Adding Span option to the format block

james_bell · 2010-01-08 11:54:38

I am trying to add the a span option to the format block, but it isn't working. The option is showing up in the menu but not doing anything when I choose it.

Here is the code I am using [inside a settings file]

xinha_config.formatblock = {
    "&mdash; format &mdash;"  : "",
    "Heading 2": "h2",
    "Heading 3": "h3",
    "Heading 4": "h4",
    "Heading 5": "h5",
    "Heading 6": "h6",
    "Normal"   : "p",
    "Span"       : "span",
    "Address"  : "address",
    "Formatted": "pre"
  };

Everything else is working fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Span is not a block element, you can't do it.

Is there any way of getting round this??

Not using format block. It's built into browsers, it only understands block elements.

Look through the plugins, maybe something there, or create your own to wrap the appropriate span.

Could you give me a list of all the cross browser supported block elements for xihna.

Thanks for your help.

All block elements are supported to my knowledge. Refer HTML specifications.

Last thing, I have tried to use blockquote but it only seems to work in Firefox and not Internet Explorer. Any ideas?

Blockquote is probably only handled by the indent/outdent function in IE I suspect. This is all behaviour defined within the web browser itself.
