Space and carriage return linefeed in gecko

[lasker@…]

In Netscape and Firefox i have after the start of xinha in a empty textarea a Space and a carriage returen linefeed. No HTML is in the textarea. After a save of this "empty" textarea i store this in my database.

This problem i don't have with the IE. A empty textarea is empty. What can i do?

You can see this in the demo http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/xinha-nightly/e … ample.html

Test it with firefox, switch to html and you see a empty line and then <p>. Test it in IE and you don't see the empty line.

I added these lines to the GetHtml plugin:

    if(HTMLArea.is_gecko)
        html = html.replace(/(.*)<br \/>\n$/, '$1'). //strip trailing <br> added by moz
            replace(/^\n(.*)/, '$1'); //strip leading newline added by moz

to get rid of the empty line as well as the <br> that sometimes gets added at the end. The same fix ought to work in the built-in getHTML. Just add the above lines right before the return.

I have test this a little bit. Looks fine for this time. Thanks a lot.

WONTFIX in the core, because who are we to say they don't want a trailing <br/> (especially if Mozilla fix the problem one day and Xinha starts to delete legit trailing br's). It's also something that can be done on the server if the user wants.
