Hello there,
A quick follow up question if I may - I am trying to extract the HTML from the WYSIWYG component within a PHP script.
After reading the above I created a hidden field on my form and added an onchange handler to my textarea that would take the .val() and drop it into the hidden field. I figured then I could submit this hidden field and get the HTML back to my PHP form handler.
The trouble is that the onchange event won't fire. If I remove the javascript to initialise the WYSIWYG component then it will work (but then I only have a normal textarea and not the nice component.
Is there a way to get the onchange (or an alternative event) to fire for the WYSIWYG component so that I can actually grab the HTML please.
Kind Regards
Greg
