Submitting form while in Source mode

We're having this same problem, and need an answer!

If we try to "save" while the editor is in source view, it flashes back to the wysiwyg view (with the changes still showing) then seems to submit, then refresh the entire page ... but now any changes made are gone.

We are also using ColdFusion, but this got set up with the standard iFrame implementation, not the cfModule tag.

Any help out there?

We don't get any errors here but it is really boring to edit HTML on source window then lose everything because we did not change back to WYSIWYG mode so I would like to know if is there any JavaScript call I can use to 'fetch' the objContent.innerHTML property before I read from it?

We're using Cach/CSP, even though I think the above has nothing to do with server-side processing.

I wish I could help, but I don't understand the fckeditor well enough to really follow your question ...
But I'd love to hear the solution if you get one!
Thanks in advance ...

In an onSubmit of the form enclosing the editor, you can set its state back to wysiwyg mode.
/* ...change 'foo' to the name of your editor... */
if(FCKeditorAPI.__Instances.foo.EditMode == FCK_EDITMODE_SOURCE){ FCKeditorAPI.__Instances.foo.SwitchEditMode();
}

Thanks for the suggestion - I finally got some time to try it out, and am having problems!
First, is that supposed to be for v2.0 or for v1.8?
I'm on 1.8. I'm saying that because I'm getting messages like "FCKeditorAPI does not exist" or some such. It may just be in the wrong scope or something?
Also, how do I know what the editor name is - I assume it's the "instanceName"? And do I only replace foo, as in "FCKeditorAPI.__Instances.myInstanceName.EditMode"

Still needing ... HELP! thanks again

there is a simple solution to this problem in the bugs section - "v1.6 Submitting while in source mode" (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... tid=543653)

btw: v1.6 is the latest non beta version (there is no v1.8 and probably never will be). Looking forward to v2 beta 2 next week.
