Static block slider issue

Question

I have a slider on this website: https://sportinngerritsen.nl/ and I'm trying to make it editable for the user through static blocks, but when I do this, it displays the slider like this: http://sportinn.portalserver.nl/.

I noticed that when I add the following HTML that is needed for the slider to the static block:

<div id="slider_wrapper">
<div id="slider_wrapper_inner">
 <div id="slider">
 <div id="feature_list">
 <ul id="tabs">
 <li>
 <a href="javascript:;" class="current">
 <h1>Bespanmachine nodig</h1>
 </a>
 </li>
 <li>
 <a href="javascript:;" class="">
 <h1>De badminton collectie</h1>
 </a>
 </li>
 <li>
 <a href="javascript:;" class="">
 <h1>Tennissnaren</h1>
 </a>
 </li>
 </ul>
 <ul id="output">
 <li style="display: list-item;"><img src="http://sportinn.portalserver.nl/skin/frontend/default/sportinn/afb/catalog/slider/bespanmachines.jpg"></li>
 <li style="display: none;"><img src="http://sportinn.portalserver.nl/media/wysiwyg/badminton-home2.jpg"></li>
 <li style="display: none;"><img src="http://sportinn.portalserver.nl/media/wysiwyg/tennissnaren-home5.jpg"></li>
 </ul>
 </div>
 </div>
</div>

It automatically changes it to this after I updated the HTML:

<div id="slider_wrapper">
 <div id="slider_wrapper_inner">
 <div id="slider">
 <div id="feature_list">
 <ul id="tabs">
 <li>
 <h1>Bespanmachine nodig</h1>
 </li>
 <li>
 <h1>De badminton collectie</h1>
 </li>
 <li>
 <h1>Tennissnaren</h1>
 </li>
 </ul>
 <ul id="output">
 <li style="display: list-item;"><img alt="" src="http://sportinn.portalserver.nl/skin/frontend/default/sportinn/afb/catalog/slider/bespanmachines.jpg" /></li>
 <li style="display: none;"><img alt="" src="http://sportinn.portalserver.nl/media/wysiwyg/badminton-home2.jpg" /></li>
 <li style="display: none;"><img alt="" src="http://sportinn.portalserver.nl/media/wysiwyg/tennissnaren-home5.jpg" /></li>
 </ul>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
</div>

Hence, it removes the <a href="javascript:;". Does anyone know why this works when I paste it in page.phtml but doesn't when I use it in a static block? I recently updated from 1.6.2 to 1.9.2.1 and it did work before the update.

I guess the editor doesn't consider the html as valid and removes the a tag.
you can try to paste this after you disable the editor. or you can just use href="#".

• user3478148: I see, thank you! I didn't know I could disable the editor, but this fixed it. Thanks again!
