Maaaarrrrvelous!

ASP, VBScript.

I have have spent days and days and days trying to implement a WYSIWYG html editor into my site, and I have just got it to work so I am now a happy bunny... My wife just doesn't understand how important this has become to me!

Anyway, I now need to do this:

The editor requires that you click save so that it submits its contents to a hidden text field in order to submit to the database. So what I want to do is ensure that the Submit button for the entire form isn't visible or clickable until the save button for the html editor has been clicked.

How can I deactivate or hide the form's submit button until the user has clicked the save WYSIWYG content button? Obviously, what I don't want is something that when clicked refreshes the page thus wiping out the entered form data.

I bet it's Javascript - I'm rubbish at Javascript!

Thanks.

It's PD html editor that I have used - an extention from the dreamweaver exchange. The save button has this javascript:

onclick="OnFormSubmit()";

The save button sends the contents of the editor pane to the hidden text field. This then only gets submitted with the rest of the other fields when the submit form button is clicked. So there are two clicks that need to be made; a save click and a submit form click. The trouble is if the user doesn't click save first, then the hidden text field doesn't have content to submit to the db, thus undoing all of their hard work in the editor pane. So, I would like some method of being able to prevent users from loosing their editor content.

I did try to use the onclick="OnFormSubmit()"; to send the whole form, but nothing happened!

Here's a url:
http//:www.ipra.org/gwa_entryform3.asp

It's a bit messy at the mo' but you get the idea.

Cheers

I used to use a free editor from
http://www.dmxzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=3548, and it seems like it was
working fine with DW4 (yeah, it's been a while, sorry). Right now, I'm on
CS3 and using this one:

I know I haven't answered your question, but these options might be a better
solution to your needs.

It's been a while since I used PD Editor, if memory serves me right you had
to put "copyValue()" in the form's onSubmit attribute to automatically copy
the PD-editor's content to a hidden text-field when the form is submitted.

Normally, you send the text from the editor to the hidden field WHEN the
SUBMIT button is pressed. So you'd tie the javascript that you want to put
in the 'SAVE' button directly to your SUBMIT button instead.
