losing data on submit...

Hello, did you ever figure out what the issue was? It has happened to a number of people around my office but I can not recreate the problem. Thanks Chris

Hello, this is my first post here

I am having this problem as well.

I use FCK editor quite succesfully as a tool in my CMS to update a website. But sometimes when I copy text from another web page and paste into the FCK editor, it shows normaly inside the editor. When I want to submit that text to the database, nothing is submitted. Then I tried to copy and paste part by part of text. Half way through it was ok. Then I came across one paragraph which looked just as any other but when I looked at the generated code, my "copy" function picked some tags as well (<class = "...">). Whenever this happens, the text is not submitted. So every time I use "copy" and "paste" I have to check the HTML code picked by the "copy" and correct it manually. Is there any solution for this?

Hi people I think I found the exact problem after 10 days

If you want to submit the Apostrophe sign ( ' ), FCK editor will not send any data. The $_POST variable after submit will be empty. If you have two of them ( ' ' ) this will work. Any odd number of these will not work. I guess that has something to do with the SQL injection prevent. When I looked in the FCK generated HTML code, the editor didn't convert this sign into a HTML special character but it does with others. The special character for apostrophe is (&#39;). Even when I type this special character code directly in the FCK editor (source button), editor will not save the code for the special character, it will turn it back to a normal apostrophe. There might be other characters that the editor can't deal with but for now I only found this and it's a big relief as now I can update my website without spending days of thinking what's going on.

I hope this helps.

Hi, users of slower machines at the company I work for are consistently getting the same errors. The editor does not load on their PC's. They get multiple JavaScript errors like FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath.length is null or not an object; PluginsPath is null or not an object; FCKConfig.ContextMenu.length is null or not an object; undefinted is null or not an object. Then if they save, the previous value becomes a null.

I am not able to replicate the error on my PC, so it's a frustrating exercise.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Users are using IE6. We are on version 2.6.3 of the fckeditor.

I have having the same problem of data being lost when i submit data and there is an apostrophe in the data anywhere.

can anyone tell me how to solve this problem

You could save

&#39;

to represent a single apostrophe, not the apostrophe character itself.

Modern browsers will display it as an apostrophe on the page.

Thanks for the advice dtleahy

I am saving large amout of data at a time that will need editing from time to time. Even if i use &#39: instead of an apostrophe to submit my data to the database when i try to edit the saved data with fckeditor it reads the &#39; as an apostrophe and you cannot save it again.

I found this encoding in a file named fckeditor.js

many other files also have replace clauses i'll try to edit them to include apostrophe and get back to you guys if you have any suggestion, will appreciate it

FCKeditor.prototype._HTMLEncode = function( text )
{
if ( typeof( text ) != "string" )
text = text.toString() ;

text = text.replace(
/&/g, "&amp;").replace(
/"/g, "&quot;").replace(
/</g, "&lt;").replace(
/>/g, "&gt;") ;

return text ;
}
