Editor in Form and Submit Button

can you please show that bunch of code with the form ?

I have a similiar problem with mozilla (firefox 0.9). Can't test it with the IE in the moment (linux).

If I use the submit button of the form, only the "old" input parameter get's submitted ("test" in the example beneath) and not the newly entered text. If I use the save button of the editor, the new value gets submitted. Find the form code attached:

<form method="post" name="Form0" action="/AppTest/app">

<div><input type="hidden" id="$FCKeditor" name="$FCKeditor" value="test">
<input type="hidden" id="$FCKeditor___Config" value="Toolbar=Default">
<iframe id="$FCKeditor___Frame" src="/AppTest/FCKeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=$FCKeditor" width="100%" height="200" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the good work!

Hi,

As a side note, this only happens to me with old gecko engines (firefox 0.8). With newer (firefox 0.9) it submits, but the content of the editor is lost.

Also, if the XHTML mode for the editor is disabled there is no problem and submits well.

This is exactly the thing i was refering to in my post which is only 1 or 2 before this one. Weird that noone can reply to that one...

I have the newest mozilla and using a normal submit button doesn't give an error but also doesn't save the editors changes. Changes of other fields get saved. Save button of the editor saves both the changes in the editor as well as all other fields.

Is there no list of the public properties and methods for the editor object.

I was thinking I could use a regular button and onclick have javascript call the editor's save method, if I could find what it's called!

Until then I'll just instruct my users to use the editors save button instead, and hide the form's submit button.

Here's what I did:

I created a hidden field where I put the value of the editor with this script executed on onSubmit() of the form:

function updateHtml() {
htmlValue = FCKeditorAPI.__Instances.html.GetHTML();

document.getElementById("HtmlValue").value = htmlValue;
}

Hope this help!

Just for crarify my previous post:

function updateHtml() {
htmlValue = FCKeditorAPI.__Instances.html.GetHTML();

document.getElementById("HtmlValue").value = htmlValue;
}

...__Instances.html...

"html" is the id og the editor (used in constructor)

...getElementById("HtmlValue")...

"HtmlValue" if the name of the hidden field.

Good luck!

There is a bug in the FCKXHtml.GetXHTML function. I get "sXHTML has no properties" in the JavaScript console. Doing FCKXHtml.GetXHTML=function(node){return FCK.GetHTML(node);}; is a dirty hack, but it makes the submit work correctly.

Adding oFCKeditor.Config['EnableXHTML'] = false ;
fixed the Submit button/update problem for me, along a with a number of other bugs... (However, the actual Save button still does nothing -- any ideas?)

I have the same problem. nothing from my form gets emailed. I do not get any errors in either firefox or IE 7 though. I don't quite understand what you guys are saying though. Where can I change or add these settings you are talking about? Please be a little more specific if you could. I need to get this working for a clients website.

Thanks,
Michael

Take out the submit button and use your own!
