Author Tables in placeholder...

Hi

One way to get around this is to allow fullformatting, but=20
restrict the formatting types available on the Placeholder=20
control. The Telerik control provides an easy way to=20
hide/show buttons on the toolbar by amending=20
ToolsFile.xml. If you are concerned about authors copying=20
and pasting formatted text into the placeholder control,=20
it has a CleanFormattingOnPaste property that you can=20
consider using.

The more complicated way would be to write your own custom=20
placeholder definition - placeholder - placeholder control=20
set that allows only the HTML tags that you require.=20
There's some sample code in the "Custom Placeholder and=20
Placeholder Definitions Classes" of the MCMS SDK.

Hi,

But... Stefan... Didn't you mix up Placeholder and Placeholder control?
;-)... just teasing.

Thanks both for your answers. At the stage of our projet, replacing every
Html Placeholder Control by rad, or every HtmlPlaceholder by a custom one
would had required too much testing, and too many changes.

So the solution I chose was the following (please, don't slap me...):
I tricked the placeholder by transforming at each save table tags (and sub
tags) in allowed tags, and on load, do the transformation back. And then my
tables are allowed...

Thanks,

Cédric
