Question

I\'ve integrated CKEditor 3 (formerly FCKEditor) into my asp.net MVC (v3 to be specific) application. I have a RequiredAttribute in my model for the field that needs the edi

For me this code does the trick, it could probably be optimized a bit but it works:

$('#newsForm').submit(function (event) {
     var editor = $('#Body').ckeditorGet();
     editor.updateElement();
     $(this).validate().form();
});

Because I don't know in which order the eventhandlers for submit runs I make sure to both update the value and refresh the validation result.

EDIT: Updated solution

<script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#Body').ckeditor();
        $('#newsForm').bind('submit', onFirstSubmit);
    });

    function onFirstSubmit(event) {
        var editor = $('#Body').ckeditorGet();
        editor.updateElement();
        $(this).validate().form();
        $(this).unbind('submit', onFirstSubmit).submit();
    }

    //]]>
</script>
