Inline JavaScript being removed when switching views | ww.wp.xz.cn

I don’t recall this happening before with this widget. Recently when I add inline JavaScript to a link like:

<a href="#" onclick="doSomething(); return false;">Click Here</a>

The inline Javascript is removed when switching to Visual view. After switching from Visual view back to Text view, the link now looks like:

<a href="#">Click Here</a>

Is this a bug or is the inline Javascript being removed on purpose?

This is not depending on our plugin, you may verify that the same thing happens when editing posts/pages. It depends on the TinyMCE configuration, which by default doesn’t consider valid the onclick attribute, so it strips it. It’s possible that on previous versions of WordPress/TinyMCE the behavior was different.
You may alter the default behavior using custom code with the tiny_mce_before_init filter or with a specific plugin like Advanced TinyMCE Configuration (I did not test it).
See also TinyMCE documentation on valid_elements parameter for details.

I get it now. I was able to use the Advanced TinyMCE Configuration plugin to add extended_valid_elements parameters and stop the “onclick” from being stripped. Thanks for the help!
