I am using the open source Javascript WYSIWYG from OpenWebWare and Asp.Net RequiredFieldValidator on the TextBox which I am calling the WYSIWYG for. Everything works fine, but the first time I try to submit the form, I get the server-side RFV ErrorMessage ‘Required’, but if I submit a second time, it goes through.
Am I missing something? I would like to have the client-side validation… how can I get the text to register as not empty?
I think the reason for this behavior is that validation code runs earlier than the code that updates underlying TextBox from value of WYSIWYG. So the first time you get the error, then the field is updated and the second time you don’t get it. Try removing all the content the second time and I bet you wont get validation error (since the value for validator at the moment is what you actually submitted the first time).
The solution would be to find a JavaScript API call for your WYSIWYG which would force the update of the underlying text box field and call it onclick (client-side) of your submit button or whatever you use for that.
