I am using CuteEditor 6.6.0.0 in an ASP.NET 3.5 web application.  The editor control is being used as a databound control within a FormView.

 It looks like this:

   <CE:Editor ID="contentEditor" runat="Server" Text='<%# Bind("EmailContent") %>'></CE:Editor>

 

It is pulling the correct content into the  control when the form is being bound, but it is not always giving me the updated text back when I try to save it back to the database.  I've noticed that if I switch from 'normal' to 'html' and back, before hitting the 'save' button on my form, then it *does* work.  But otherwise it just gives me the original unedited text back in the .Text property.

 

We are using the control successfully in other projects, but it's just not working in this one.  Any hints or tips about what I might be doing wrong here?

 

Hi ahueyevi,

 

Can you post the code of the editor page? We will check it and get back to you as soon as possible.

The page is part of a large system, so there's going to be a lot of stuff in here that won't make much sense, but here's the aspx file:

OK, I now have the save function working when I run this project on our staging server, which is a Win 2003 machine running (of course) IIS.  It's still not working when I use it within Visual Studio on my local machine.  This project is in VS 2008, using the integrated web server.

 

I'm wondering if there's a a reason that it would work under IIS but not under the VS 2008 integrated web server.

 

Scratch the previous message -- I was using IE 9 when running localling, and Firefox 5 when looking at our staging server.  I've done some more testing, and the problem isn't local vs staging, it's browser version.  The save function does not work in IE 9.  It works fine in Firefox 5 and Chrome 12.  Also, IE 9 in IE 8 mode seems to work OK too.  It's just IE 9.
