I know that Tinymce gets alot of flack here, but that is only because its full potential has not been tapped as far as customizing the settings which are available. If you download the full package and take the time to read the documentation I think you would find it can do far more than most other editors, including not using br tags...

Here is a sample call I did for a blog script that shows many of the configurable settings (but not nearly all) which are available:

$html1 = "<!-- tinyMCE -->
              <script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"../../rc3/manager/media/tinymce/tiny_mce.js\"></script>
              <script language=\"javascript\" type=\"text/javascript\">
              tinyMCE.init({

                mode : \"$editormode\",";
   if($tiny_sets[editormode]=="exact"){
       $html2 ="elements : \"$exactmodeelements\",";
            } else{
       $html2 ="";
            }

     $html3 ="theme : \"$editortheme\",
              language : \"$tinylanguage\",
              plugins : \"$editorplugins\",
              theme_advanced_buttons1_add_before : \"$themeadvbut1addb4\",
              theme_advanced_buttons1_add : \"$themeadvbut1add\",
              theme_advanced_buttons2_add : \"$themeadvbut2add\",
              theme_advanced_buttons2_add_before: \"$themeadvbut2addb4\",
              theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before : \"$themeadvbut3addb4\",
              theme_advanced_buttons3_add : \"$themeadvbut3add\",
              theme_advanced_toolbar_location : \"$themeadvtoolbarlocalation\",
              theme_advanced_toolbar_align : \"$themeadvtoolbaralign\",
              theme_advanced_path_location : \"$themeadvpathlocation\",
              debug: \"$debug\",
              visual: \"$visual\",
              visual_table_style: \"$visualtablestyle\",
              force_br_newlines: \"$forcebr\",
              force_p_newlines: \"$forcep\",
              relative_urls: \"$relativeurls\",
              directionality: \"$directionality\",
              auto_cleanup_word: \"$autocleanword\",
              convert_newlines_to_brs: \"$convertnltobr\",
              remove_script_host: \"$scripthost\",
              plugin_insertdate_dateFormat: \"%Y-%m-%d\",
              plugin_insertdate_timeFormat: \"%H:%M:%S\",
              extended_valid_elements : \"a[name|href|target|title|onclick],img[class|src|border=0|alt|title|hspace|vspace|width|height|align|onmouseover|on
mouseout|name],hr[class|width|size|noshade],font[face|size|color|style],span[class|align|style]\",
              external_link_list_url : \"scripts/tiny_mce/lists/example_link_list.js\",
              external_image_list_url : \"scripts/tiny_mce/lists/example_image_list.js\",
              flash_external_list_url : \"scripts/tiny_mce/lists/example_flash_list.js\"
              });";

      $html5 ="</script>
              <!-- /tinyMCE -->";

I have to confess that I was thinking Tiny when I was thinking <br /> tags, as I recall it doing it to me before. However, if that's down to a lack of understanding on my part, I'll give it another try and see if I can tap its full potential this time.

If not, expect messages!

Unless I was hallucinating I think I saw a setting buried deep in the TinyMCE code, although not documented as I recall, that can be changed so that the editor doesn't use those pesky <br /> tags... I'll see if I can track it down over the weekend...

Nope, no hallucination... looking at the code I posted the two settings here are the ones which regulate that.

force_br_newlines: \"$forcebr\", 
force_p_newlines: \"$forcep\",

just set the force_br_newlines to no, and the force_p_newlines to yes and that will do the trick...

Yep, I knew I saw them somewhere... But the settings are boolean and as such should be either true or false... These settings can be hard-coded into both manager/media/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_src.js and manager/media/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js, or they can be assigned using configuration variables as Breezer suggested... Thanks Breezer...

hmmm... never seen that, but I only use Maxthon. I'll have a look with FireFox and see if it happens on my site too.

edit: I tried it on my blog script which uses the tinymce from the eto manager and the windows popup fine for me using FireFox 1.5

Thanks, breezer. Not a <br /> tag in sight!

Now, one thing I have noticed is that if I click anything that requires a popup, the popup is always too small and it can't be resized. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Firefox, by the way...

Are you using Firefox 1.5, by chance...??? I have had similar problems with popups, but only with 1.5.x... I either get popups that are too small or that are full screen with no javascript errors/warnings nor any other indicators as to why this happens...

looks ace!

Really Looks nice... is it able to be "attached" to eto?
