Integrating eWebEditPro Using JavaScript
When such an action occurs, Internet Explorer fires an onbeforeunload event,
which saves the content to the hidden field. If you want to intercept the event and
let the user decide whether or not to save the content at that time, use the
following code. Note that the onbeforesave method is inserted prior to the page
create event.
eWebEditPro.onbeforesave = MySaveCheck;
eWebEditPro.create("myeditor", "100%", "90%");
Then, insert the following function on the page to detect whether to allow the
editor to save. You do not want to never save because that would mean that new
content is never saved.
// Return false to abort the save.
function MySaveCheck()
{
if(ConditionsAllowSave())
return(true); // true allow the save to continue
else
return(false); // false stops the save
}
Finally, if you want suppress the warning message about the save, use the
following code.
eWebEditProMessages.confirmAway = null;
Saving from One Instance of the Editor
The eWebEditPro.save method saves all instances of the editor on the page. To
save just one, use eWebEditPro.instances[n].save(). The n within
square brackets is either the name of the editor used when creating it (for
example, eWebEditPro.create("EditorName", ...)) or an index number
(0, 1, 2, etc., where 0 is the first editor created).
See Also: “Appendix A: Naming the eWebEditPro Editor” on page 576.
For example
eWebEditPro.create("Summary", 700, 200);
eWebEditPro.create("Teaser", 700, 300);
eWebEditPro.create("Desc", 700, 400);
...
eWebEditPro.instances["Desc"].save();
or
eWebEditPro.instances[2].save();
Alternatively, you can retrieve content by passing an object to the save method.
To do this, set the object’s value property to receive the content.
For example
var objContent = new Object();
objContent.value="";
eWebEditPro.save(objContent);
.objContent.value now stores the content.
