New CKEditor content stripping

When you open an EZ Page for editing with CKEditor, if it has an iframe to display video (for example), the Editor simply silently clobbers that block of HTML. If you're not paying attention, as soon as you save you lose your content.

Curious to see if someone has built a check for conditions like this, or has anyone had success buying the commercial version of CKEditor? The fact that they don't just list a price ("call for a quote!") makes me a bit nervous.

It will break content for non-video iframes too.
For EZ Pages and iframes just use the Plain Text editor.

Even worse is self hosted (non-iframe) html5 video. Even the plain text editor will break content. Only solution for define pages is to upload the edited file via FTP.
I'm not sure whether inserted js code will break (just don't remember anymore). I stopped to edit complex define pages e.g. the frontpage a long time ago within zen cart because of these problems.

Also, one of the major changes for me is links. Many of our sites use a popup window to add info to product descriptions.

FYI, if you want to add such to a description with the new CKEditor, you can use something like:

<a href="/images/large/PS-001_LRG.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no,width=420,height=420'); return false;">Small Craft Navigation Aid</a>

Note that there are lots of options but we currently only set the width and height for a desktop.
