When I load the RTE ()

I can no longer read in any values that I pass to the onSubmit Javascript function. When that piece of code above is commented out the values are read in. But when the above code is added the form values are not passed in.

Please help.

Thank you.

Try placing your onSubmit event handler in a different location, eg, if on the form tag move to the submit button of vise versa.

I moved the onSubmit to the submit button tag and it still does not work.

            <form method="post" action="../eventResults.asp" name="eventForm">
            <fieldset class="createEvents">
                 <legend>Create Event</legend>
                <p class="required">* Required Fields</p>

                    <p>
                        <label for="fName"><em class="required">*  </em>First Name:</label>
                        
                        <input name="fName" id="fName" type="text" />

In the file RTE_javascript.asp there is some code around line 165 which is meant to capture any onSubmit event you already have and run it after the RTE's own onSubmit event to re-populate your original textarea with the RTE input.

This is the code that does this:-


//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 this.originalOnSubmit[i]();
        }
    }

After the line:-

textArea.value = editor.body.innerHTML;

Try adding in a call to your own onSubmit event and see if that solves the problem.
