Hey guys,
I've written a little php function that uses the IE DHTML control for
Internet Explorer, and I'm attempting to extend it so that it uses a
contentEditable iframe with Mozilla 1.3 and greater.
I've got the iframe working great, but the problem is I'm having
trouble extracting the value from the iframe. Typically, what I do
with Internet Explorer is I add an onBlur event handler to the WYSIWYG
object that copies the value into a hidden text area. This allows me
to build a 100% self contained control that doesn't require anything
other than a SINGLE reference within your php document (example for
the curious):
<? richedit('name', 'attr="value" style="width:100%;"'); ?>
Now, my problem is, with Mozilla it appears that the iframe doesn't
support the onblur event. I've also tried setting onblur for the
iframe contentWindow property using blur, onblur, and onBlur to no
avail. Example:
document.getElementById('iframeid').contentWindow.blur =
"onBlur();";
Needless to say I'm a bit stuck. I would MUCH prefer to not have any
javascript code for this control clutter up the rest of my page. To
do that, I need some way to extract the value of the rich edit control
and copy it into a hidden form field. I don't want to do it when the
form is submitted because this would require inserting javascript
outside of the richedit() function reference in my php code.
Any ideas?
Bryan
