I am trying to learn the dijit editor. I want to replace an existing text area with a dijit editor widget. So I wrote 2 jsps - one using dijit.Editor, which passes another jsp with the contents of the editor. When I click submit , the second jsp result displays empty content for the editor, regardless of what is typed in the text area editor.
dijitEditor.jsp
<script type="text/javascript"> dojo.require("dijit.Editor"); dojo.require("dijit._editor.plugins.LinkDialog"); dojo.require("dijit._editor.plugins.AlwaysShowToolbar"); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> dojo.addOnLoad(function(){ alert("addOnLoad function"); dojo.connect(dojo.byId('form1'), 'onsubmit', function(){ dojo.byId('editorContent').value= dijit.byId('content').getValue(); alert("Hidden variable"); alert(dojo.byId('editorContent').value); alert("Editor content"); alert(dijit.byId('content').getValue()); }); }); </script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.6/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css" /> </head> <body class=" claro "> <FORM id="form1" METHOD=POST ACTION="result.jsp"> <table> <tr> <td> <input type="hidden" name="editorContent" /> <div dojoType="dijit.Editor" id="content" onChange="console.log('editor1 onChange handler: ' + arguments[0])" plugins="['foreColor','|','bold','italic','underline','|','createLink', 'unlink']" extraPlugins="['dijit._editor.plugins.AlwaysShowToolbar']"> <p> <b>This instance is created with a subset of functions enabled in the order we want. </b> </p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="action"/> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>
