Easy way to get FCKEditor to work inside an ASP.Net AJAX UpdatePanel
By Josh | March 30, 2007
The Problem

I had a MultiLine TextBox inside an UpdatePanel and I wanted that TextBox to have rich editing capabilities so I chose FCKEditor. But, now when I do a partial PostBack, the TextBox doesnt retain it value.
An Initial Solution

So, I searched for a solution to this problem and found this post, but it seemed like more of a hack than I prefer.

A More Elegant Solution

As it turns out, there is a much simpler way hinted at in the FCKEditor wiki:

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(
editor.GetType(),
"editor",
"FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('" + editor.ClientID + "').UpdateLinkedField();");
}

If you have multiple FCKEditors, you need to apply this solution to each one:

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(
editor1.GetType(),
"editor1",
"FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('" + editor1.ClientID + "').UpdateLinkedField();");

Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(
editor2.GetType(),
"editor2",
"FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('" + editor2.ClientID + "').UpdateLinkedField();");
}

One Small Problem

There is one small issue with this solution, however—there will be JavaScript errors if you hide the TextBox during a partial PostBack.

For example, if you have a three step form: edit, review, and then publish. On the edit step the TextBox is shown and you enter and style your rich text, then you click the review button and this causes a partial PostBack which removed the TextBox and shows a preview of the text you enterred. When you click the publish button there will be a JavaScript error because the Textbox is no longer visible.
The Final Solution

To solve this problem and come to an elegant, working solution I just needed to add in some basic error checking. Since the JavaScript was getting a little more complex, I decided to move the main work into a .js file:

function FCKUpdateLinkedField(id)
{
try
{
if(typeof(FCKeditorAPI) == "object")
{
FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(id).UpdateLinkedField();
}
}
catch(err)
{
}
}

And the page code now looks like:

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(
editor.GetType(),
"editor",
"FCKUpdateLinkedField('" + editor.ClientID + "');");
}
