Question

In the CMS I’m working on, I need to insert some custom HTML (which works):

var element = CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml("<div class='sidebar'>Edit Sidebar Text</div>");

The problem is that when editing what’s inside the sidebar element, pressing ENTER duplicates the sidebar DIV instead of adding a P tag within the sidebar. How do I tell the editor to use a paragraph instead?

I expect this:

<div class="sidebar">
    Enter sidebar text
<p></p>
</div>

and get this:

<div class="sidebar">
    Enter sidebar text</div>
<div class="sidebar">
    &nbsp;</div>

I have not made any changes to “entermode” settings.

You have almost guessed the name of the preference:
http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.config.html#.forceEnterMode (yes I think that this setting should default to true, but at least we have the option to set it)
