More information on this that makes this less critical but still an issue:
In my jahia 404 installation, the HTML editor markup and tidy features
seemed to be switched
off by default so I did not realize this feature was there ... another
newbie issue - sorry!
However in 405, these are turned on and so I ran into this.
Once these are unchecked, things behave much better and I can accomplish the
scripting that
I need. However, it is still the case that when I paste something with a
script into the
content area, I cannot later update it since what is displayed in the editor
(simple text
as well as HTMLArea) is not the same. What I see is:
<input onclick="function anonymous()
{
function anonymous()
{
function anonymous()
{
executeCommands();
}
}
}" type="button" name="cmdNote" />
However, when I view the source of the saved page, it is correct.
This means that it is a "write-only" exercise to add complex HTML source
fragments and
therefore the source for these have to be maintained outside of Jahia - not
very satisfactory
for content management.
George.

Tried "toggle HTML source" mode of the HTMLArea editor and of the ActiveX
editor.
It does not help - the result is still a javascript error when the content
is saved and the page is refreshed.
Then when I view the content in the the HTMLArea editor in source mode, or
in the simple text editor, I see the function is wrapped in a CDATA section.
This starts to look like something that has changed somewhere deeper than
the editor.
Any further suggestions or work arounds (for example, where can I go to look
at the saved HTML and perhaps remove the CDATA manually).

Hi George,
Maybe you could try using the <HTML> mode of one of the new editors (such as
HTMLArea) to solve your problem ?
