Wsyiwyg editor script and validator not working together 1

[benniesanders]

Greetings,

I know just enough to get into trouble, but I'm using innova studio's wysiwyg editor and a separate form validator. They work great separately but not together.

I'm calling them like this:

<script javascript src="/administrator/scripts/innovaeditor.js"></script>
<script javascript src="/administrator/gen_validatorv2.js"></script>

If I remove the validator, the editor works properly. By "work" I mean when I submit the form, the text in the editor submits. If I use the validator, the text in the editor is ignored.

Both scripts are very long so I hesitate to post them.

Is there a slick way I can validate the other fields in my form and still use this wysiwyg editor? Many thanks in advance.

Call the links like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/administrator/scripts/innovaeditor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/administrator/gen_validatorv2.js"></script>

I don't know if it will solve your problem, but it's certainly more correct that the code you posted.

Cheers,
Jeff

Thanks, Jeff. Even if it doesn't solve the problem, I'd like to do it correctly. If you can think of anything, let me know. I saw an earlier post about two onload events need to be called from the body tag, but I could only find one in the editor js file... Many thanks again.

hi Jeff,

I found this code on Experts Exchange and it WORKS, apparently somebody was having the same problem. I have a couple of questions about it, though.

1. How do I make it validate more than one field, and

2. How do I make it go back and focus on the field they forgot after the alert comes up?

MANY THANKS AGAIN!!

function ValidateForm(myForm) {
  if( document.getElementById( 'TheContent' ).value == '' ) {
    alert( 'Please enter text information' ) ;
    return false ;
  } else {
    return true ;
  }
}

Try this little modification out...

function ValidateForm(myForm) {
  if( document.getElementById( 'TheContent' ).value == '' ) {
    alert( 'Please enter text information' ) ;
    [COLOR=red]document.getElementById( 'TheContent' ).focus();[/color]
    return false ;
  } else {
    return true ;
  }
}

Hope that does what you want.

Cheers,
Jeff
