FCKEditor AJAX problem - WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Status code 500

Description

When FCKEditor appears on an aspx / ASP.Net page which also uses an UpdatePanel, an error sometimes occurs on postback. The error text is as follows: WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: Status code 500

The error occurs when the FCKEditor control has content rendered in HTML.

I found the following fix at ASP.Net's forum...

I resolved it by adding ValidateRequest="false" in the tag <%@ Page ...%>

The page declaration can be set as follows... <%@ Page Language="VB" CodeFile="blah.aspx.vb" Inherits="blah" ValidateRequest="false" %>

After a little delving, I've discovered "why" the ValidateRequest=False trick works (for FCKEditor in an UpdatePanel). First of all, note the following about ValidateRequest:

Request validation, a feature of ASP.NET since version 1.1, prevents the server from accepting content containing un-encoded HTML. (from http://www.asp.net/learn/whitepapers/request-validation/)

I found that if my FCKEditor contains HTML then it fails the postback. I'm guessing that the FCKEditor does not pass "un-encoded HTML" back when it postsback. When I remove the HTML content from my FCKEditor, the error does not occur.

Are you using the latest versions of the .net component and the FCKeditor core?

That problem was fixed long ago in #294

Replying to alfonsoml:

Yes I'm using latest version of FCKEditor. This with ASP.Net 3.5.

Further testing, I've found that the error occurs with postbacks from LinkButtons rather than postbacks from Buttons and other controls.

I've attached a sample project, if you'd like to test it.

There is a new ASP.NET control available: CKEditor for ASP.NET. The old control (FCKeditor.Net) is no longer maintained, so I'm closing the ticket. In the new CKEditor control we have solved many issues with ASP.NET AJAX.

However, if you still find a similar bug in CKEditor 3.x, please create a new ticket for it.
