Rails - Oct 2005 - fckeditor_text_field won't get submitted by form_remote_tag

Hi all,

has someone succeeded in submitting a form build by the form_remote_tag 
including a fckeditor_text_field?

I''ve followed the instructions of 
http://www.joshuamcharles.com/rails/fckeditor.html and in a
''ajax-less''
page flow it''s working like a charm. Unfortunatly after using the 
FCK-field with the ajax helper form_remote_tag the content of the 
FCK-field won''t get submitted resulting in :description =>
""
(description is the field i''m using the FCK on). Changing the 
fckeditor_text_field back to a normal textarea makes things work again 
regardless of using start_form_tag or form_remote_tag. Has anyone 
experienced this behaviour or has a snippet of a ajax-submit including a 
FCK-field?

kind regards
Jan Prill

Hello,

I''m curious as to two things.  First, how is the fck-editor being
loaded (i.e. through an ajax call or with the page).  If it''s through
an ajax call, is the editor loading?

I''m not sure exactly how the fckeditor changes the DOM of the page, so
that might be why the ajax call is not working while the regular
sumbit does.  If it is a DOM problem, I''m sure there is a way around
it, but it would probably require writing some custom javascript.

You might also try posting in the fck_editor forums and see if anyone
over there is using an ajax post.

The fckeditor is loading with the page. I''ts only the post that I want 
to be ''ajaxish''.

The helper method fckeditor_text_field replaces the initial textarea 
with the following call:

<p><label
for="product_description">Description</label><br/>

<textarea cols="40" id="product_description"
name="product[description]"
rows="20"></textarea><script
type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var oFCKeditor = new
FCKeditor(''product_description'');oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea()
//]]>
</script></p>

Do you think, that this replacement of the textarea with the fckfield might
cause the problems with form_remote_tag while a ''normal'' post
is working?

On this mailing list someone has had problems with mozilla and changed the
helper, so that id and name of the textarea are equal. I''ve tested this
too but
:description => stays empty. I haven''t thought this would be my
problem anyway since the form_remote_tag post isn''t working on IE
either.
