add code to onsubmit handler
I am currently making a wysiwyg editor for an application, and trying to keep it as unobtrusive as I can.
the type of code I keep running into (which does work) looks like.
this code takes the value of the wysiwyg_editor and puts it into the wyswyg_input to be sumbitted by a form. The i value is saying which wysiwyg_editor on the page it is because i loop through every one and assign this when they are created.
This code just is hard for me follow and although it does work i am looking for a better way of doing it.

//set to always drop content into input box onsubmit;
document.getElementById('wysiwyg_input:'+i).form.onsubmit = (
function(i,old_onsubmit) {
return function(){
if(document.getElementById('wysiwyg_input:'+i))
document.getElementById('wysiwyg_input:'+i).value = document.getElementById('wysiwyg_editor:'+i).innerHTML;
if(old_onsubmit) old_onsubmit();
}
}

it makes it easier to put it in an outside function and clean up the main script.
Thank you for pointing me in the right directions
