fckeditor and AJAX
fckeditor is cool, and so is AJAX. I've never used them together until today, and it's quite simple.
One gotcha that was killing me - if/when you use Javascript to send the contents of the fckeditor window, keep these few things in mind (for use with ColdFusion, BTW):
- Assuming you have a submit button that sends the contents to a JS function, use this to grab that content:
FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('myInstance').GetXHTML());
- And if/when you send your data from JS to CF, be sure to use the javascript encode function:
var foo = encode(FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('myInstance').GetXHTML()));
- And if/when you use CF to work with that data, decode it with urldecode:
<cfset fixedContent = urldecode(incomingData)>
