I use javascript form validation to check that a form-field is not empty when submitted. The script is something like this in the head tag:

if (form.txtForm.value == ''){
  missing_fields = "Chief Complaints";
        i = i + 1;
    }

   if (i > 0){

  for (var i=0; i<missing_fields.length; i++){
   var x = x + "\n" + missing_fields;

  }
  alert("The following fields must be completed:\n" + x );
  return(false);
   }

    return(true); /* for application_accept */

}

// done hiding -->
</script>

And calling the fuunction from form like this:

<form method="post" action="xyz.asp" name=apply onSubmit="return application_accept(this)">

It works perfectly but when I put in the webwiz RTE for any field, the RTE works fine but the form-validation scripts stops working. Seems there is a javascript conflict. Borg or anyone else can help me identify and resolve the issue? I really love the usability that RTE adds but at the same time I can not do away with form validation. Please help!

Use the javaScript debugger in FireFox to find out where the problem is. It will at at least give you can idea of where to look.

Thanks. I actually solved the problem immediately after posting it here. The solution is - add your onsubmit call of original form in the RTE_javascript.asp file around line 168 in this function

//get textrea value from RTE and run any original onSubmit events
textArea.form.onsubmit = function(){
  textArea.value = editor.body.innerHTML;
  for (i in this.originalOnSubmit){
   return application_accept(this); // <--This is what I have added. U have to add your own event here
   return this.originalOnSubmit();
  }

If you have only one field in your form than u can simply replace this line

return this.originalOnSubmit();

with your return call that u were originally using to validate your form or any other script that was using the onSubmit event. If you have many fields than you will need to add your return statment.
