HTML rendering in Internet Explorer used in WYSIWYGs

Anyone know about this and how to find/modify it?

[benlieb]

Several wysiwygs have told me that they rely on a client-side renderer built into IE and they have no control over what the wysiwyg does to change the source code.

I want to change that renderer because it's driving me crazy. Anyone know about this?

could you re-phrase this question?

[benlieb]

How about this way:

There is a "thing" that controls whether the wysiwyg editor writes one of the following html options when you press "enter" on your keyboard:

<p>&nbsp</p>
<div>&nbsp</div>
<br>
<br />

This same things decides to reformat your pre-existing html by rearanging it, adding to it and taking away from it. In my case it happens to be adding html body title and head tags to php files, thus driving me crazy.

In my experience this "thing" resides on the client computer, as I've been told this by various wysiwyg editors.

So the question I have are:

what is this thing?
is it modifiable?
how do I get to it?

How's that?
