Description of problem

When attenpting to modify a HTML in the HTML pages management I have a problem with a <nav> tag that closes prematurely. I want the <nav> tag to enclose the entire HTML page, but the HTML editor won't let me. It immediately closes the tag. This is what I want to get:

Code:

<nav id="menu-wrap"> MY HTML CODE </nav>

But instead, this is what I get after saving the HTML file:

Code:

<nav id="menu-wrap"></nav> MY HTML CODE <nav id="menu-wrap"></nav>

The end result is of course that my HTML code is not enclosed by the <nav> tag.

Thanks for your help!

im having the same issue with html in a widget

my forum is in my profile
version phpbb3

i post this

Code:

    <div id="afflcode">
<dl class="codebox"><dt>CODE:</dt>
<dd><code>
&lt;a href="http://liquidcode.forumotion.com/" target="_blank" title="Liquid Code"&gt;
&lt;img src="https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/qxGvXHLTTSmIm18mDoZk+lqaff.gif" alt="Liquid Code" /&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;</code></dd></dl></div>

then after i save and page reloads it like this

Code:

<div id="afflcode"><dl class="codebox"><dt></dt>CODE:<dd></dd></dl><code style="">
<a href="http://liquidcode.forumotion.com/" target="_blank" title="Liquid Code">
<img src="https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/qxGvXHLTTSmIm18mDoZk+lqaff.gif" alt="Liquid Code" />
</a></code><dl class="codebox"><dd></dd></dl>
</div>

as you can see the word CODE: is removed from the dt element and my charicter code have been turned to sybols and exstra

Code:

<dl class="codebox">

was added to the end

Hello

Our editor doesn't recognize the tag <nav>. By consequence, it closed the tag randomly and destructures the whole layout
I don't have solution! You should not use <nav> tag!

Maybe @Ange tuteur has a better explanation than mine...

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi !

I cannot seem to recreate the problem.
http://forumbeta.forumactif.com/h2-test-de-nav

Code:

<nav id="menu-wrap">
  <a href="/">Accuiel</a> &bull;
  <a href="/memberlist">Membres</a> &bull;
  <a href="/groups">Groupes</a> &bull;
  <a href="/search">Rechercher</a>
</nav>

Are you using advanced mode or simple ? I wasn't able to recreate it in either mode, but if you're making HTML pages, I HIGHLY suggest using advanced mode. The SCEditor can cause tag corrections which are less than helpful.

Do you mean "simple" or "WYSIWYG" mode? I use "simple". In WYSIWYG mode I can't see the tags.

he means when editing the html page did you use the  or the   ... you should use the advanced mode

Thanks guys for the quick and helpful solutions. In advanced mode the problem disappeared. This thread can be closed now.
