[jQuery] Re: Validate() and TinyMCE problem
Ideally...
OR, the FCK plugin could integrate itself to the others the same way I
integrate it with the Form plugin. But since we're talking about mix-
matching plugins, this would require some feedback from the plugins'
authors...
eg.:
// find existing method to override
if($.fn.ajaxSubmit){
// archive the method
$.fn.ajaxSubmit_ = $.fn.ajaxSubmit;
// override the method
$.fn.ajaxSubmit = function(){
// do this plugin's stuff
$.FCK(1); // update html
// call original method
$.fn.ajaxSubmit_.apply(this, arguments);
// don't break the chain...
return $(this);
};
};

Looks good. It wouldn't hurt to provide explicit methods for init and
update.
For integration with validation the validation plugin could check for
$.FCK and call it to update before validating a form, right?

[jQuery] Re: Validate() and TinyMCE problem
In simple terms, you need to move the content from the TinyMCE
control to the textarea for validation.
$('button.save').click(function(){
if (tinyMCE) tinyMCE.triggerSave();
});

[jQuery] Re: Validate() and TinyMCE problem
That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks Buchs. In my case it was the
below, just before I call validate();
$('#admin-jobs .submit').click(function(){
if (tinyMCE){ tinyMCE.triggerSave(); }
});
I don't know if this could be integrated in to validate() itself, so that other
people don't have to come asking/searching for the answer?

I guess that could work. A less-guesswork would be a custom method,
something like this:
$.validator.addMethod(tinymce, function() {
if(tinyMCE) tinyMCE.triggerSave();
return true;
});
Then used in combination with other rules:
rules: {
someField: {
tinymce: true,
required: true
}
}
