Question: Here is the config I am using in `tinymce.init` function:

```
forced_root_block: 'p'
valid_elements : '+a[id|rel|rev|charset|hreflang|dir|lang|tabindex|accesskey|type|name|href|target|title],strong/b,-em,i,strike,u,script,p[class|id|dir|align|style],ol,ul,li,br'

```

But the *tinyMCE* is stripping of `<br>`'s when we hit enter key.
Something like this:

```
    <p><br/></p>

```

is getting sent as 

```
    <p></p>

```

Does anyone know why this is happening
I am using **tinyMCE version 3.5.4.1**.

Answer: 
Please check if br elements are registered as valid\_children of paragraphs. Default they should be, but you never know...
In your settings:

```
'remove_trailing_brs': false

```
