abbr tags mangled in source code

Hi

When I create a web page in Moodle 1.5 using the editor, I go into the code view and add <abbr> tags where necessary eg:

<abbr title="world wide web">WWW</abbr>

However, when the page is processed the source code looks like this:

<abbr title="world wide web" />WWW</abbr />

and as a result, the page's code doesn't validate.

Is there a work-around for this? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Hmm, I'm unable to reproduce the problem you describe. Are you using 1.5.2?

"Moodle 1.5 + (2005060201)" according to the admin page. Maybe it's been fixed in 1.5.2

Thanks for trying.

We have recently upgraded to 1.6 development (2005101200) . The problem is still happening.

Does anyone have any further ideas?

Hi,

I'm guessing you're using Internet Explorer, which doesn't support the abbr tag. The HTML editor seems to rely on the browser's handling of a particular tag.

Perhaps you could use the acronym tag instead?

I'm doing a little dance of joy!big grin

Thanks

Thanks for your feedback - it's nice to know you're happy. Apologies for not realising where the problem lay initially.

(Note to self: Must test in IE occasionally wink)
