Form validation with coldfusion and fckeditor.

[hoffmandirt]

I am attempting to use client side validation for the fckeditor to ensure that there is a value in the editor before the form is submitted. However, it looks as if the form field, "myEditor" in this case, does not get it's value set from the editor until the form has been submitted. This in turn requires the form to be submitted twice, with the first submittal displaying the "This field is required message." even when there is text in the editor. It would be nice if the value was set as the user typed or maybe when the editor loses focus. I have attached my source.
