CLEditor Version 1.4.0 June 9th, 2013

It's been awhile, but I finally found some time to show CLEditor a little love. This release is primarily intended to bring CLEditor up to date with recent jQuery changes and maybe fix a bug or two.

Additions / Updates:

• Added support for all versions of jQuery up to 1.10.1.
• Removed dependencies on the depreciated jQuery browser object.
• Changed the width default to auto. This treats the editor as a block element and fills it's parent container.
• Changed the useCSS default to true.
• Updated this site; Demo pages now include code samples.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bug that would cause the color drop downs to not work in older versions of Opera.
• Fixed problem with wrapping of toolbar buttons in Internet Explorer 6/7.

Table Plugin Version 1.0.3

• Text input widths are now set using an inline style instead of the size attribute to maintain a consistent appearance when using various CSS frameworks (i.e. Bootstrap) that set a default width on all text inputs.

CLEditor Version 1.3.0 October 12th, 2010

With the addition of the following core changes, CLEditor is now capable of supporting multiple source code formats (including HTML, XHTML and BBCode), as well as producing much cleaner output. These features have been exposed as optional properties, methods, callbacks and plug-ins to provide an even greater degree of customization, while resulting in an overall reduction in total bandwidth consumption.

Additions / Updates:

• Added an updateTextArea optional parameter which is used to supply a callback handler for converting HTML from the iframe into source code for the textarea.
• Added an updateFrame optional parameter which is used to supply a callback handler for converting source code from the textarea into HTML for the iframe.
• The html button was renamed to source and the button image was updated.
• The .htmlMode() method of the cleditor object was renamed to .sourceMode().
• The textarea and iframe are now updated after the editor loses focus, instead of after every key press and mouse click.
• The change event is now fired after the editor loses focus, instead of after every key press and mouse click.
• During initialization, the editor is now constructed off screen and added to the DOM when finished. This change has significantly reduced the number of DOM changes during initialization, resulting in a faster load time.
• When running under an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, all toolbar buttons except the source button will be disabled and the editor will initially appear in source mode. The source button can still be used to preview any HTML that might have been entered.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed bug that would prevent the textarea from being updated until after the next key press or mouse click when pasting content into the editor using the context menu.
• Fixed bug with FireFox that would cause foreground and background color selections starting with #00 not to be applied.
• Fixed bug with Internet Explorer that would cause all text within the editor to be selected when switching between the source and rich text views.
• Updated the z-index for the cleditorPopup class so that drop down menus work properly within a jQuery UI dialog.
• Fixed bug that was causing the editor to not function under FireFox 1.5.
• Fixed bug that was causing the last input element on popups to be focused instead of the first.

New Plugins:

• XHTML - This plugin is used to generate Transitional XHTML source and will optionally replace old depreciated HTML tags.
• BBCode - This plugin is used to generate BBCode source code common in many CMS packages and message boards.

CLEditor Version 1.2.6 September 13th, 2010

• Resolved issue with buttons appearing disabled in certain browsers until the editor receives focus for the first time.
• Fixed bug causing Internet Explorer to display the message 'a.range.length is null or not an object' when the editor is not focused during initialization.

CLEditor Version 1.2.5 September 8th, 2010

• Resolved issue with Internet Explorer that would cause previously typed text to be replaced when executing the insertimage, createlink and inserthtml commands, even when no text was selected.

CLEditor Version 1.2.4 September 5th, 2010

• Added a workaround for a bug in Internet Explorer that was causing the editor to lose focus and disable the toolbar buttons when clicking below the end of the document.
• Added a .selectedHTML() method which returns the editor's current selection as an HTML formatted string.

CLEditor Version 1.2.3 September 3rd, 2010

• Added a 'Paste as Text' button which allows pasting of unformatted plain text.
• Toolbar buttons are now enabled and disabled based on availability using the browser's queryCommandEnabled command. Note: Firefox will indicate that the cut, copy and paste commands are available but will block execution of these commands. Also, all version of IE have a bug that corrupts the undo/redo stack, therefore these buttons are always disabled for IE.
• Added a getEnabled callback function for all button definitions to provide a method for plug-in developers to enable/disable buttons based on availability.
• Added a docType property which sets the document type for improved cross browser rendering. The default is HTML 4.01 Transitional.
• Resolved issue that was causing a link tag to be generated with an empty href attribute when the docCSSFile property was an empty string. In certain situations, this would appear to load the page twice.
• Resolved issue that was preventing font changes from being applied in Opera.

CLEditor Version 1.2.2 August 15th, 2010

• Removed the .restoreSelection() method.
• Renamed the .resizeControls() method to .refresh().
• Resolved issues related to initializing a hidden editor then showing it at a later time.
• Resolved issues related to re-parenting an editor.
• The current selection and caret position under Internet Explorer are now internally managed and properly restored after the editor loses and gains focus. This change eliminates the need for the .restoreSelection() method and causes Internet Explorer to behave more like every other browser.
• Added a docCSSFile property to allow styling of the document contained within the editor.
• Reduced total bandwidth consumption to just over 9K.

Table Plugin Version 1.0.2

• Removed call to the .restoreSelection() method.

• For browsers that do not support the cut, copy and paste commands, a more informative message is now displayed.
• All script tags are now HTML encoded to prevent script injection attacks in html mode.
