Calling my C# or Visual Basic function on Save.

I've looked all over for an answer to this question; maybe I'm missing something, but I can't figure it out...

I'm trying to call my custom C# (or visual basic will work too) function (doDocSave) when a user clicks the "save" button in the FCKeditor toolbar, but I'm not having any luck.

I've tried using javascript in my aspx like so:

 
<script language="javascript">
MyCustomSave()
{
<% doDocSave(); %>
}
</script>

but doing this results in doDocSave() being called everytime the page is loaded, which is definately not desirable. I guess I just dont know enough about ASPX to understand what's going on. Is there a way to do something like "<form name="..." onsubmit="doDocSave()">?

If someone could point me to a good resource to accomplish my task, or maybe provide a snippet, I will be incredibly grateful.

Did you already try to set an onclick in the submit button instead of binding an event onto the form?
For my need, I have replaced the save button with a Prototype Ajax.Request. I may provide the viable source portions if you'd like.

It sounds like using an OnClick property for a submit button would be the best solution, but how do I do that with the FCK's save button?

Thanks for your help!

As far as I know is that the editor does nothing more than triggering the submit button. You could double check this and if this is true you could just intervene with the onclick event.

Re: Calling my C# or Visual Basic function on Save.

There is a Page.IsPostBack property that is only true when the page was submitted.

Give the following a try:

<%
if (Page.IsPostBack) {
    doDocSave();
}
%>
