<DIV><SPAN class=632552713-08082008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got a container
element which holds a string of user defined HTML. I'm planning
on swapping the contents in and out using TinyMCE but I'm running into
a problem.<BR></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=632552713-08082008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Click the large
chunk of text on the right and you'll get an alert box containing the HTML in
the #couponText element. Then you should see the TinyMCE box. Make any changes
you like (they won't get saved), then click Save. Next you'll get the HTML
string extracted from TinyMCE using the built in API for
TinyMCE:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=632552713-08082008><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=632552713-08082008><FONT face=Arial
size=2>tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent()</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=632552713-08082008><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=632552713-08082008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then, another alert
box containing a "cleaned up" string (nothing much there yet). The main problem
is that TinyMCE appears to be adding extra HTML to the string which is really
messing up the text in the container. Even if you don't make ANY changes,
TinyMCE screws with the HTML.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

have any ideas on how I might be able to get around this issue?</SPAN><SPAN
