strong and em tags in firefox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select the text
2. click in the bold or italic button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the <strong> or <em> tags.
I see that apply the tag <span style="font-weight: bold;"> or <span
style="font-style: italic;"> When I have the strong or em tags, the editor
does this:
<strong style="font-weight: bold;">

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
jquery.jwyiwyg.js => 0.3
jquery.js => 1.2.2
S.O. Windows XP with Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14

Please provide any additional information below.

How do you get FF to use strong or em tags? I'm fine with it ending up with a
redundant style tag, since I'm using HTML Purifier to clean up the HTML before
publishing it anyway (highly recommended to avoid XSS flaws).

I tried set brIE as false, but doesn't work. Any reasons ?
Thanks.

Doc: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html
'styleWithCSS' must be false.

Something like this:
.editorDoc.execCommand('styleWithCSS', false, false);

Then you'v got 'b'|'i'|'u' tags =)

OK, so we need to use

            this.editorDoc.execCommand('styleWithCSS', false, false);

Where do we put this line in the code?  I've put it under

            this.editorDoc.contentEditable = 'true';

But it doesn't make any difference.

This is the same issue that 21. And you can find the solution there. If you 
want I can help you make it! And 
ofcourse test it...

According to Matt Cutts’s SEO video on qualities of a good site video, he 
said that
Google treats the bold and strong tag with the same weight-age. Well, if you 
are into
the finer details of the semantics of markup then it is prefer to use 
<"strong"> tag.
On other hand, if you are into minimizing typing time then it is prefer to use 
<"b"> tag.

Any progress in this? I can't imagine it would be hard to get it to use 
<strong> tags
instead of <span...>.

I've got a quick work-around for those looking to get the tags instead of the 
css in
FF. Here is a look at the bold syntax. I basically, just added in the comments 
from
above and its working fine in FF 3.0.15. Love to see it addressed globally.

bold          : { visible : true, tags : ['b'], exec: function(){
        var selection = $(this.editor).documentSelection();
        this.editorDoc.execCommand('styleWithCSS', false, false);
        this.editorDoc.execCommand('bold', false, selection)    
        }

You can add "self.editorDoc.execCommand('styleWithCSS', false, false);" to  
"appendMenu : function( cmd, args, className, fn ){.....}"

        appendMenu : function( cmd, args, className, fn )
        {
            var self = this;
            var args = args || [];

            $('<li></li>').append(
                $('<a><!-- --></a>').addClass(className || cmd)
            ).mousedown(function() {
                if ( fn ) fn.apply(self); 
                else {
                    self.editorDoc.execCommand('styleWithCSS', 
false, false); // ! Execute before all commands
                    self.editorDoc.execCommand(cmd, false, args);
                }
                if ( self.options.autoSave ) self.saveContent();
            }).appendTo( this.panel );
        },
