I keep receiving an 'Entry is Required' error when attempting to post or edit a blog entry. 

Initially thinking that maybe I've got some custom code causing the exception, I decided to try to duplicate it with a fresh DNN deployment.

Here's the scenario. 

  • I'm using DNN 4.9.0 source and Blog 3.5.1 (source) with absolutely no other site changes. 
  • I set up the blog with basic settings (Name, Brief Description, Make Public, Allow Users to Comment).
  • I add an initial entry (Title, Brief Summary, and Entry).  I noticed that the Brief Summary has to have text in it due to the FCKEditor wanting to insert <p>&#160;</p>, but I understand why that is.   Everything saves fine and the blog is displayed correctly.

The problems start occuring when I attempt to edit the blog.  If I update the Entry text and save it, no errors are thrown but the text isn't updated.  Likewise, when I try to create a new entry, I fill out the title, summary, and entry, but recieve an "Entry is Required" error upon save.

So, it appears to me that the content of the FCKEditor isn't being detected on either Edit Entry or Add Entry (after the first addition). 

Can you please help me get to the bottom of this as the Blog is one of the final pieces of a project that has been going on for months.  I'm almost done, but really need to get this working.

 

Thanks!

Ok, so I'm a little embarrased that 30 seconds after posting this, I decided to check to see if the issue was occuring in IE... and it isn't!

It only appears to be happening in Firefox. I'm running 3.0.5 (latest and 'greatest').  I've always been a big believed in Firefox 'Gets It" and IE 'Doesn't', but maybe this is one for the record books. 

Anybody else having issues with Firefox and the FCKEditor?

Ok, so I stand corrected (again).  It doesn't look like its entirely FireFox's fault.  Firebug might have something to do with it.  I disabled Firebug and the problem went away.  I then re-enabled it and the problem came back. 

I then deactivated Consol logging, JavaScript debugging, and network Monitoring (in Firebug) and the problem went away again.  Through some trial and error I started turning things back on in somewhat random fashion but havn't been able to narrow down the issue.

Suffice it to say, I don't know what was causing it but it seems to be gone (for now). 

This probably isn't the right forum for this (i realize it now), but hopefully it will help somebody else who might have the same "weirdness" going on.

Hi Jason,

thank you for posting. I was not aware of some kind of interaction between FireBug and the page validation.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa
