need help with custom save command

Having a similar problem... (fck documentation isn't good enough yet...)

My first attempt to solve this was to write a onsubmit function for the form containing fckeditor together with FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance (or smthing similar) - this works as a simple solution.

Secondly, I wrote a new plugin for SaveAs/Open (custom filebrowser) adding a new button to the toolbar. Documentation on how to do this actually exists and is pretty good and easy to follow, just copy and paste .
At the moment I am trying to find a way to execute a toolbar command from my script.
Do anyone know how to do that...

Here's the pointer you asked for...

... In the form
<form method="POST" name="FCKeditor1" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/fckconnector.pl?FileUpload" OnSubmit="return MyCustomSave()">

...The javascript function
function MyCustomSave(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('FCKeditor1');
oEditor.ExecuteNamedCommand('SaveAs', 'filename.html');
return false;
}


This will open up a saveas dialog (in IE anyway) but I am not sure how to save the edited content.
This at least saves the content of the initial value set in the form(on my IE at least)
Don't bother setting the value with the GetHTML function - it dont do the work for me...

Heres an idea though
- Maybe you could open a new window with a appropriate Content-type and hopefully the browser asks you to download !? .... just another stupid idea...

Well - I sorta needed this kind of function myself so. here you go...

This function should be called from onsubmit in your form-tag like. (could be called anyway you like though)
<form name="..." onsubmit="return MyCustomSave()">
...</form>

function MyCustomSave(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('FCKeditor1');
var oWin = window.open('','_blank', 'left=0,top=0,width=600,height=600,scrollbars=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0,status=0,directories=0,location=0,resizable=1');
oWin.document.write(oEditor.GetHTML(true));
oWin.document.execCommand('SaveAs', true,'Filename');
oWin.close();
return false;
}


Please, if you have the opportunity, try this with both netscape, IE and such - so far I have tested it on my local dev-machineIE6.

Also. The function doesn't save the complete document with headers and such... needs s little work.

You can't force a "save as" with any browser other than IE. You CAN set the content-disposition if you are using a server-side technology, but not with plain old javascript.

If you want headers and such, try using a normal, blank html page in the popup, and setting the document.body.innerHTML to the content of the editor.

Or put it in an href and tell the user to do a right-click, "save as".
