Thanks

Why is this enabled by default?

Can anyone repro the issue? Or is it just my Contempt based template that is the problem?

It appears to be a bug

I recently changed my Reading options to display two days of posts per page and when it does this the category display doesn’t work correctly.

I’ve set it back to display 15 posts per page adn teh problem disappeared

It appears that this happens no matter what editor or input method you use as long as the authors are not at least an Editor.

Somewhere in the code the backend strips out attributes from anchors

>> But really, the wysiwyg shipped with 2.0.2 is fair useless.

Is it a new feature or did it just not get tested before the release?

>> I don’t know what the “xmlrpc interface” is or does, but usually you can get around the stripping code problem by disabling the wysiwyg editor and using the normal one.

Well if I’m going to do that then I’ll just not use the web based editor at all as its a bit of a PITA to edit anything other than a small post in the text view of the web based editor.

>> Is it a bug, per se?

If the editor adds a tag attribute and then rips it out then I can’t see that it is anything other than a bug.

>> Out of curiosity, what happens if you go to Options -> Writing and uncheck the option: “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”?

Its not checked.

The bug only happens, it appears, when I add a post with the WYSIWYG editor. I’ve added a draft post using w.bloggar and then editied it repeatedly and while the editor does indeed modify the HTMl adn moves the tag it does not remove it.

I need to confirm this with another site author who is using ecto on the Mac.

It only removes it, AFAICT, when I use the WYSIWYG editor.

Just confirmed it. Add a link with a target attribute in the WYSIWYG editor and then save it and the editor removes the attribute.

Where do you report bugs and does anyone know of a fix for this?

>> If you’re using the wysiwyg, yes, this will happen.

So why the heck does the WYSIWYG editor have an option to do this? I can add the target attribute in the WYSIWYG editor and then it just removes it?

That doesn’t make any sense at all.

>> If you’re using the wysiwyg, yes, this will happen.

This happens even when using the xmlrpc interface.

Is there some way to disable this as it seems rather heavy-handed to be messing with my HTML

Found the problem.

I have commented out some style attributes and IE is ignoring the fact that they are commented.

I removed the attributes entirely and the issue has gone away
