SOLVED Problem with FCKeditor: Changed content is not passed

My guess is that you somehow have your edit area outside of whatever form you think it's in, though it's a bit hard to tell.

Add the following at the beginning of your onclick:

var e = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('ObdelavaNova'); e.UpdateLinkedField();

That should update the linked form field before the form is submitted.

(This may vary by browser or other situations - I don't claim to be an FCK internals guru by any stretch of the imagination...)

The Google Form.serialize() function essentially copies current form data into a buffer for submission - I do similar things within the web application I develop... Because the editor area content may not be synchronized to the form, the Form.serialize() function misses the most recent editor updates and instead retrieves the original editor area value as stored in the editor's hidden form element.

The code snippet I posted first retrieves the FCKeditor instance, then tells it to update the form field (UpdateLinkedField()) with the current contents of the editor.
