Read value from editor with JavaScript

hello chris,

i have the same problem... have you managed to solve it?

thanks

This did it for me, where "field" is the instance name that you pass to the editor:

function clear_editor(field){
editor = document.frames["iframe_"+field].document.getElementById("objContent")
editor.DOM.body.innerHTML = "";
}

editor.getHTML();

think I found it:

FCKeditorAPI.__Instances[YOUR EDITOR NAME].GetHTML()

on firefox:
window.frames['FCKeditor1___Frame'].frames['eEditorArea'].document.body.innerHTML

worked.

I tried editor.getHTML(); no success.

the method is .GetHtml()
be careful about the letter case

I can offer yet another spelling: In fck1.js, the function is defined as GetHTML(), but this is an attribute of class FCK, not of FCKeditor, so you would call it as

editor.FCK.GetHTML()

this finally worked for me:

var theHTMLcontent = frames['FCKeditor1___Frame'].frames['eEditorArea'].document.body.innerHTML

hope it helps anyone that had my problem!!

thank you arwf197 !!
I solve it..

var theHTMLcontent = frames['FCKeditor1___Frame'].frames['eEditorArea'].document.body.innerHTML

FCKeditor1 is editor object!!

previeos decleare..

var var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'FCKeditor1' ) ;

Please, don't do it that way or you'll have lots of problems as soon as the user puts any special code that it is internally transformed.

Use this code:

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance( "FCKeditor1" ) ;
// Get the editor contents as XHTML. GetXHTML
var sContent= oEditor.GetXHTML( true ) ; // "true" means you want it formatted.
