Hi folks,
Maybe someone can give me some ideas where to look in order to debug
this problem...
I'm trying to integrate the CForms HTMLArea support into an existing
Cocoon 2.1.8 applicaiton that uses CForms. Really, it's just changing
an existing textarea control into an "htmlarea" widget (<fi:styling
type="htmlarea"/>) and fixing up everything else so that the string
value gets serialized/parsed appropriately in all the right places.
Anyway... the HTMLArea control is displayed and appears to be work
right, i.e. I can perform editing/authoring
operations, including adding links, making styling changes etc.
The problem is that when I submit the form, the new value of the widget
is not submitted. I fired up LiveHTTPHeaders in Mozilla, and I can see
that it's the old value in the POST request, not the new one. I checked
it at this level just to rule out any server-side CForms botching that I
may have going on.
The HTMLArea sample in the Cocoon distribution works fine for me. It's
just in my real application that I've got something fubar. I'm using
Firefox 1.5.0.2 and Moz 1.7.11.
I verified that the htmlarea.js script is able to load all of its
subsidiary scripts (even though HTMLArea doesn't work in Safari, I fired
up the page in Safari so that I could use its very handy Activity window
to make sure that everything is loading correctly).
Any ideas?
cocoon uses forms_onsubmit() and handles all submits not via
<input type="submit"/> but via <input type="button"
onclick="forms_onsubmit(...)"/>
this does not trigger the default form's onsubmit handler which htmlarea
overrides.
the most stupid way to fix that is:
<ft:form-template action="" method="post" name="edit">
<!-- bug workaround -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var handler = new Object();
handler.forms_onsubmit = function() {
document.edit.newsText.value =
document.edit.newsText.htmlarea.getHTML();
return true;
}
forms_onsubmitHandlers.push(handler);
</script>
This is just a quick fix. Probably the way to fix it is to register this
kind of handler for every htmlarea in the form.
