I should have noted fckFullDescr was the ID of my fckeditor control in the asp.net page.

This is noted for my experience with visualstudio 2008 asp.net 3.x, i don’t know if this problem exists for other versions of vs or asp.net.

If you are using the fckeditor html/text editor tool in your webpages and have these lines of code it appears that whenever a postback occurs the fckeditor control will disappear from your UI. It also appears you can use the fckeditor without these lines of code and it will work fine(i.e. not disappear on postback).

//string fullURL = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
//int index = fullURL.IndexOf(“/ServiceEditor/”);
//string path = fullURL.Substring(0, index);
//fckFullDescr.BasePath = path + fckFullDescr.BasePath

Put this in Page_Load (NOT just if Page.IsPostback = false) and it will work no matter how many FCKeditors you have:

ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(Me, Me.GetType(), “AjaxHack”, “for ( var i = 0; i < parent.frames.length; ++i ) if ( parent.frames[i].FCK ) parent.frames[i].FCK.UpdateLinkedField();")

The given code is not correct. As Naveen says the whole page will be refreshed.

You have to use “ScriptManager” instead “Page.ClientScript”:

ScriptManager.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(editor, editor.GetType(), “editor”, “FCKUpdateLinkedField(‘” + editor.ClientID + “‘);”);

Notice that this method receives 4 parameters. The method of the example has 3 parameters.

Even if you apply this change an error will appear. For example: if you change the visibility of the editor several times.
