When I save pages with Internet Explorer compared to other browsers - with or without FCK - theres af big difference in the result and what source code shows.

The problem with Internet Explorer, compared to FireFox is that IE saves with a huge vertical space added.
Source code:

Internet Explorer

After save:

<p><DIV><br />
<P>div container in fck editor content saved</p></div></p>
</div>


<p><DIV><P>div container - FCK disabled</p></div></p>
</div>

Firefox

After save:

<div>
<p>div container in fck editor content saved</p>
</div>

It is a big problem, since I have to ask the customers to avoid Internet Explorer and install eg. Firefox. Else they ruin all pages as soon they edit them.
Interresting though, if I later save the ruined pages with Firefox FireFox, pages is cured back to "normal" again.

Anyone aware of this issue, is there some way to tweak things to avoid extra tags?

any ideas are welcome.

I had the same problem, after some background checking I found the following solution.

Go to yoursite/admin/settings/filters/2 -- This is for the full html input filter

and disable the filter checkbox that converts line-ends to HTML( br and p)

This is great info - thanks!

In my case I needed to uncheck Line break converter in my Filtered HTML input format.

My contributors' role is set up to use that format.
