I am using Editwrx on 3 websites. The only part of the pages that are editable are text blocks that are in their own table. The editblock code is inserted just before the html <table> tag and just after the </table> tag.
My problem is two of the site owners who are website novices copy and paste text into Editwrx that have html tags. The new pasted text/hmtl totally messes up the page or makes it uneditable. When I ask them what they did they cannot or will not tell me what they were doing. I then have to go back in and resetup of the page with the editblocks.
Is there a way to setup Editwrx so this type of problem cannot happen in the future?
First of all, have your client check the Create backup of the last saved copy on the Save prompt before saving so you can restore easily from the backup.
It sounds like they are copying underlying html table tags to their clipboard from either an html page or Word document. That generally should not cause a problem because the MSHTML engine should not copy only cell tags without completing a full table on the clipboard. But, with a Word document anything is possible since the underlying code on the doc may be messed up to begin with.
Have them copy the content, then click the Paste From MSWord Document icon (The clipboard with a W on it). Select the Paste As Plain Text tab and paster into, the field. That will strip all HTML tags out of what they copied and insert only the plain text.
Keith, thank you for giving the correct process. As I said these two site owners are total novices and could be doing who knows what. I will have them first backup and then only copy and paste out of a MS Word document.
