SOLVED: HTML stripped from document description

[vdrover]

In the main site template, I have created a new class to highlight certain parts of my text. This class is available in my WYSIWYG editor, and is in use as expected throughout the site.

I have also used this class in a document description in DocMan. However, the class is not applied to the text. The text is plainly styled like the rest of the text in the description, almost as if the style information had been stripped away. What's more, when i edit the document on the frontend, the style attributes from this class are displayed just fine in the editor.

I tried adding the styles to the docman css file, but this didn't help.

Why would the style attributes not be respected in the document description?

NOTE: Edited title for clarity

I've done some more testing and searching and have some additional information:

1. I can now confirm that when the document is displayed on the frontend, all the HTML has been stripped from the document descritpion.

2. When the document is edited, the original HTML still remains. I confirmed this by checking the database entry for the documents. Indeed, the HTML is present.

3. Category descriptions display HTML just fine, as would be expected.

Two other unsolved topics may be related to this issue also:

1. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=375

2. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=573

I added this issue to the tracker, but an interim fix would be great.

Hi,

Unfortunately this solution does not work in Joomla 1.5.6
When I comment out line 215 the HTML returns but the page is a mess

Any Idea !

Any Idea !

I use Joomla 1.5.7 in legacy mode. When I commented this line, page was messed up, but only if: 1. there was at least one picture in description, 2. tooltip icon was turned on in themes configuration ! Somehow those two pictures interfere, just turn the tooltip icon off and everything should be fine.
