I'll add one more thing to this - I also tried using onActivate to
override the data I'm sending, like this:
<script>
var dataToSend = "initialValue";
$('#id_preview_link').cluetip(
{
ajaxSettings: {dataType:'html',
type:'POST',
onActivate: function(e) { dataToSend = "zzz"; return
true; },
data:{'markup':dataToSend)}
}
}
)
</script>
So I'm just trying to override the data sent in the post by setting
dataToSend to "zz". However I still find that the value "initialValue"
is sent in the post, rather than "zzz". Karl, if you have a second
could you comment? I'm thinking there must be something obvious I'm
missing here.
Again, the basic thing I am doing is just trying to allow the user to
type into a textarea and then send what they've typed in the cluetip's
post, the above is just my attempt to debug why I can't send the new
value that's in the textarea after the user types into it.
