In a TextArea form field some users paste in tabular data formatted using tabs (in addition to other text). I want to turn this field into a Rich Text Editor (RTE), but pasting in tabs seems to be a problem in MSIE. I was told by a person that supports one RTE that MSIE automatically turns every tab into a space and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Can anyone confirm that there is no way to paste a tab character into any Rich Text Editor in MSIE? My research into this issue would suggest that this is the case since I tested a dozen RTEs and none of them supported pasting tabs, although I did not find any definitive answer. I also tested the notable Flash, Flex, and Silverlight RTEs and none of those supported tabs either. Why are tabs retained when pasting into a textarea field, but not any RTE? My goal would be to replace tabs with a series of non-breaking spaces using JavaScript. Firefox already does this replacement.
