The output filters are applied to the HTML code rendered by pages. They make various changes to the code before it is sent to the browser. Output filters do not affect the pages of the Kentico CMS administration interface.

 

Form filter

 

The form filter fixes the issue with non-working postbacks on pages that use URL rewriting. It ensures that forms, dialogs and buttons will work correctly on Kentico CMS-managed pages.

 

XHTML filter

 

The XHTML filter fixes certain types of XHTML incompatibilities. It closes unclosed tags, invalid <script> tags, etc.

 

XHTML errors may also be fixed in the WYSIWYG editor when they are saved. This can also be configured globally through the CMSWYSIWYGFixXHTML web.config key (supported values are "true" and "false").

 

Resolve filter

 

The resolve filter changes relative URLs in format ~/mypage1/mypage2.aspx to /application/mypage1/mypage2.aspx (application running in a sub-folder) or /mypage1/mypage2.aspx (if the application is running in the root) to their full version. Only URLs inside src and href attributes are changed.
