Topic: Help getting html out of wysiwyg editors upon form submit
mleach free asked 3 years ago
I'm looking for a very straightforward example to get code out of a wysiwyg editor and submit it for writing to a database
I can get the text but not formatted html - need to figure out how to get the formatted stuff
I have multiple wysiwyg editors on the page...
currently I have multiple on page like this:
other text some text
I have javascript that pulls out the text for each of these - but cannot figure out how to get the full html code when I format these using the editor
here is the js
const formEl = document.querySelector('form');const persdevgoalArea = document.querySelector('.persdevgoal-area');const contactsArea = document.querySelector('.contacts-area');formEl.addEventListener('submit', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); alert('First area content:-->'+persdevgoalArea.innerText+'---- second content:'+contactsArea.innerText+'
- I tried to figure out how to use the getCode in the api - but there is no real good tutorial or example that really shows this working, even more so when there are multiple editors on a page
please share any pointers.

I created an example that gets all the wysiwyg editors on the site. Look at this snippet, the getCode
method you mentioned was used there: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/grzegorz-bujanski/3328037#html-tab-view
