1: Problem with posting on a forum "The attribute 'dir' is not allowed for div tags."
Posted by SCS on 10/02/24 06:59

One of our members has had problems posting on a discussion forum. He says:

"I’m getting this error message when I attempt to post on White Tower forum. 
The attribute 'dir' is not allowed for div tags. "

The problem appears to be unique to him as other members have been able to post on the same forum. I've advised him to try logging out/in,  different browser etc but that's just clutching at straws on my part.

Any help/answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:)

Probably they're cutting and pasting content into the wysiwyg, which is adding some invalid HTML, which it's then complaining about.

If doing cut/paste they could try the Paste as Plain Text button to remove dodgy formatting. Or try the Cleanup Messy Code button after pasting it.

Thanks
