TYPO3 Core

In what browser(s) do you get this error?

I did some test with IE7 and FF3.

I could not produce any problem with IE7.

Note that when there is only one item in the list, the only way to select the list itself (ol) rather then the list item (li) is to use the status bar at the bottom of the editing area, and click on the ol element. Selecting text with the cursor can only select the list item (li).

In FF3 however, I noted that when there is only one item in the list, I cannot assign a class to the list (ol) or remove a class from it even if I select it in the status bar at the bottom of the editing area.

I order to avoid assigning a class to the wrong type of element, you should remove it from the dropdown for that type. You can do that by qualifying the selector in your style sheet (ol.classname { } but not li.classname { } and not .classname { }). You may also configure the list of allowed classes for the ol tag and for the li tag in the blockstyle button configuration.

it is FF2, FF3 has some features I don't like!
You are right, IE7 has no problem.

I use
ol.liste-abc { list-style-type: lower-alpha;}
ol.liste-griechisch { list-style-type: lower-greek;}
ol.liste-gross-abc { list-style-type: upper-alpha;}
--> there should be no class possible on li tag

I select it in the status bar at the bottom of the editing area

I always do it this way in my tests.

I think, that is my problem. With multiple items there is no problem! In the jpg you can see, that the class is passed to the li tag.

I did some further tests with Safari, Chrome and Opera. This is a Firefox-specific issue.

The attached patch fixes the issue.

Committed to SVN TYPO3core branch TYPO3_4-2 (revision 4272) (for inclusion in TYPO3 4.2.2) and trunk (revision 4273).

I made the patch, cleared all possible caches, but -- the problem is still there in FF2.

After applying the patch, you need to delete all files in directory typo3temp/rtehtmlarea and clear the browser cache.

That was it! I didn't know about that cache.

Thank you for this fast solution.
