HTMLArea - bug in generated links?

[Thannaree]

Hello there,

I'm not sure whether this should be posted here or under report security problem.

I'm using the latest ZC version and I've created EZ pages that include html bookmark tags. Note that these bookmarks only link parts of text within the same page, not from one page to another.

This is an example:
<a title="What is your privacy policy?" href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=66666#~_What_is_your_privacy_policy">~ What is your privacy policy?</a>

There is not any issue whatsoever when I enter the text, or modify it in the admin in “Plain text.” However, when I enter, or modify, it in "htmlArea," and hit update, the system adds my admin folder to the bookmark link. Using the example above, it would become:

<a title="What is your privacy policy?" href="http://www.mysite.com/MYADMIN/index.php?main_page=page&id=66666#~_What_is_your_privacy_policy">~ What is your privacy policy?</a>

So when I click any of the bookmarks on the site, that brings the admin login page up. I had a few heartattacks with this issue recently but have fixed this by just entereing it all in "Plaintext," and thought to report it.

Yes, HTMLAREA will do that for links and for images.
HTMLarea has many limitations including those you mention.
That's why it's being removed in the next version. CKEditor is the preferred editor of choice. You can install the addon for it from the Free Addons area.

Thanks DrByte for your reply and recommendation. I'll try CKEditor out!
