editor filtering code

    Hi!
    In all of my WP installs, 2 of them the latest 2.12, the wysiwyg editor messes up the div tags I insert in code view and changes them to p tags. It just adds a paragraph tag and a no breking space in between them. What is this? I’m a programmer and all that, but want to use the wysiwyg editor anyway. Is there an easy way to get into the regexp filtering of the editor?

    Here’s what i want to do with the wysiwyg editor on, but in html mode:

    <div class="column">
first column
</div>
<div class="column">
second column
</div>

    It turns into something like this after I save and open it again:

    <p class="column">&nbsp;</p>
first column
<p class="column">&nbsp;</p>
second column

    As you can see, this gets serious from a layout point of view. It happens if I open a previous post which is correct and validated.
    I’ve tried to dig into the TinyMCE files, but couldn’t find what I was looking for (yet)
    I’ve also tried posting questions about this here and there. Any hints anyone? (except “turn the wysiwyg editor off”)

    You do realize that this code is invalid markup, right? Div is a block level element which can only contain other block level elements. Straight text is an inline element. You could do something like <div><p>text</p></div> and that would be valid, since P is a block level element which can only contain inline elements.

    I admit that the editor is annoying, but when you feed it bad markup and it tries to fix it, it’s probably going to do it badly.

    Otto, I think somewhere along the way you’ve been misled. His code Is valid code. A Div tag may contain both block and inline elements.
