Hi,
I have a java script Editor I mean a RTF kind of editor, which is coded
using JavaScript.
This kind of editor is available on hotmail.com or India times.com
I have a small problem with it whenever I type some content in that control
and press enter for next line I get double Line spacing and for single line
spacing I need to type shift+enter. Can some one tell me how to disable this
feature.

Regards,
Kishor Pise

By default, Enter does paragraph formatting (<p> </p>) — ends the current
paragraph and starts a new one, while Shift+Enter just inserts a line break
(<br/>). In most cases, the first is preferrable.

The paragraph tag has large margins above and below by default. Add a stylesheet
that sets margins for the <p/> tag to zero.

Also, if there are DIVs in the content being edited, then <div/> tags are
inserted instead of <p/>, which may also fit as they have no stock padding
or margins.

Hi Serge,
I understand what you are saying.. but still I am not able to apply a
style. I am confused here .. dont know where to apply style. I have a div tag
only .. and user can author anything could be paragraph(s) or <Br>.. I just
want to do it for paragrph..
It will be nice if you can just paste here example...

Regards,
Kishor

Try something like this:

<html>
<head>
<style>
p { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div contenteditable="true"></div>
</body>
</html>

(I don't remember exactly a proper value for the contenteditable attribute,
take yours)

Hi,
This is fine ..actually .. to apply style for a paragraph you need to write
like this
<P style=......> but the problem here is I dont know .. what he will typing
inside the editable div content. so in that case I need to visit each and
every inner tag of div and check whether it is a <P> and apply style. this
could be a slower solution as on every enter it will go in loop.

It will be very nice if we apply style at once somewhere....dont know how to
achieve.

Hmm … Have you noticed the sample in my message? It applies a GLOBAL style
to ALL the paragraphs in the document. Including ones within the editable
DIV.

This exactly is done by the browser itself, due to the P stylesheet entry.

Aye, it actually applies to the runtimerStyle property instead of style in
this case, but who cares?
