heres a javascript form from this page.



<script language="JavaScript">
function CheckForm() {
 var errorMsg = '';

//For Gecko Madis API (RTE)
if (document.frmAddMessage.message.value.indexOf('<br>') > -1 && document.frmAddMessage.message.value.length == 8) document.frmAddMessage.message.value = '';


	//Check for message
	if (document.frmAddMessage.message.value==''){
		errorMsg += '\n\tMessage Box \t\t- Enter a Message to Submit';
	}

	//If there is aproblem with the form then display an error
	if (errorMsg != ''){
		msg = '_______________________________________________________________\n\n';
		msg += 'The form has not been submitted because there are problem(s) with the form.\n';
		msg += 'Please correct the problem(s) and re-submit the form.\n';
		msg += '_______________________________________________________________\n\n';
		msg += 'The following field(s) need to be corrected: -\n';

		errorMsg += alert(msg + errorMsg + '\n\n');
		return false;
	}

	document.frmAddMessage.Submit.disabled=true;
	return true;
}
</script>

just change the names for the form (frmAddMessage) and make sure the name for the message field (message) in the above example is correct.

Using the js and form shown below The validation Alert shows correctly but when OKing the alert the form submits to the next page. If the RTE isn't installed and only a text box is used the validation works perfectly.   I do see that it works on the board here, am I missing something simple?

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

and this form:

<form method=post name="frmNews" action="WWN_add_news.asp" onSubmit="return CheckForm();" onReset="return ResetForm();">
        <table width="660" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="#000000" height="230" align="center">
          <tr>
            <td height="66" width="967"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="201">
                <tr>
                &n bsp; <td height="199"><table width="100%" border="0" align="center" height="191">
                &n bsp;     <tr>
                &n bsp;       <td colspan="2" height="30" class="text" align="left">*Indicates required fields</td>
                &n bsp;     </tr>
                &n bsp;     <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF" >
                &n bsp;       <td align="right" width="20%" height="12">News Title*:</td>
                &n bsp;       <td height="12" width="80%"><input type="text" name="title" size="30" maxlength="50">
                &n bsp;       </td>
                &n bsp;     </tr>
                &n bsp;     <tr>
                &n bsp;       <td valign="top" align="right" height="22">Short News Item*:</td>
                &n bsp;       <td height="22" valign="bottom">
                             <textarea name="shortNews" cols="57" rows="5" id="shortNews"></textarea>

Hi, I think my situation is nearly identical to Stafford's.

My text area has the following JS check within the same page as the RTE component:

var descr = oform.P5.value
oform.P5.value = descr

if (descr == "") {
var errorm = errorm + (" -- Description is required. \n");
var trap = ("error");

}

The page submits normally when using the standard text area but when using RTE it sees a zero length string.

The RTE is fabulous. Is there something simple I can do? I'm really stuck!

Good luck. I worked for a while on it with resolution to the problem. It was easier in the end to let the form submit and do the verification with asp on the next page. It works here so there is probably a simple solution. Not one that I could see though

NOTE: This is for RC only

add a hidden form after the <textarea>:

In JS in place of:

var descr = oform.P5.value
oform.P5.value = descr

insert:

<% If RTEenabled() <> "false" then
   Response.Write "document.getElementById('descr').value = document.getElementById('WebWizRTE').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML;"
   Response.Write "var descr = document.getElementById('descr').value;" & vbcrLf
   Response.Write "if (descr.indexOf('<br>') > -1 && descr.length == 8) {var descr=''}" & vbcrLf
  Else
   Response.Write "var descr = oform.P5.value;"
  End If
