I am using the cuteeditor and attempting to do some of the functionality via Ajax, such as loading and retrieving values from the editor. Basically what I am doing is taking the value of a div and then placing it inside of the editor, once I am done editing the information I put the value back into the div again. This worked fine using the javascript API as such:

 

The problem is that you cannot use the syntext <%=Editor1.ClientID%> with the ajax control toolkit without getting a block code error. Is there a different approach to handling this issue? The standard document.getElementById does not work with the editor.

Dear ASPMan,

 

You can replace <%=Editor1.ClientID%> with a string, please refer to the following snippet:

 

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" >
       function getHTML() {
           // get the cute editor instance
           var editor1 = document.getElementById('CE_Editor1_ID');

           // Set the editor
           editor1.setHTML(document.getElementById("myTextArea").value);
       }

Thank you for asking

Writing the set function the way you have gives you a javascript error:

 

"Object does not support this method of property"

Dear ASPMan,

 

document.getElementById('CE_Editor1_ID');

 

You only need refer to this line, use it in your own code.

 

The full code can be found in "Framework 2.0\cs\JavaScript-API.aspx", you can find this file in download package.

I think I got it now, its more about when the editor is actually displayed then the API functionality. My page is set up to only display the editor as needed, and I needed to make it display prior to attempt to set the html apparently.

 

Thanks for the help
