How to check if the content have be changed by user

[Emanuel Dejanu <emanuel@…>]

Hi,

Is there a easy/fast way to know if user have change the content? Now I use:

var g_strOriginalText = g_editor.getInnerHTML();

function OnSave?() {

var strHTML = g_editor.getInnerHTML(); if (strHTML != strOriginalText)

DoSaving?();

}

but this is very slow. I will like a function g_editor.IsDirty?().

I dont get it. When do you want to check ? IMO, the easiest way is to compare the value and the defaultValue of your textarea onsubmit

<script type="text/javascript">
function check(frm)
{
 var T = frm.elements['I_AM_THE_XINHA_TEXTAREA'];
 if ( T.value == T.defaultValue )
 {
  alert('No change to commit');
  return false;
 }
 return true;
}
</script>

<form onsubmit="return check(this);">
<textarea id="I_AM_THE_XINHA_TEXTAREA">

dohh, where is my post ??? let's try again :p

<script type="text/javascript">
function check(frm)
{
 var T = frm.elements['I_AM_THE_XINHA_TEXTAREA'];
 if ( T.value == T.defaultValue )
 {
  alert('No change to commit');
  return false;
 }
 return true;
}
</script>

<form onsubmit="return check(this);">
<textarea id="I_AM_THE_XINHA_TEXTAREA"></textarea>
</form>
