problem with FCKEditor with an UpdatePanel

Hello,

I have tried to search for a solution for this issue on other places on the web (including asking on asp.net forums) but couldn't find something which will solve the situation so far.

I use fckeditor in a formview which resides inside an update panel and whenever one of the drop down lists in the formview causes a postback, the content of the fckeditor field is cleared to nothing. If I remove the update panel everything is completely fine but then the page is refreshed on every postback, which is very uncomfortable and time consuming.
I declare the editor instance dynamically in the formview's OnItemCreated event.

Is anyone familiar with this or knows how it can be fixed?

Thank you.

I still have a problem with this. I have FCkEditor and a Submit button in Update Panel. The value of FCKEditor.Value is always "".

Please help.

Re: problem with FCKEditor with an UpdatePanel

I came across this solution in the forums...sorry don't remember the original post but this fixed my problem that sounds similar to what you are experiancing.

Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(
this.FCKeditor1.GetType(),
"editor_fix_script",
"FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('" + FCKeditor1.ClientID + "').UpdateLinkedField();");

hope this helps..
