Question

When i am passing HTML to a CKEditor instance, a P tag is being inserted within the HTML producing unexpected results.

For example, with the following code:

CKEDITOR.instances["myEditor"].setData("<div>1</div><div>2</div>");

the editor does not display them as block elements (it outputs as “12” inline). Calling getData() and i see the HTML is reformatted incorrectly as:

"<div>
<p>
    1</div><div>2</div></p>
" 

I’ve played with the enterMode configuration based on some research but haven’t found a magic combination. Any suggestions? (I am using 3.6.5)

Answer 1

I figured it out – we we’re using regex to strip out some tags when pasting and this was also impacting initial values.
