I'm using FCKEditor on my asp.net web page. It appears beautifully, and the editor looks really good on the front end. Only problem is, the .Value property is not being set on the postback. No matter what changes the user makes to the value of the control on the page, when I click "Submit", the .Value property remains blank.
I have Googled for other solutions, and most of them are of the variety where there's some conflict with
Ajax, such as this and this. My problem is not solved by these solutions; it's much more fundamental than that. I'm not doing anything to do with Ajax; I'm just a simple asp.net newbie with a simple web
form, and the value property is not being set on postback, not in IE and not in FF.
It appears that at least one other person has had this problem, but no solution yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
New information:
I tried this out on a "hello world" test web site - and the test web site works 100%. There is obviously a problem on my page, but I have no idea where to begin tracking this down.
Here's the markup of my page, in case anyone can see anything obvious that my newbie eyes can't:
