Question

I’m using TinyMCE and it’s jQuery plugin.

I added a function to be called each time the save button is clicked, like this:

$('#my:textarea').tinymce({ 
    save_callback: function() { console.log('saving things!'); }
});

It’s called 4 times each time the user clicks the save button; should I be putting my callback somewhere else?

According to the documentation, save_callback is considered deprecated. It suggests you to use the new Event API.

Give this a try:

$('#my:textarea').tinymce({
   setup : function(ed){
      ed.onSaveContent.add(function(ed, o) {
          // Output the element name
          console.debug(o.element.nodeName);
      });
   }
});
