Rich Text Control

Category: Server Side JavaScript
Platform: Windows
Release: 8.5.2
Role: Developer
Tags: rich text control requestScope.body NotesMIMEEntity
Replies: 2

Have a Rich Text control bound to requestScope.Body. Using code similar to this (see below) to populate my Rich Text control:

var doc:NotesDocument = currentDocument.getDocument();

if (doc.hasItem("body")) {

	var entity:NotesMIMEEntity = doc.getMIMEEntity("body");

	if (entity != null) {

		requestScope.Body = entity.getContentAsText();

This works great, however... I need to grab the contents of my Rich Text control and do something with it. I have a test button on the XPage with simple code:

var body:com.ibm.xsp.http.MimeMultipart = requestScope.Body;
print(body.getHTML())

This should print the HTML from my Rich Text control to the console. I get an error from the button:

Exception

Error while executing JavaScript action expression
Script interpreter error, line=2, col=12: 'body' is null

JavaScript code

   1: var body:com.ibm.xsp.http.MimeMultipart = requestScope.Body;
   2: print(body.getHTML())

Note - If I manually type something into my Rich Text control my button works great. It's just when I try to dynamically set the contents of my Rich Text control using requestScope.body = entity.getContentAsText(); that I get the error. The code I'm using is sample code right from IBM. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade my server to 8.5.3 with upgrade pack 1? Thanks in advance...

Re: Rich Text Control

Isn't there anyone out there that has come across this issue? Do I need to scrap the Rich Text control completely and go with TinyMCE custom control?

Re: Rich Text Control

From your code snippet it looks like you store a string in requestScope.

A string is not a mime entity.
