I've set up a repeatable area in my web page in which there are three editable fields per row (using Nicedit). In Admin, I enter the text into each field, then save, then visit the web page. And there in the HTML, I find that a <br /> tag is being inserted right after the text in one of my text fields.

My theories were the following:

1. "This only happened when I copied and pasted text into the Nicedit text box." False. It also happens even when I type things in manually.

2. "This happened in any Nicedit text box that I tabbed out of (to get to the next Nicedit text box)." False. It still happens, whether I tab from box to box, or mouse-click into each one separately.

I've made sure that no "empty" spaces are present. And so far there seems to be no consistent pattern (that I've detected) explaining when it appears and when it doesn't. Currently, a <br /> tag has been inserted at the end of every text box in the latest row.

Here's what the outputted HTML looks like:

<span class="bold">
Dec. 14, 5:30 p.m.<br />: </span>Holiday Event<br />, Main Hall<br />.

Each of the above <br /> tags was inserted, apparently, by Nicedit or Couch. They don't pre-exist in my web page.

UPDATE: I changed one of the editable fields to 'text' instead of "nicedit', and the <br /> problem ceased to exist for that field. Seems only to occur with Nicedit.

Has anyone ever seen this or have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Since this is happening, consider stripping html tags from content:

Code: Select all

<cms:excerptHTML count='100' ignore='br'>
    <cms:show content /> <!-- instead of 'content' use name of editable -->
</cms:excerptHTML>

This should remove <br/> from string, while keeping any other occasional tags. http://docs.couchcms.com/tags-reference ... thtml.html

Thanks, trendoman.

I've implemented your fix, and suspect it will indeed work. I'm having some other issues with this particular repeating region at the moment, so I haven't really been able to see if this works yet.

Appreciate your help.
