v51 - 1 April 2006

Bugs fixed:

• syncTextarea did not attach to onsubmit if the form was not the immediate parent of the textarea

this bug sometimes described as "Whizzywig does not save if it's in a table or div"

• Fallback font for Courier incorrectly specified as 'mono' : corrected to 'monospace'
• Enter key on forms submitted whole page - Enter key now does nothing
• 404 errors if buttonPath == '' or 'textbuttons'
• Width calc now uses 'ex' rather than 'em' - better in Firefox

Will insert HTML or execute javascript (which may be internal or external to whizzywig)

• Added buttons to insert 'http://' or 'mailto:' in link form
• Setting color no longer inserts font tag
• cleanUp() has a better go at removing XML inserted by Office applications
• gentleClean switch: set gentleClean = false and spans, inline styles and classes

removed by cleanUp(). Default is true; i.e. they are retained (unless class=Mso...), so not as vicious as v50

• syncTextarea() now called whenever cleanUp() is executed

v50 - 1 February 2006

Bugs fixed:

• minor bugs on cleanup and insHTML.

New Features:

• cleanUp() removes spans, inline styles and classes as well as fonts and table widths

ie vicious with text pasted in from Office applications, but preserves bold, italics, bullets etc. This will stomp over some formatting (e.g. text color) applied by whizzywig, so you can disable with gentleClean = true;

• No longer forces a white background - picks up background from the cssFile
• Highlight button enabled for Mozilla/FireFox
• Now uses real buttons for tighter code
• If a button image is missing, it will use (translated) text instead of reporting a broken image.

Note, this will generate harmless 404 errors in log files.

Note, if you want process the textarea with your own onsubmit event, you must call syncTextarea() first.

v49 - 23 December 2005

v48 - 13 December 2005

New Features:

Ctrl+L opens Link dialog, Ctrl+M opens Image dialog

• Bold command always inserts STRONG, Italic command always inserts EM

-this means IE users can unformat changes made by Firefox users and vice versa -also B and I are deprecated tags

• 'Choose style' select has option 'Computer code' to insert CODE tag
• cleanup() leaves spans and classes except 'mso...'
• cleanup() substitutes long dash with '-'
• Clicking the Cleanup button with text selected removes formatting from the selection

Bugs fixed:

• Cursor not visible in HTML view in Firefox/Mozilla

v47 - 12 October 2005

New Feature:

• Clean up now takes width attributes out of tables and TD

(so tables pasted in from Word will have liquid layout) Note: you can automatically invoke clean up on Submit with form onsubmit="cleanUp(); syncTextarea();" ...

• Cleanup has a go at removing MS xml in spans

(typically introduced if pasting in a Word document with an image)

• Clean up of MS "smart quotes" reverts to replacing with " and '

because HTML entities cause problems with spell checking, don't they?

• Insert image border and margin fields have tooltip - can now be

numbers (e.g. '0', '1') or CSS values (e.g. 'thin dashed #999999', '1px solid black')

Bugs fixed:

incorrectly inserted the image or table at the top of the page.
