Jquery, PHP

Hello,

I have my FCKeditor opening using the jquery method.

Im having trouble getting the info out though.

I have other text inputs, text areas and hidden value in my form that are being passed through ok, but not sure how to get the fckeditor info out.

The data is being stored in a database from a backend using jquery and php.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Rob

Re: Jquery, PHP

Hey, i have the same. U cant use any jQuery methods to get the data from FCKeditor cause it has its own:

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance ( "id of the form textarea" );
editorValue = oEditor.GetXHTML ( true );

I hope this is what you wanted

Thanks Ragnarecek,

Using this, im able to get something passed through and into the database, but its not my text from the editor, its:

[object HTMLTextAreaElement]

I am getting this when im using the php based editor and also with the js based editor...

Any thoughts?

I just got it working,

I used

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance ( "news_content" );
var news_content = oEditor.GetXHTML ( true );

Its now passing the content from fckeditor into my jquery and ready to be put into my MYSQL Database by PHP

Re: Jquery, PHP

I just had to add the var before the oEditor.GetXHTML ( true );

var news_content = oEditor.GetXHTML ( true );

Im new to the whole javascript and jquery stuff, so im still grasping how to build the code properly

Thanks for your help though, it seemed to do the trick!
