OnClientSubmit - Stop Submission

[Dan Ehrmann]

I am performing a test on the editor content in OnClientSubmit. I would like to prevent the submit if the test fails. Is it possible to do this?

replying to myself...

I should add that I have resolved this by replacing the __doPostBack function to add my test. I just wonder if there is a way to do this without this extra code.

$(document).ready(function () {

    var originalDoPostBack = __doPostBack;
    __doPostBack = function (target, args) {
        if (hasBadContent(editor.get_html(false))) {
            return;
        }
        originalDoPostBack(target, args);
    }

Hello Dan,

The proper approach is using a CustomValidator control, which cancels the submit upon to implemented logic.  The editor by itself cannot cancel the submitting and such behavior would be faulty.

I suggest examining this live example which demonstrates the integration of the CustomValidator with the RadEditor control.
