The span element containing a style tag causes markup corruption

[kandadaboggu]

When I save a page part with a span element containing the style tag the markup gets corrupted .

<span style="font-size:12px;">Hello World</span>

Gets saved as

Hello World</span>

I have seen this behavior in 2.0.6 and 2.0.8

You're probably experiencing the same issue as in #1912, #1907 and #1891. It will be fixed in 2.0.9 so for now you can put this in your Gemfile:

gem 'refinerycms', :git => 'git://github.com/resolve/refinerycms.git', :branch => '2-0-stable'

I participated in #1891 thread. When I reverted to 2.0.6, I didn't see #1891.

The span issue exists in 2.0.6. I am suspecting the fix for #1891 might not address the span issue .

Can you try the latest 2-0-stable branch and if it's still not working I'll reopen this issue. Thanks.

I used 2-0-stable and I still see the same issue/bug. I used the following directive in my Gemfile.

gem 'refinerycms', :git => 'git://github.com/resolve/refinerycms.git', :branch => '2-0-stable'

Can you try a span with a class instead of defining style directly?

In my case when I tried to save page with <span style="font-size:12px;">Hello World</span> after save span tags were gone but when I tried <span class="test">Hello World</span> it didn't remove anything.

Not sure how we should fix this.

[kandadaboggu]

It works with class attribute. I see the problem only with the style
attribute. That too only in a span tag.

Is it possible that the HTML validation is stripping the style attribute?

[parndt]

It is possible. Can you check whether it's in the database after you save / whether it's being stripped out after it re-renders when you edit?

[kandadaboggu]

The data stored in the database gets corrupted and the subsequent page rendering gets messed up. The effect is quite similar to #1891 and only difference is this issue existed as far back as 2.0.6.

[parndt]

Great so that rules out the sanitize method as being the culprit thanks for doing that.

This must be how wymeditor wants to work… can you add the same style attribute to any other kind of tag? Is it just span?

[kandadaboggu]

Just the span tag. The style attribute worked with div, p, table tags. It is possible that there are other errant tags that I haven't encountered.

[parndt]

Maybe it's the fact that span is an inline tag vs a block tag such as div, p, table etc. At any rate it gives us something to investigate!
