Question

I am using railo and attempting to submit a tinymce text area via ajax.

My problem is upon submission it seems that the html is stripped and the sql isn’t actually updated.

here is my code:

function UpdateHome() {
  document.getElementById('UpdateProcessing').style.display = '';
  document.getElementById('HomeForm').style.display = 'none';
  ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm("HomeForm","action.cfm",HomeUpdateReturn);
  }

<form action="action.cfm" method="post" id="HomeForm">
 <input type="hidden" name="action" value="HomeUpdate" />
 <CFLOOP QUERY="FetchHome">
 <textarea id="HomeArea" name="HomeArea" class="tinymce" rows="20" cols="20"
 style="width:100%; height:500px" >#Body#</textarea>
 </CFLOOP>
 <input type="button" class="HomeSubmit" value="Save" onClick="UpdateHome();" /> 
</form>

<CFQUERY NAME="UpdateHome">
 UPDATE Content
 SET Body = '#HomeArea#'
 WHERE ID = 1
</CFQUERY>

<CFSET UdateHome     = ArrayNew(1)>
<CFSET UpdateHome[1]     = true>
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/json" RESET="true">
<CFOUTPUT>#serializeJSON(UpdateHome)#</CFOUTPUT>

When I submit the form without ajax the sql works fine .

does anyone have any idea why this wont submit the html formatted text via ajax?

Answer 1

All you need to do before you submit the form is to call the javascript line

 tinymce.triggerSave()
