Removing <p></p> tags Can't Post
I have a client on a pc who is typing her articles directly into WYSIWYG article window. When she saves, it added <p> and </p> code which messes up the formatting.

When I try to recreate the problem on my mac, I don't have this issue. Anyone know what is adding this code?

Hi Jeff.

Thanks for posting!

I have been testing this out and am having some trouble recreating the problem. When I enter some test data and save, the only spacing I get in the code are some <br> tags where I had hit enter.

Where abouts are you seeing the <p> tags? Where they surrounding the content entered? Or where the embedded in the content?

What browsers are you using on mac and on pc?

If you could get back to me with some more details, that would be great!

I look forward to hearing from you Smile.

She is using IE. I don't have the version but will check. The <p> appears at the beginning and </p> at the end. Also they appear between paragraphs.

Ross,

She is running IE 6.0 for the pc.

I have no idea why it would be adding code to her content.

Thanks.

Hi there,

The IE engine that creates the HTML does something a little weird -- when you use a carriage return, it actually creates a <P> tag, instead of the <BR> that you would expect.

To create a <br> instead, have her hold down "shift" when hitting enter. Or, she can use Firefox, which adds <br>'s as one would expect. :)
