There have not been any CKEditor updates in behavior between the environments that you are on and the current release, so I would not expect to see any changes in behavior. It is possible you could try to modify settings in the CKEditor to limit what is being done, but I would need to do further research to see why |

This issue is with the default editor CKEditor, you can read the documentation to configure it to allow the A tag to wrap other tags. |

We recently had our website transition from EVOQ to DNN Community 9.10.02, with an additional testing environment for upgrade at 9.13.4. While editing webpages, I noticed at times that markup I had previously checked as working was no longer. I realized that the markup under the specific condition of
<a>
elements surrounding block level elements like<div>
and<p>
were being rewritten, either reversing positions, duplicating, or even triplicating itself. This bug will trigger the next time the editor is accessed.From what I’ve read and an HTML validator I consulted, HTML 5 should allow an anchor element to surround a block.
To recreate this potential bug:
<a><div><p>Test</p></div></a>
<div><p><a>Test</a></p></div>
In other cases, the (for example purposes, markup reduced), we saw
<a><div><p>Test</p></div></a>
turn into<a></a><div><p>Test</p></div><a></a>
or<a></a><div><p><a>Test</a></p></div><a></a>
.Since we are not currently running the latest release, I opened a discussion here as requested. Could someone test in 9.13.6 to confirm if this bug is present?
Thank you for your time,
-Brett
