compare preEdit and postEdit data

crush123

i have an editor instance with an ajax object source, where i want to call a function if (and only if) the email address has been changed

i can log the json data for preEdit and postEdit, but is it possible to compare, (and if so is it the best way) ?

actually, in answer to my own question, I think i want to be comparing InitEdit and PostEdit.

var emailbefore;

editor
    .on( 'initEdit', function ( e, node, data ) {
     emailbefore = data.tblmembers.EmailAddress1;
    })
    .on( 'postEdit', function ( e, json, data ) {
     if (emailbefore == data.tblmembers.EmailAddress1) {
        console.log('EMAIL IS THE SAME');
     } else {
        console.log('EMAIL HAS CHANGED');
     }
});

You are correct - initEdit is the event to use to get the value when editing is started. The preEdit naming choice is a little poor (legacy).
