[opencms-dev] WYSIWYG Editor Problem

[Claus Priisholm]

In an attempt to allow users to edit a JSP page, where most of the page 
is simple HTML, I've tried to do a little hack with plain pages (which 
can be called up in the WYSIWYG editor as opposed to JSP files) I found 
two things:

1) The MS editor component seemingly strips certain things (like JSP 
tags) and rearranges other stuff upon save (I doubt that it is OpenCms 
that does it)
2) You can edit HTML pages, but certain things won't work - it isn't 
the most complete HTML editor and externally referenced resources like 
CSS and stuff may not hook up correctly if you imported from an 
existing site.

An obvious thing not supported is JavaScript, which for some special 
pages I tested caused a blank page to appear.

The exception you get is because the 'page' type page is actually an 
XML file (look at a newly created 'page'-type file in the source 
editor, you'll note that the actual HTML is surrounded by XML CDATA 
tags). I'm not sure if it is safe to simply switch the resource type in 
the DB and then add those tags and be done with it.
