.NET AJAX With TinyMCE
RichTextWidget.ascx:
I have a user control that contains a label with a textbox and some hidden fields inside of it. I have an AddEvent() javascript function that runs whenever the page finishes loading.
JScript.js:
Inside of the AddEvent() javascript function, I am calling the tinyMCE stuff, which takes care initializing and hiding the textbox, etc.
I also have a add_endRequest(), which is linked to the same tinyMCE initializing piece. So, when the UpdatePanel is updating, it should reinit the TinyMCE controls.
Testing.aspx:
I have this user control (RichTextWidget.ascx) inside of an UpdatePanel. When I press the submit button, everything is working fine, except for one huge thing...
The problem: The User's text is not being remembered on the code behind during the async postback! I figure this is because the textfield isn't being updated correctly by tinyMCE.
How do I get the UpdatePanel to recognize changes being done in the tinyMCE?
This idea didn't work:
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestMa
var newContent = GetMCEEditorFromArray('<%=
$access('<%= this.ClientID %>_rte_tmce').value = newContent; // set the hidden text field to the new value
});
Ideas???

That solution does not work in my situation.
HERE IS WHAT I AM ABLE TO DO:
1. When the page loads, javascript initializes tinyMCE for specific textareas (which are in User Controls).
2. The user enters data into the IFrame (TinyMCE's interface).
3. User presses button:
a. If it's not inside an update panel, the server-side code acknowledges the data you enter/change in the IFrame.
b. If it's inside an update panel, the server-side code only acknowledges the original text (the text set in the textarea).
Oddly, if I press submit several times with an updatepanel, the second or third time around, the user text (from several submissions ago) finally gets put into the textarea/iframe.
Ideas?

Do you might to post some of the working code to see if anything can be modified based on requested?
