I've upgraded the webHtmlEditor from 11.1 to 12.2 (the latest version I purchased). They are now giving me problems. I'm using it to display HTML text that is used on our external websites. However, escaped characters like '—' or '’' will load into the editor and display correctly but on the next postback I get a javascript error: Sys.Webforms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknow error occured while processing the request on the server The status code returned from server is 500. When these characters are removed, the page is able to postback without crashing. Since the editor is not creating the markup, I don't have control over the escaped characters. Is there a way to have the editor tolerate these characters without crashing? This is the only reason I'm using the box in the first place.
Thanks for your help,
Dave
Thank you for your feedback. I'll be glad to help you if you need something else.
Regards,
Thanks for your reply. I managed to work around it but it was so long ago, I don't recall exactly what it was that I did. Sorry and thank you.
Hi Dave,
Please, add those character to the property SpecialCharacterList of the WebHtmlEditor control and see if the problem still exists. Actually, I tried reproducing your issue, but I didn't receive this error.
The other suggestion that I have is that maybe there is some specific setting on your application server. You could check if this is error is reproducible when you type those characters into a standard input field and post back to the server.
Please, let me know of the outcome of this check.
Thanks,
