Latest Drupal 6, 6.x-1.3-rc3 FCKeditor.

If I disable the FCKeditor in any field, it produces a
break, and the rest of the field is empty, and the editor is not there. This is producing weird results in some fields.

Anyone seen this?

I read this several times and I can't figure out what you are asking.

Sorry:

I have FCKeditor installed on my site. By default it shows up in most text areas. However, the admin can add paths to the preferences to disable it. When I disable it in a text field, the text field should be empty. However, it is not.
In the upper left corner there is always a HTML break: a br in carrots (like in the title of this post).

The break is annoying to me, because it shows up in PHP fields, and it's annoying to users because it confuses them.

Ah, I understand now. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I do have a potentially useful piece of advice regarding FCKEditor and admin text fields. Instead of excluding fields, you should think about including paths. This will keep FCKeditor away from everything in the admin section.

  1. Go to Home » Administer » Site configuration » FCKeditor settings » FCKeditor Global Profile » Visibility Settings
  2. Change Use inclusion or exclusion mode to "include"
  3. Delete the contents of Fields to include/exclude. You can copy and paste them to a text file if you want to get them back later.
  4. Under Paths to Include, fill in the following:
    content/*
node/*
user/*
comment/*
forum/*

Now FCKEditor should stay out of the text fields in your admin section. This could potentially solve your <br /> issue.
