annoying <p> tags adds exrra line spacing in Firefox

CKEditor is adding <p> tags which causes Firefox to display extra line breaks between the text that is copied into the editor, wreaking the formatting. Is there anyway to permanently substitute these <p> tags with something like <span> tags so the extra lines won't be added? Can this be set using the Editor's format UI?

Adding "config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR;" to the config.js just adds more line spaces which really wreaks the formatting.

As it is now, I have to manually go in and remove the <p> tags from the source - but if the user re-uploads another copy & paste, the problem re-occurs.

you could just try removing them from the front end where the content is being displayed - this will then remove the <p> tags for that specific content for that page regardless of what is happening in the backend

Depending on whether you are using mysql or mysqli, you could do it this way:

if mysql

<?php echo(str_replace("<p>","</p>"), "", $row_RSname['ColumnName'])); ?>

if mysqli

<?php echo str_replace(array("<p>","</p>"), "",($RSname->getColumnVal("ColumnName"))); ?>

hope this helps

You can also try updating your version of CKEditor (which we have included in the latest version of databridge).

Just:
1) install the latest version of DataBridge
2) delete your local webassist/ckedtior folder
3) add a rich text editor field to a test page so that it recreates that folder
4) upload the latest version and test.

I've found the latest version adds less bloated code.
