Hello again Marketo Nation,
We have found some strange behavior with Rich Text Tokens, that we would like to get a better understanding of, and that might be of interest to you too! 😀
More specifically, we found that including more than one html element, in the rich text token's value, triggers the output of html placed outside of its container, on a landing page.
Scenario #1
The landing page markup:
<div
id="mktoHook-Hero__headings"
class="mktoText Hero__headings ..."
mktoName="Hero__headings">
<p class="...">{{my.CON TokenName}}</p>
<h1 class="...">{{...}}</h1>
</div>
The rich text token:
<p>foo</p>
The output on landing page (note the exclusion of any additional p-tag around 'foo'):
<div
id="mktoHook-Hero__headings"
class="mktoText Hero__headings ...">
<p class="Hero__preHeading">foo</p>
</div>
So far so good, nothing strange in scenario #1.
But if we add another paragraph to the rich text token, strange things happen...
Scenario #2
The rich text token:
<p>foo</p>
<p>bar</p>
The output on landing page (note the inclusion of p-tags and the placement of the tokens-value outside of container):
<div
id="mktoHook-Hero__headings"
class="mktoText Hero__headings ...">
<p class="Hero__preHeading"></p>
<p>foo</p>
<p>bar</p>
<p></p>
</div>
The mystery
Adding more than one html-tag (in the examples, it's another p-tag) triggers:
- The inclusion of html tags
- The tokens value is placed outside of the container
- A third trailing p-tag (the last p-tag in the above example)
So, why does more than one html element trigger html placed outside of container on landing pages?
I will post a similar question to marketo-support, and I will make sure to update this nation-post when they have replied, for future Googlers.
This question is specifically related to landing pages. But we did find a similar issue on the emails:
https://nation.marketo.com/t5/Product-Discussions/Rich-Text-Token-Why-does-more-than-one-html-elemen...
Note:
- The root block elements settings are set to none, for 'Email / Snippet Editor' and 'Landing Page Editor'.
Any help/clarification would be much appreciated!
Best,
ernie
