Two things that are broken moving to JBoss AS 4.2 CR1 (This is not due to JBoss or Seam, but from switching from MyFaces the Sun JSF implementation)

- TinyMCE: the content of the textarea is not saved. I have to investigate was going on there.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

cheers

var jobDescription = document.getElementById('modifyVacancyForm:jobDescription');
jobDescription.value = tinyMCE.getContent('modifyVacancyForm:jobDescription');

Excellent, thanks! :-)

Just in case anyone elses javascript is as weak as mine:

function updateValue()
 {
 var textValue = document.getElementById('webpageForm:mainText');
 textValue.value = tinyMCE.getContent('webpageForm:mainText');
 }

<h:form id="webpageForm" onsubmit="updateValue();">
 <h:inputTextarea id="mainText" value="#{webpage.text}" rows="10" cols="40"/>

Is there a plan to resolve this issue, and negate the need for this workaround?

I'm guessing that's a no? This is actually quite a pain - because you can't use the work around in a multipart form.

I've since discovered that you also can't use the above workaround with tinymce mode set to

mode : "exact"

But, it seems there is a superior work around.. still a bit of a pain, but it works.

Call the following on submitting the form.

function updateValue()
{
 tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveControl', false, 'idofmyeditorregion');
}

Thanks for the post!

I had to make a small modification.

textValue.value =tinyMCE.getContent();

I'm using Seam 2.0

the 'superior' workaround did not work for me.
