I’m having a strange issue with safecracker where it strips attributes from html elements in a textarea fieldtype. (This was also happening with a WYGWAM fieldtype, so I turned it into a textarea to troubleshoot.)

For example, the style attribute on an image gets completely stripped when posted via safecracker. However, if I post via CP it’s fine.

The fieldtype is set to textarea with XHTML formatting. If I manually add the style=“border:1px solid red” to the CP it posts and displays in the template fine.

If I try the same thing via a safecracker form, the style attribute gets completely removed when I post.

Any ideas of why this might be happening?

I should add that I am running the latest version of EE (2.3.1).

Hi, NAlbuquerque.

I’d like to see if I can re-create the issue on a brand new version of EE 2.3.1. Can you post what you have in your SC form?

Hi Sue, here is simplified form which I used to troubleshoot on a blank template. My channel only consists of a single WYGWAM fieldtype—although I’ve changed it to a textarea and it does the same thing.

{exp:safecracker channel="group_posts" entry_id="{segment_4}" return="groups/view/{segment_3}" dynamic="no" include_jquery="yes"}
  
 
  <label for="title">Title</label>
  <input name="title" type="text" value="{title}">
 
     

 {field:group_posts_body}

   <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="no-padding">

{/exp:safecracker}

Hi Maheradmin (and NAlbuquerque?),

I was able to replicate the problem you posted about. Definitely looks like a bug, so I posted a bug report on your behalf here. I’d recommend adding a comment to that bug report so that you’re updated when a solution is posted.

Ji NAlbuquerque,

Since Kevin has posted the bug report, is there anything else we can assist you with?

Nope, just need to get this sorted out for a site launch coming up.  I’ve signed up for notifications on the bug report so hopefully this will get fixed soon.

Thanks!
