18446,Widget removes fields w/ default HTML on initial save in IE8 and 9,layotte,,"Weird problem, testd in IE8/9, Chrome, and Firefox. If you have a widget, with HTML in the default value, IE8/9 will remove the field entirely. However, if you then paste the HTML back into the field and save, it works fine. This ONLY happens after the initial drag/drop then save of the widget. It even happens if you drag/drop the widget, change the field and click save.

Example Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ft-calendar/
Widget: Upcoming Events Widget

The Event Template (event_template) is set by default to: 
{{{
<a href=""%URL"">%TITLE%</a>
}}}

The event_template  source for the Available Widget is:
{{{
<input type=""text"" value=""&lt;a href=&quot;%URL%&quot;&gt;%TITLE% (%TIME%)&lt;/a&gt;"" name=""widget-ft_cal_event_list[__i__][event_template]"" id=""widget-ft_cal_event_list-__i__-event_template"" class=""widefat"" />  
}}}
 
The event_template source for the widget after it is dragged to a widget area is:
{{{
<input type=""text"" value=""&lt;a href=&quot;%URL%&quot;&gt;%TITLE% (%TIME%)&lt;/a&gt;"" name=""widget-ft_cal_event_list[8][event_template]"" id=""widget-ft_cal_event_list-8-event_template"" class=""widefat"" /> 
}}}

The source for the widget after it is first saved is:
{{{
<input type=""text"" value=""&lt;a href=&quot;%URL%&quot;&gt;%TITLE% (%TIME%)&lt;/a&gt;"" name=""widget-ft_cal_event_list[8][event_template]"" id=""widget-ft_cal_event_list-8-event_template"" class=""widefat"" />
}}}

I setup a test to output $new_instance and $old_instance during the ""update"" process.

Step 1: Moving widget from Available Widgets to Widget Area (in IE):
{{{
NEW INSTANCE:
Array
(
    [title] =>
    [date] =>
    [number_of] => 1
    [date_types] => Month
    [limit] => 0
    [timeformat] => g:i a
    [dateformat] => jS
    [date_template] => %DATE%
    [monthformat] => F Y
    [month_template] => %MONTH%
)
OLD INSTANCE:
Array
(
)
}}}

Step 2: Saving widget in Widget Area:
{{{
NEW INSTANCE:
Array
(
    [title] =>
    [date] =>
    [number_of] => 1
    [date_types] => Month
    [limit] => 0
    [timeformat] => g:i a
    [dateformat] => jS
    [date_template] => %DATE%
    [monthformat] => F Y
    [month_template] => %MONTH%
)
OLD INSTANCE:
Array
(
    [title] =>
    [show_rss_feed] => off
    [show_ical_feed] => off
    [date] =>
    [span] => +1 Month
    [number_of] => 1
    [date_types] => Month
    [calendars] =>
    [limit] => 0
    [dateformat] => jS
    [timeformat] => g:i a
    [monthformat] => F Y
    [event_template] =>
    [date_template] => %DATE%
    [month_template] => %MONTH%
    [hide_duplicates] =>
)
}}}

Step 3: Pasting HTML code back into Event Template and saving Widget:
{{{
NEW INSTANCE:
Array
(
    [title] =>
    [date] =>
    [number_of] => 1
    [date_types] => Month
    [limit] => 0
    [timeformat] => g:i a
    [dateformat] => jS
    [date_template] => %DATE%
    [monthformat] => F Y
    [month_template] => %MONTH%
    [event_template] => <a href=""%URL%"">%TITLE% (%TIME%)</a>
)
OLD INSTANCE:
Array
(
    [title] =>
    [show_rss_feed] => off
    [show_ical_feed] => off
    [date] =>
    [span] => +1 Month
    [number_of] => 1
    [date_types] => Month
    [calendars] =>
    [limit] => 0
    [dateformat] => jS
    [timeformat] => g:i a
    [monthformat] => F Y
    [event_template] =>
    [date_template] => %DATE%
    [month_template] => %MONTH%
    [hide_duplicates] =>
)
}}}
