It probably seems that I am using this list as my first line of defense, since it's been fairly inactive between my posts! But honestly, I have spent hours and hours and hours in issue queue, IRC (including ##javascript #jquery), Google, source code, handbook pages... I feel like the guy amongst the trees looking for a forest. Part of this is documented at http://drupal.org/node/1106358, for background...the last 2 or 3 responses being most applicable. Basically, I am doing a hook_form_alter and adding a #suffix to the node edit form body to provide a ctools link beneath the body box that results in a modal form being loaded during the creation of a node, if the link is clicked. This works fine, including putting a form in the modal window inside a table (yes, tabular data). The issue is that the contents of the body text area at that point are needed by my module in order to send back the proper content in the modal window, and I can't seem to get that information back to Drupal. I do -have- the data...I get it via js from the CKEDITOR object with a getdata() call. I suspect there is some way to then give it to ctools to pass back with its ajax call, but cannot find an example. What I've tried, in lieu of that, is to add it onto the url that the link is calling. I discovered that even though ctools is using a click handler to process the link, "onclick" still works, executes first, and does not interfere with or prevent ctools from performing its stuff once finished. So, I changed the link to have an onclick that simply puts the body text into this.sort, making the url be appended by ?body=xxxx I can't seem to discover if that's viable, and if so, what to do at that point, as it doesn't appear to be in $_GET, $_POST, or available by changing the ctools callback page arguments from array(1) to array(1,2).
