How to validate Enhanced Rich Text Field on PreSaveAction call in my SP 2010 list form's newform.aspx. I tried with JavaScript but it didn't work.

I followed Marc's blog here

But the issue is, once it's validated successfully, I delete the text contents again and re-enter the text contents again and tried to validate and it failed! Also the field needs to be mandatory field.

  • How did you retrieve the rich text content in PreSaveAction?

  • $("textarea[Title='Detailed Status']").closest("span").find("iframe[Title='Rich Text Editor']").blur(function(){ alert($(this).contents().find("body").html()); });

Try using this code

$("td.ms-formlabel h3.ms-standardheader nobr:contains('Field Name')").parent().parent().parent().find("div.ms-inputBox div.ms-rtestate-write").text()

Replace the 'Field Name' token with column display name

  • var detailedStatusTxtValue = $("td.ms-formlabel h3.ms-standardheader nobr:contains('detailed Status')").parent().parent().parent().find("div.ms-inputBox div.ms-rtestate-write").text(); alert(detailedStatusTxtValue + ' is the current detailed status value '); if(detailedStatusTxtValue == null ) { alert('detailedStatusTxtValue Value is mandatory!'); return false; } else { alert('detailedStatusTxtValue is not null'); //return true; } and as the result, i got the message "is the current detailed status" value "

  • instead of entering in the if loop, it enters inside the not null block and get the result as --------------------------- Message from webpage --------------------------- detailedStatusTxtValue is not null --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

  • instead of detailedStatusTxtValue == null use detailedStatusTxtValue == "" and check it.
