because it is not something that you can edit. A possible workaround for this is to replace the script tag with some static HTML tags and then replace then back with the original script block when done editing. For example, you can replace the script tag with something like this:

Code: HTML/ASPX

Copy

<div 
    class="css_class_for_script" 
    id="some_id_that_represent_the_js"></div>

The key points at here are:

1. You would usually need a special CSS class for such html elements so that it displays differently inside the editor;
2. You need to uniquely mark this element so that you can replace this element with your original script contents when done editing. Obviously you need to save your original script contents somewhere;

Hope this helps.

Thanks
