TinyMCE Line Returns in Internet Explorer

Question

When editing text with the tinyMCE editor in Internet Explorer, if I add additional blank lines between paragraphs, the following HTML code is generated by tinyMCE:

<p>..</p>..<p>..</p>

The setter in my Struts 1 ActionForm reports receiving the following string:

<p>Â </p><p>Â </p>

This problem does not occur in Firefox, but only with IE 8.

Does anyone have any suggestions about why the tinyMCE editor is not correctly posting line returns with IE 8 and Struts 1?

Answer 1

Workaround: Add server-side code to remove "Â" characters from the input string.
