Advanced HTML Editor Validation Check
Michael Bielen Member Since: 06 Sep 2004 Posts: 10	Posted 09 Aug 2008 23:45:27 I'm using the Advanced HTML Editor. Everything is going well, except I've come across and issue that I've been strugging with. I have a simple script to check if the HTMLEdit text area is empty. If it, display the error. If not, continue on. When I run the script, the first time the alert always appears even if there is content in the text area. When I click submit the second time without changing any content, the validation works properly. Is there a different way I should be looking at an HTML Editor text area to validate? Thanks if (document.getElementById("NONE".checked) { if (document.getElementById("announcementTitle".value.length > 0) { document.MM_returnValue = true; } else { alert("Please enter an announcement title." document.MM_returnValue = false; } } I'm using the Advanced HTML Editor.
