Disabling my editors doesn't disable them in joomla

Global config is only the recommended default editor for your users.
Each user has a specific editor assignment that overrides global config (if it is set, the default is to use the global config setting).
The plugins determine whether the editor is available at all.
The code is being stripped because even the non-wysiwyg completely empty text area "editor" is php-processed for hacking attempts. To enter javascript use
Jumi http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=jumi

or another custom content add on

Sourcer looked good but it still not working!

If you look there, in the rotating banner you will see there is some text

All of this is constructed within an Article.  But if I put a link for some text, you can see it doesn't show

So I have noticed if I go to the html editor
<p>“Ronin have been really helpful and they use Hand of Sean font for this. I am repeating myself for sake of <a href="../">testing text!</a></p>

The href looks like that above.
If I type in my link it doesn't remain!! It gets stripped out

I'm not sure what you mean. Personally I haven't used sourcerer. I use jumi, mod_php and codepiece.

Well its not php or javascript that is the problem

I cannot add a link in basic html

can you print exactly what you put in the editor for that linked line before it got mangled? (here)?

Righto
Theres the code and heres the page showing it...

So this one isn't stripping the html href...but there is no link in the showcase?

Start over. There are copy and paste errors. Instead of > and < the code has html entities > and <
<div id="article_separator_homepage></div> <input id=" type="hidden"><input
Plus several IDentifiers are defined more than once.
I'm not sure what's being stripped because I haven't seen the original --

If you're adding a link to the editor and get this
<p>“Ronin have been really helpful and they use Hand of Sean font  for this. I am repeating myself for sake of <a href="../">testing  text!</a></p>

maybe it's because it's being pasted incorrectly.

Type the text and highlight the link and use the editor icon for links.

html entities & gt; & lt; << I added spaces after ambersands here so you can see what I mean

Ok you have lost me now...

That code is basically all that is in there  I just removed all this guff, still no link

you're doing this in HTML view tinymce? Literally type angle bracket img src = double-quote images/showcase... ?

You mean hard code it within html view using tinymce.

I am using JCE 1.5.6

And it was hard coded in

Im curious about what you said at first.. maybe I can assign myself NO editor...I still want to be able to have NO editor used?

"I would like to see what happens if you use jce in wysiwyg mode, type the line, highlight it, click the LINK icon, add the URL including http:// and save the article."

You mean the standard way right...have tried...it didn't work.

I just tried disabling my editor too from user manager and still link is getting stipped.
That was my original question so you have solved my question.

Just freakin' cant figure out how to enter in a link ...arrgg

Turn off any mambots that could affect links? Maybe there's one that's mangling them.
Do a preview of the page while in edit mode and do a view source of THAT as opposed to the actual page rendered at run time.

When I view the code there is no href shown in the module at all.

I think this module itself mangles the code!!
