Stripping Special Characters

Hello,

When I paste special characters in CMS they are stripped.

This is especially problematic in a table.

So a spacer line like this is removed <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>.

Hi Sean,

When you're on a wysiwyg editor, click on HTML. You can then add your table code directly to the page.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jason,

Unfortunately, that is what I did, and when I save, then any occurrence of "&nbsp" was deleted.

Hi Sean,

I see. Yes, unfortunately, tinyMCE does do that. Since it's just the matter of a space, you could work around it by either adjusting the width of the <td> tag or maybe inserting a blank image the size that you want.

Would that work for you?

Hope this helps.

Followup.

Holy Cow, I figured it out.

Pasting in Firefox does not work.

Pasting in IE works.

Crazy.
