How do I validate openWYSIWYG in Javascript

Hi janp247,
what is the rendered HTML code for the editor that you're using? Possible post the HTML design/other code snippet?

Try change this line:
var textarea = frmAddGlossary.getElementById('txtDefinition').value;
To
var textarea = document.getElementById('txtDefinition').value;
               

Hi x com,
Hereby the rest of the HTML code.
When I use document instead of the name of the form(frmAddGlossary), it does not see the text in the textarea.

Thanks for your assistance.

<FORM method="post" id="frmAddGlossary" name="frmAddGlossary">
   
<INPUT class="inputbox" id="txtTerm" maxLength="60" onBlur="upperCase()" value="<% If Not IsEmpty(vEdit) Then Response.Write Trim(vEdit(1,0)) %>" name="txtTerm" size="100">
  
<br>    
 
<textarea id="txtDefinition"></textarea>
<script language="JavaScript">
  generate_wysiwyg('txtDefinition');
</script> 
 
<br>
    
<INPUT class="inputsubmit" type="button" id="txtAdd" name="txtAdd" value="ADD TO GLOSSARY" alt="Add" onClick="Add()">
 
</FORM>
 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
	function Add()
	{
		var textarea = document.getElementById('txtDefinition').value; 
		if ((frmAddGlossary.txtTerm.value == '') || (textarea == '' ))
		{
			alert( 'You must enter both a Term and Definition.' );
			return;
		}
		frmAddGlossary.action = 'add_glossary_script.asp';
		frmAddGlossary.submit();
	}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Select allOpen in new window

I am not getting any errors but it still does not see the text in the textarea to validate if empty or not.

Might to post the code snippet regarding the used library?
