Hello I am kind of new to ultradev, and I am trying to use the PD HTML Editor to update articles, but I am running to some problems.
When a user clicks on the save Icon, an onClick event is executed that calls the javascript function onFormSubmit();It says in the directions to edit the form's action attribute to point to a URL of a cgi or script file that will handle the actual handling of the data. What exatly does this mean? Right now my forms action is "<%=MM_editAction%>" What would i need to change this to? Also, It will effect the rest of my form, so what do i do with all the MM_editAction parts of the document.

Please check this tutorial: www.UDzone.com/go?742

I reviewed the tutorial many times, but was unable to find what to do about updating the action. All it says is "When the user clicks on the Save Icon on the PD Online HTML Editor the form is submitted and the record updated.

Thats all there is to it, you know have a fully functioning HTML aware editing solution."

I am trying to get the form submission to work.

Build your form and then manually copy the code OnSubmit="copyValue()"

<form name="Edit" method="POST" action="ind.asp" onSubmit="copyValue()">

<input type="hidden" name="act" value="<%=act%>">
<input type="hidden" name="subarticleid" value="<%= subarticleid %>">
</form>

Now on the form when in ud remove the save function and the button, new function and the button and any other item you will not be requiring.

Thats all to it.

alternatively. u can do this.

set the action of the form to any server side language , preferably, asp.

and in that script call this
Request.Form("EditorValue".

the editor value is the hidden text area in the html editor.
so whenever someone clicks on the save, a message will popup , asking him whether he wants to save or not and then also save the particular contents and then redirect him/her to a page of ur choice.
this is what i am doing now.
