Help!! This problem is very easy to reproduce (at least on my end).   Even using the SIMPLE.asp example
that comes with the download.

Everything works fine in IE, but in Firefox the editor does not post the changes upon posting when using a javascript submit.   If I use the standard 'submit' button on a form, the editor works fine.   If I use javascript to post the form, the changes are not submitted.   I've tried adding save() methods with no luck as well.

To reproduce it:

Open the SIMPLE.asp file that came with CuteEditor:

Change the existing submit:
 <input type="submit" value="Submit"  ID="Submit1" NAME="Submit1">

To:
  <input type=button name=Submit1 value='Submit' onfocus="save(Editor1);" onclick="document.theForm.submit();" id=Submit1>-->

In FireFox, when you load and save the changes they will not save.  Interestingly, if you back up and save again it captures the changes.

Adam,

The editor version is 4.1; I sent an example in the first post of the problem, the standard 'submit' used in the examples works fine, but I need the capability of calling a form submit through javascript.

To clarify,

* A standard form submit button below the editor does save the changes correctly
* The problem arises using javascript to submit a form with the editor in it; the contents do not save in FireFox

The problem is very easy to reproduce using code in the first post and any of your examples..

Hi,

I ran into the same problem with CuteEditor for PHP version 6.0. I'd like to use Adam's solution 2, because I don't want to have a (hidden) submit button, but I noticed that the function SyncToHidden() is not available in the PHP version. Which function can I use as alternative? Thanks.

Regards,
Jeroen

Adam,

This issue hasn't been completely resolved in version 5.x and 6.x of CuteEditor for PHP. When you type some text and directly click the button to submit the form, still the last part of the text is not submitted. I can reproduce this at http://phphtmledit.com/javascript-submit.php.

I think that the reason of this is that CuteEditor puts its contents only every x seconds in the hidden textarea, I guess with the JavaScript setInterval() function. When one makes a modification and submits between two updates of setInterval(), that last modification is not submitted.

If you don't understand me completely, please let me know so I can give you an example.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Jeroen

Adam,

Because the problem is not solved yet (see my message above), please let me know which alternative for SyncToHidden() I can use in CuteEditor for PHP. Thanks.

Regards,
Jeroen

Adam,

I can reproduce this in Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6.0, Internet Explorer 7.0 and Opera 9.2, all on Windows XP SP2.

Just type something in the area on http://phphtmledit.com/javascript-submit.php and then click the submit button within one second. You'll see that the modifications that were made in the last seconds, are not submitted.

You can also reproduce this at http://phphtmledit.com/JavaScript-API.php. Just type something and you'll see that Test CuteEditor_OnChange is only updated each few seconds, and not directly. I think that the hidden textarea field is updated at the same time that CuteEditor_OnChange is fired.

Jeroen

Adam:

// get the cute editor instance
var editor1 = document.getElementById('Editor1');

editor1.NotifySelectionChange();

'Editor1' should be 'CE_Editor1_ID' when working with CuteEditor for PHP. Unfortunately also with this function still the hidden field isn't updated directly.

I found a workaround myself:

editor1 = document.getElementById('CE_Editor1_ID');
editor1.setHTML( editor1.getHTML() );

However, it would be much better if no custom action would be necessary at all.

Regards,
Jeroen
