WYSIWYG Element Validation Dialog

When contributors work in the Contributor application, they are generally free to add whatever text, graphics, and other content they like. As a designer, however, your goal may be to enforce consistency, especially formatting consistency, from one web page to another. You may also want to keep the content to a minimum on a particular page. You can enforce such standards with element validation (available in the WYSIWYG Element dialog).

Element	Description
Use default validation	Uses the default validation options provided by Site Studio. Choose from the following: min: Enforces a minimum amount of text (in characters). max: Enforces a maximum amount of text (in characters). Disallowed characters: Prevents contributors from using the characters that you specify here. Allow line breaks <br>: When checked, contributors can create a line break (soft return), which is usually done by pressing SHIFT + ENTER on the keyboard. Allow paragraphs <p>: When checked, contributors can create a paragraph (hard return), which is usually done by pressing ENTER on the keyboard. Allow images <img>: When checked, contributors can add images.
Use external validation	Uses an external validation script that you provide. Settings: Opens the Advanced Element validation dialog (see Advanced Element Validation Dialog), where you can enter the values from your script.
OK	Saves your settings and closes the WYSIWYG Element Validation dialog.
