[justsomeguy]

If you want to save the value so that it always shows on the page, then yeah you need to use a language like PHP which can save it. If you only want to display it on the current page you're viewing but not have it saved for anyone else looking at that page, then you can just use Javascript to modify the page. All Javascript does is modify the current page, it doesn't save anything.

Yeah, you need to use PHP if you want to send email or do anything meaningful with the data in the form.

Well, have you looked at the W3Schools PHP tutorials?

[lse123]

basically html code can be transported by what persistent media? hidden fields, sessions, cookies,..., post/get,...????

fromhttp://developer.yahoo.com/yui/editor/if have a js var: html how assign in php var $htmlEq AND after APPEAR ITS CONTENTS TO NEXT .php PAGE?Getting the data from the EditorThere are a couple of ways to get the data from the editor. The first way is to let the Editor do it for you by setting the handleSubmit configuration option.Setting the handleSubmit configuration option, the Editor will attempt to attach itself to its parent form's submit event. Then it will call its saveHTML method, then proceed with the form submission.The manual way, is to call the saveHTML method yourself. Like this:view plain | print | toggle line numbersvar myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('msgpost');myEditor.render(); //Inside an event handler after the Editor is renderedYAHOO.util.Event.on('somebutton', 'click', function() { //Put the HTML back into the text area myEditor.saveHTML(); //The var html will now have the contents of the textarea var html = myEditor.get('element').value;}); var myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('msgpost');myEditor.render();//Inside an event handler after the Editor is renderedYAHOO.util.Event.on('somebutton', 'click', function() {//Put the HTML back into the text areamyEditor.saveHTML();//The var html will now have the contents of the textareavar html = myEditor.get('element').value;});

You can either submit a form or use ajax to send the value to PHP, and you can save it in the session to make it available on other pages.

GIVEN JS VAR GET IT'S VALUE ONSUBMIT, then may use ajax [js1+php1 files] to save var in session onsubmit, and form actually submitted thereafter on [php2 file] using the prior php session var from ajax?

[justsomeguy]

I'm having a hard time understanding your question.

[lse123]

I mean JS VAR GET IT'S VALUE ONSUBMIT(just after press submit, correct?), then may use ajax [1.js+1.php files] to save var in session onsubmit, and form actually submitted thereafter continuously, on [2.php file] using the prior php session var setup from ajax/1.php files?

[justsomeguy]

You can set a value of a Javascript variable however you want. You can do that in the form's submit handler, or at any other time. No matter how you set the value, if you want to send the value to PHP without the page refreshing then you need to use ajax. If you don't care if the page refreshes, then you can just submit the value through a regular HTML form. Regardless of how the data gets to PHP, once PHP has the value you can save it in the session, and then that value will be available to PHP on any other page in the session.

then you can just submit the value through a regular HTML form.

HOW TO SUBMIT ON A WEB FORM, A JavaScript VAR?

[justsomeguy]

You put the value into a regular form input element. If you don't want the value to appear in the form, you can use a hidden input element.

yes but in this case var get it's value AFTER press the submit and wanted appeared same time with php..., how do that you say???

[thescientist]

if you need to perform calculations with form data after its been submitted, then the PHP page the form is submitting to can handle that as well.

yes but in this case variable of rich textarea content get it's value AFTER press the submit[how then insert in a hidden field], and wanted appeared same time with php...in next page, how do that you say???

If the content is in a textarea, the textarea's value should be submitted along with the rest of the form. There's no need to store it's contents in a variable.

[justsomeguy]

<input type="hidden" id="hidden_id" name="hidden_name">In the onsubmit handler:document.getElementById("hidden_id").value = 'whatever value you want';It doesn't matter what the variable is. It doesn't matter if it contains rich textarea content or anything else. It doesn't matter if the value gets set before or after any other event. All you need to do is access the element, however you want to do that, I used document.getElementById above, and set the value to whatever you want to set it to. When the form submits it will include the hidden input.

[lse123]

in Post #10: var html = myEditor.get('element').value; // relative to this assign document.getElementById("hidden_id").value = html; // but in what place the latter statement? I have to download yahoo ui lib or the use of online (from yahoo directly=absolute url) is ok???

[ShadowMage]

I'm still a little confused. You're taking the contents of a textarea, putting it into a JavaScript variable, and trying to pass it to a PHP script?

[justsomeguy]

in Post #10: var html = myEditor.get('element').value; // relative to this assign document.getElementById("hidden_id").value = html; // but in what place the latter statement?

You assign the value to the hidden element wherever you want to do that. I'm not real sure how to say that. The correct place where you assign the value is the point at which you want to assign it. Post 10 shows an example of putting a handler on a button, if that's what you want to do then you can assign the value then. You just assign the value whenever you want the hidden input to get that value.
