I have an asp button I want to apply some javascript to.

I have this in the page head:

<script type="text/javascript">
function myOnSubmitEventHandler() {
document.getElementById('editor1').EscapeUNICODE = true;
document.getElementById('xhtml1').value =
document.getElementById('editor1').value;
}
</script>


and this on the page:

<asp:Button onclick="myOnSubmitEventHandler()" id=Button_Save
runat="server" Text="Save Changes">


But this returns an error of:


Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'myOnSubmitEventHandler' is not a member of
'ASP.editPage_aspx'.

Do I have to do something to 'register' the javascript?

Ah...OK, not so hard:

Button_Save.Attributes.Add("onclick", "myOnSubmitEventHandler();")

Got time for a follow-up?

This javascript is supposed to take the text from an OBJECT (x-standard html
editor) and input it into a textarea that I can then grab via the
codebehind.
The problem is that it doesn't work. Is thie issue that the javascript can't
execute in time for the text to be placed in the textarea before it get's
send back via the postback?
