I am using ajax to gather the CKEditor content and submit it to the server. Once I look at it after it is submitted, all the html tags < and > have been converted to their html entities. This is not what I want, as I obviously need to preserve the HTML.
Is there something I did wrong?
In the end I realized that my server was not saving the data at UTF-8 even though ajax was sending it this way. So, I fixed that and the data saves correctly.
