[AllowedTypes] of Xhtml field

Vote:
 

We added the AllowedTypes attribute to an Xhtml field to limit the different kind of block that are allowed in the mainbody area.

[AllowedTypes(new[] { typeof(LinkBlock), typeof(TextBlock) })]
public virtual XhtmlString MainBody { get; set; }

After that we experienced all kinds of weird behavior. We were not longer able to 'drag n drop' in blocks (not even the allowed types) to the mainbody area. Sometimes the mainbody area was emptied when trying.

Anyone experienced the same thing? Is the AllowedType attribute compatible with XhtmlString?

For me it works fine in IE, but it doesn't work so well in Google Chrome.
For example, when using Google Chrome, I have to click on XHTML field first, and only then drag&drop the block.
I don't have to do that in IE.

I also noticed that sometimes drag&drop validation is not triggered, so I have to use custom IValidate<PageData> validator.

Yes, misread the question :)
Content doesn't disappear, just the blue border around all input fields in Chrome and FF.
