TYPO3 Core

I am using TYPO3 4.2.12 with rtehtmlarea 1.7.14.

I have this in my Page TSConfig:

1. Clear everything to start with
   RTE.classes >
   RTE.default >

RTE.default { # Specify the buttons to be used and their layout
showButtons := addToList(chMode)

proc {      
        overruleMode = ts_css
        allowTags = span

entryHTMLparser_db = 1
        entryHTMLparser_db {
    ## TAGS ALLOWED
            allowTags < RTE.default.proc.allowTags
            tags {
                span.rmTagIfNoAttrib = 1           
            }
        }
    }
}

In text mode in the RTE I enter:

<p><span class="foo">Hi there</span></p>

and save it. This works fine - no changes. However, if I enter:

<p><span>Hi there</span></p>

and save it then in Firefox 3.6.3 everything appears fine but in IE 8.0 I get:

<p>Hi there</span></p>

In fact, if I save with Firefox and then read back with IE I get the same effect. So it looks to me that the same error occurs for each browser when saving to the database but that Firefox cleans things up on the way back.

Stanislas advised:

Use:
allowTags = span, p

However, there is a problem in the html parser as the result in the
database is

Hi there</span>

Please report the issue in the bugtracker.

Using
...
tags {
span.rmTagIfNoAttrib = 1
span.nesting = 1
}

will work around the issue.

This worked for me!
