Terminating the Save Method
Saving Content Manually
Integrating eWebEditPro Using JavaScript
Returning false in the onbeforesave event handler terminates the save method
and the onsave event.
For example
eWebEditPro.onbeforesave="return confirm(‘Do you want to save?’)";
eWebEditPro.onsave="alert(‘Done saving’)";
To manually save content, use this code.
function mysubmit(){
eWebEditPro.actionOnUnload = EWEP_ONUNLOAD_NOSAVE;
eWebEditPro.save();
document.myform.submit();
Closing a Window without Saving Content
To close a window (that is, cancel) without saving the content to the hidden field,
use this code.
eWebEditPro.actionOnUnload = EWEP_ONUNLOAD_NOSAVE;
self.close();

Prevent Detecting the onsubmit Event
To prevent automatic saving of the content to the hidden field when a submit
button is pressed, use this code. It must appear prior to creating the editor on the
page.
document.myform.eWebEditProSubmitHandled=true;
eWebEditPro.create(...);

Prevent Detecting the onbeforeunload/onunload Event
To prevent automatically saving the content to the hidden field when the Web
page is unloaded, use this code. It must appear prior to creating the editor on the
page.
window.eWebEditProUnloadHandled=true;
eWebEditPro.create(...);

Preventing the Save Caused by an onbeforeunload Event
Sometimes, a user performs an action that causes the current window to close.
For example, he clicks the small X in the top right corner.
