Hello,

My administator has found that the problem comes from Firefox which creates the tag <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> while IE7 creates <strike>

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> is not interpreted by some versions of Moodle.

Why does the HTML editor create different tags in different browsers?

Is this a bug?

Cheers,
Glenys
Hello,

The strikethrough icon in the Moodle text editor creates: strikethrough
That is with the code: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">strikethrough</span>

I work on several Moodle platforms. On some of them (1.9, 1.6) this code is removed by Moodle when the message (or wiki, or glossary item) is saved, though it works fine here and on at 1.8 platform I use.

It used to work fine on all the platforms. I'm not the administrator on these platforms. What can the administrators have done to cause this change and what can they do to solve the problem?

I know there is a workaround: to put in manually <strike>word</strike>. This is fine (though I believe deprecated?) for one or two words, but I need a better solution as I have a Grammar Glossary where there are dozens of examples of erroneous words and expressions intended to be indicated by being crossed out. The removal of all the crossings-out is causing confusion to the students. The Grammar Glossary is integrated into several courses. I can't even remove it easily without causing a lot of knock-on effects. What can I do?

Cheers,
Glenys

Salut Simon,

Tu es plus rapide que moi ! Je viens de découvrir que le problème venait de Firefox mais je n'avais pas vu en quoi consisté la différence entre IE7 et Firefox.

Je précise que le problème existe aussi dans 1.8.4 et dans 1.9. (site MoodleMoot 2008)
Elle n'existe pas dans le 1.8.2 (CLA).

Je vais reposer la question dans un forum anglais.

A+
