Lists weird in Firefox and html weirdness with 2.02?

  • My web host just upgraded everyone to WordPress 2.02.
    When I post in the new html editor it seems to change my html that I specifically set in the html code view window.

    Please see the problem here in the April 3 blog post in Firefox. Note that the html is not valid either. (It seems to have html conversion problems with bulleted lists)

    Is there some trick with the new html editor?
    I copied perfectly clean html from Dreamweaver into the html pop-up window. Then saved it in WP and when I view the page source the html has been changed and is not valid anymore.

    One error is that each list item has a <br/> added…

    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    any ideas?

    To see some of the other problems all you have to do is view the source using the FireFox HTML validator plugin that uses Tidy HTML. It finds a number of errors around the bulleted lists section.

    Here is an example of a bulleted list that got really weird when saving in the html editor. The tags don’t line up anymore and <br> tag added. Below is supposed to be a 5 item list like so:

    <ul>
    <li>point one </li>
    ...
    </ul>

    OK that didn’t post well ?? here it is again.

    Here is the good posted code:
    <ul><li>Immediate Business Name Registration</li>
    <li>Business Name Renewal electronic application (MBL in the mail within 2 weeks)</li>
    <li>Retail Sales Tax Vendor Permit electronic application (RST)</li>
    <li>Employer Health Tax electronic application (EHT)</li>
    <li>Workplace Safety and Insurance Board electronic application (WSIB)</li>
    </ul>

    Here is the bad code:


    <p>Immediate Business Name Registration<br />
    <ul></p>
    <p><li>Business Name Renewal electronic application (MBL in the mail within 2 weeks)</li><br />
    <li>Retail Sales Tax Vendor Permit electronic application (RST)</li><br />
    <li>Employer Health Tax electronic application (EHT)</li><br />

    <li>Workplace Safety and Insurance Board electronic application (WSIB)</li><br />
    </ul></p>
