I made a new class XFormIE8 with a static instance. Your onload-override I replaced with CorrectXFormData instead.

public bool IsXFormSaving(HttpRequest request) {
return String.Compare(request.Path, “/edit/EditXForm.aspx”, true)==0 && String.Compare(request.HttpMethod,”POST”,true)==0;
}
public bool IsIE8(HttpRequest request) {
HttpBrowserCapabilities browser = request.Browser;
return browser.Browser == “IE” &&
(browser.MajorVersion == 8 || (browser.MajorVersion == 7 && request.UserAgent.IndexOf(“Trident”)>0));
}

public void CorrectXFormData(HttpRequest request) …

Again, thanks for sharing!

I realize what you meant about the nbsp;. The code plugin for wordpress removed it, and it’s very important that the line is correct otherwise it will cause a crash. I Updated the line now.

The fix proposed in this post is valid for all versions of EPiServer, however, the method of implementing it using a ControlAdapter is only valid for .NET 2.0. If you have a site running 1.1 just use reflector and pull all code from the XForm editor code-behind from EPiServer and create your own code-behind file with the fix in this post.

In CMS 5 you should point the ControlAdapter to EPiServer.UI.Edit.XFormEdit.

I don’t really understand what you mean with the nbsp. Where and why would it be missing? The code on this blog is running perfectly in production.

This seems to fix the issue for 4.x as long as it’s running on .Net 2.0< since the .browser-file is supported from that.

Do you or anyone know how to get this to work for CMS 5? EPiServer.Edit.EditXForm doesn't exist in CMS 5. I would like to use this as a temporary fix before upgrading.

FYI: The replacement of nbsp (I'm guessing that's what it is) is missing from the code posted.

Great work !

FYI: EPiSever Developer Support have already made a hotfix for xForm issue but that only works for cms-4.62. Send a request to support if you want to get hold of that hotfix.
