Ryan wonders why this code is there. The JCE editor placed it. Why if the code is right? What is wrong here and why is the HTML code not working within {source}. Our programmer sais it works on other sites

If you switch to "No Editor" then correct the code and save the content, is the code still commented?

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Yes, with editor state 'off' the code is still commented out

This confirms that JCE is not commenting out the code, but that it is being done by another extension. Do you have any "security" extensions installed, eg: RS Firewall or Admin Tools, or something similar?

The Joomla Tinymce editor comments out the PHP tags, not JCE:

Oke but I am using JCE. Wat can I do about it?

You said earlier that this still happens when you sitch to "No Editor" in the Joomla Global Configuration?
So the code is being changed only when you save?

Yes when saving in code screen. When switchig to editot screen and then saving the php code remains in order

As a workaround for this, go to Editor Profiles -> Plugin Parameters -> Code Editor, and set Validate Content to No.

Thank you Ryan. A few days before we found another workaround that works: The workaround is: {source raw="true"} Now only the code within {source} is not validated.
