Hello all,

My users have been complaining about a sporadic error where they can’t submit a record because of disallowed HTML tags (I use JCE for my HTML editor). The field is set to filter <script> and <iframe> tags. The problem tag for my users though is “&nbsp” which seems very confusing to me. I have tested this with multiple users and it has been consistently a problem.

Am I the only one having this problem? What could be the source?

Se parameters. Sometimes people just copy/past text from web or word. That can contain tags that are not alloed. You also can turn HTML filtering off in field parameters.

You could see that because you have entered <script> without escaping it, it brok the page. that is why filters are needed.

I’m having difficulty recreating this consistently - it seems to only happen sporadically.

What I can confirm is the following: 1.) The user was using Chrome on a mobile device 2.) no copy and paste was used - only functions available through JCE 3.) no tags other than and

<

p> were in use 4.) after removing   the problem went away

I’ll post an actual example the next time it manifests itself.
