When my page updates a record in the database, the new text in the editor is not updated unless I press buttons on the editor itself (like switch to HTML view). I have tested and re-tested, but get the same error. I have tested using Macromedia's Update Record server behavior and tested using an updateable recordset. It is not the update where the problem lies. I added a button on the page which displays the content of the editor in a Javascript alert, and it shows that the new text is not seen until I press buttons on the editor or click in and out of the editor several times.

Is there a fix for this?

Hi Ben,

Are you using the latest version available at www.dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=6999

Also what browser are you using?

Did you choose an initial value for your editor of the recordset with the right database field?

Greetings,
George

I have the latest version of the Advanced HTML Editor 2 and I am using IE6 w/ SP2. The initial value of the database field is correct. You can see an example of this problem at www.leifferassociates.com/dynamic/jobs/editJob.asp?JobID=13. When the page finishes loading, I can type something in the HTML editor and press the "Testing Button" and the new text is not there. The same is true with submitting the update.

Hi Ben,

I checked your site and the version on your site is 2.03

So it isn't the latest version (it is 2.04.2) . You can see the the ScritpLibrary/advHTMLEdit.js

Please download the latest, remove first the previous completely and then install the new version.
Make a small change to your page and save it - you should see that the files are updated and upload the new ones.

I have updated the files. I removed all the existing files and references before updating. I am having the same problem. Please, take another look at the example page in the previous post. It is not updating unless I click a button on the editor or click in and out of the editor several times.

I did test it in FireFox and it works fine... it is just in IE 6 that I am having the problem.

do you have a live url where I can test?

Test this at :

www.leifferassociates.com/dynamic/jobs/editJob.asp?JobID=14

Works fine with firefox... problem is with IE 6

Hi Ben,

This was a bit difficult to track - after a few long hours I discovered that you are not using a standard submit button but form.submit() to submit your form...

Well this function indeed submits your form but it does not execute any scripts that are defined on the onsubmit handler.

So your form validation as well the copy of the html contents to the hidden text field that is used to update your database do not get executed this way...

So the best solution for you is the make the submit button real type="submit" and get rid of the form.submit() function on it.

...or just before you call the form.submit() action call "dmx_f13('myeditorfieldname')", eg:

onclick="dmx_f13('fldContent');form.submit();"

I use this myself, since I require client-side form validation on other fields then the editor, which take place just before the submit

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
80% of the requirements take 20% of the time to develop...

Thanks. That did fix the problem. Calling the dmx_f13('fldContent'); did fix the problem when using document.form.submit().

Hi Ben,

Sorry starting ver 2.07 we have another js compressor so dmx_f13 is called as it is originally:

dmxedit_filterOutput

It has the same parameter.
Sorry for the inconvenience

George

Seems that it changed again... it is now back to "dmxedit_getHTML"

dmxedit_filterOutput works fine here atm (AHE v. 2.0.10)

Thank you for posting this fix

.........Seems that it changed again... it is now back to "dmxedit_getHTML"

I had the same issue and that fixed it.
