The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Validating text content entry (InnovaStudio WYSIWYG Editor)

Asked by mike99c in JavaScript, Macromedia Homesite

Tags: innovaeditor, editor, javascript

I've got a form with a texteditor (innova) in it. I'd like to validate using Javascript that some text has been entered. I get a run time error when I try

and read values from the form from within the JS validate routine.

The error is:

A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 8
Error: 'TheContent.value' is null or not an object

The code is as follows, you need the innova text edit script source, to get the editor to work.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script SRC='/Editor/scripts/innovaeditor.js' TYPE="text/javascript"></script>
<script TYPE="text/javascript">
function ValidateForm(myForm) {
  if (myForm.TheContent.value=="") {
    alert("Please enter text information");
    return false;
  } else {
    return true;
  }
}
</SCRIPT>
<head>
</head>

<body>
<form action="" method="get" onsubmit="return ValidateForm(this)">
  <table width="75%" border="1">
    <tr>
      <td>Text Info</td>
      <td><textarea id="TheContent" name="TheContent" rows=10 cols=48></textarea>
        <script>
            var oEdit1 = new InnovaEditor("oEdit1");
            /***************************************************
                  ENABLE ASSET MANAGER ADD-ON
            ***************************************************/
            oEdit1.cmdAssetManager = "modalDialogShow('/Editor/assetmanager/assetmanager.asp',640,465)"; //Command to open the Asset Manager add-on.
            oEdit1.css="/sitestyles.css"
                oEdit1.arrStyle = [["BODY",true,"","padding:20px;background-color: white;"]];            
            oEdit1.useDIV=false
                oEdit1.features=["ForeColor","|","Numbering","Bullets","|","Indent","Outdent","Line","Paragraph","FontSize","|","Bold","Italic","Underline"];
            oEdit1.width="100%"
                  oEdit1.REPLACE("TheContent");//Specify the id of the textarea here
      </script></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></td>
    </tr>
