I have a simple ASP.Net MVC View which contains an
FCKeditor text box (created using
FCKeditor's Javascript ReplaceTextArea() function). These are included within an Ajax.BeginForm helper:
<% using (Ajax.BeginForm("AddText", "Letters",
new AjaxOptions() { UpdateTargetId = "addTextResult" }))
{%>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</div>
<div>
<%=Html.TextArea("testBox", "Content", new { @name = "testBox" })%>
<script type=""text/javascript"">
window.onload = function()
{
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('testBox') ;
var sBasePath = '<%= Url.Content("~/Content/FCKeditor/") %>';
oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath;
oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet = "Basic";
oFCKeditor.Height = 400;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
}
</script>
<div id="addTextResult">
</div>
<%} %>
The controller action hanlding this is:
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult AddText(string testBox)
{
return Content(testBox);
}
Upon initial submission of the Ajax Form the testBox string in the AddText action is always "Content", whatever the contents of the
FCKeditor have been changed to. If the Ajax form is submitted again a second time (without further changes) the testBox paramater correctly contains the actual contents of the
FCKeditor.
If I use a Html.TextArea without replacing with
FCKeditor it works correctly, and if I use a standard Post form submit inplace of AJAX all works as expected.
Am I doing something wrong?
If not is there a suitable/straight-forward workaround for this problem?
