Question

Im using FCK Editor control instead a textarea element. I installed it without problems.

But when i want to validate it with a Custom validator of ASP.Net 2.0, im not getting the result expected.

These lines are the code that i have:

<textarea style="width:30px;height:20px;" class="ckeditor" id="txtdescription" runat="server" name="txtdescription" cols="5" rows="10"></textarea>

<asp:CustomValidator id="descval" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtdescription" EnableClientScript="true" Enabled="true" ValidateEmptyText="true" Display="Dynamic" ClientValidationFunction="ValidateTextDesc" Text="*" ErrorMessage="*"/> 

<asp:Button ID="buttonadd" runat="server" Text="Add text" OnClick="buttonadd_Click" />

And my javascript code that executes the CustomValidator client function is:

function ValidateTextDesc(source, args)
{
    var descriptiontext = document.getElementById("txtdescription");
 if ((descriptiontext.value.indexOf("<script") != -1) || (descriptiontext.value.length==0))
 {
     args.IsValid=false;
 }
 else
 {
    args.IsValid = true;
 }
 return args.IsValid;
}

My problem is that i have to click twice my submit button to execute this Client function:

Do you know why this issue is happening?
Thanks in advance.

For the new version of CKEditor (3.0.2) the solution is to use:

CKEDITOR.instances.idoftextarea.getData();
