CKEditor adding extra space

[bryan7707]

when copying and pasting a table into the editor it is adding an extra   into an empty cell

this is example of the table with this hideous black bar

does anyone know how to get the editor stop doing that

Are you pasting into the editor when in plain text mode??

I am pasting into the editor using ckeditor's wysiwyg

Might be this: http://ckeditor.com/forums/FCKeditor...A0-empty-cells.

Short answer, the CKEditor automatically populates empty cells with a

 

, but you can workaround it by putting a comment in the cell, for instance,

<td><!-- blank --></td>

and then it should be blank.

thanks though I would have to manually add that html code a thousand times

there has to be away to stop ckeditor from just adding it to begin with

[bialecki]

Oh okay, I think you can fix that by changing the CKEditor settings to include:

config.fillEmptyBlocks = false; 

The fillEmptyBlocks setting works on all empty elements, not just table cells, but it should do the trick.

thanks so far for your help

do you know where and now to add that

I am in the config.js file though it looks like have to structure the code more then just paste that line it

I did paste the line in and nothing happened so this is my guess

I pasted the code I have in there now which I got from a forum post from dr. byte as people were complaining about the extra line breaks it also adds

CKEDITOR.on( 'instanceReady', function( ev )
{
// turn off excess line breaks in html output formatting
ev.editor.dataProcessor.writer.setRules( 'p',
{
indent : false,
breakBeforeOpen : false,
breakAfterOpen : false,
breakBeforeClose : false,
breakAfterClose : true
});
ev.editor.dataProcessor.writer.setRules( 'br',
{
indent : false,
breakBeforeOpen : false,
breakAfterOpen : false,
breakBeforeClose : false,
breakAfterClose : true
});
});

alright I got it work

first I changed the config.js file back to the original way ckeditor had it when I installed it

second pasted the config.fillEmptyBlocks = false; inside the brackets and it worked

thank you for your help

Yup, was just going to ask what your config looked like and mention the default config. Glad it's working. Cheers.

I can't get a paragraph space to work at all now, I even went and added line breaks in the html editor of ckeditor and all it does is add tons of these

and they don't do anything
