Can't post with strikethru text

I just tried to post a message where I tried to use strikethru text and it kept throwing the "html removed, please review the changes" error message.  Using the most recent version of chrome if that matters.

 

Testing can I edit the post.

 

Just tried to make the word Testing strikethru and got the message:

 

"Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."

 

So it's broken.

Testing to see if I can post strike-through text. Nope.

 

Happening for me, too.

Looking into this, thanks for the heads-up!

Adding a "me too" at the end here.

 

Not working in Silk or Chrome for Android.

 

I did notice something ... before the "invalid HTML" error pops up, Silk will sometimes flash the HTML version of the post up for a second.

 

It shows that the strikethrough code is being set as a <span></span> ... whatever formatting code is within that span is being removed ... probably <strike>

 

<strike></strike> has been deprecated ... And obsoleted in HTML5 ... which may be causing issues in some browsers.

 

The markup tag should be <s></s>

I was going to protest when I saw HTML5, but did some quick testing, and determined that even Firefox 2.0 supports <s></s> - therefore that change wouldn't obsolete browsers like FF31 (that I use)  so nevermind 🙂

 

I tried to use the forum strikethrough feature on your text above to check again - it's still broken.

testing to capture code

 

strike

 

#edited after error# Although it removes it ... the below shows that the strikethrough icon is inserting <strike></strike>

 

 

<body id="tinymce" class="mce-content-body lia-message-editor" data-id="tinyMceEditor" contenteditable="true" aria-label="Body">

<p>testing to capture code</p>

<p><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p>

<p><strike>strike</strike></p>

</body>
