It should be. Every other function was tested pretty thouroughly (did I spell that right?). Of course, I did test some of it at 1AM last night

Guys:

I love how it looks and works but everytime I use it double spaces the text, which I hit the return instead of single space, in the body of the textarea. If I type a one long sentence it will
wrap the text to the next line but if I hit the return key it will double space each time.

I've noticed this too, any solution eiSecure?

[eiSecure]

Yeah, there's an explanation for it...

This was made to function exactly like MS Word. To make it a single line break, just hold Shift and press Enter, just like in MS Word!

It's not a bug..it's a feature...

eiSecure there are still some bugs I'm noticing with HTML disabled. If I use a single space (shift enter) then a double space right after, in the thread show it will show <br> tags....

I'll take a look. I didn't exactly know about the Shift-enter thing when I was writing the conversion code

EDIT: I am unable to reproduce this problem. Also, with the fix for the quoting error, that is an impossible problem, as all <br>'s are converted to "\n"'s.

The reason it is like this is because the WYSIWIG editor is like a pre-programmed part of IE. It's impossible (as far as I know ), to change their settings for what the return key does. I coded the conversion scripts so that it replaces the <P></P> tags with double-spaces (\n\n, essentially) so that it would look the same as it did on the editor when you posted. As Alex (eiSecure) knew, you can press Shift-enter to get a single space (<br>), and this is converted to a single-space (\n) when you post.

I didn't 'discover', I 'knew'. ^_^
