I'm trying to insert into CE from using the PasteHTML function.  InsertHTML works correctly, but I need the text to be instered at the cursor location.  When I issues something as simple as obj_Editor1.PasteHTML("This is a test"); I receive Object doesn't support this property or method.

 

Thanks in advance

Rauco,

 

Which version of CuteEditor are you using?

 

What's your Editor ID?

 

 

I'm using version 4.2.  This is the code I use to create the object:

 

<%
 Dim objEditor
 Set objEditor = New CuteEditor
 objEditor.ID = "Editor1"
  ....

For the version 4.2, please use the following JavaScript API:

 

obj_Editor1.insertHTML('This is a test!')

 

 

That works correctly, but inserts at the beginning of text, not at the cursor.  Is there a command that I can precede that with to tell it to insert at cursor position?

Will upgrading fix this problem?  I really need this to insert at cursor position for a custom image gallery.

Rauco,

 

I just made another test. obj_Editor1.insertHTML('This is a test!') inserts the text at the cursor position.  I am using the version 4.2.

 

>>Will upgrading fix this problem?

 

Yes, please check the following JavaScript API example:

 

 

 

I'll try the new version.  I tried again and it still inserts at the beginning of the text, both from the same page or from the popup window that I eventually want to use.

 

Ok, still struggling.  I've upgraded to version 5.1 and have replaced insertHTML with PasteHTML.  Works fine but it still inserts at the beginning of the document from the popup window I've created.  I'm assuming that it's a loss of focus.  Is there any way around this?  Also, is there a good downloadable reference with all the methods such as pasteHTML?

 

Thanks

I'm having the same problem in that we're trying to allow text from a list box to be inserted into the html control.  Since we're selecting text out of the listbox the cuteeditor is losing focus.  When I use a simple textbox I can add an attribute (like onclick) to store off the editbox cursor so I can insert in the correct place after selecting.  I tried to do the same thing with the cuteeditor and the click doesn't occur in the document window, just the tool and page area of the cuteeditor. 
 
Could you provide an example of how to insert text from a second control (via doubleclick) into the cursor pos (which goes away during the doubleclick) of the cuteeditor?  Your example given works fine in that the button doesn't cause the editor to lose focus from what I could tell...
 
Thanks!

Can you try use the "Code Snippet" dropdown menu?

 

 

I think that was discussed above, and that does indeed work.  However, my problem (and it sounds like his as well) is that we have the text in a control outside of the editor, not in the toolbar.

 

It would be like clicking a position in the editor, then clicking in the "Try click the "get HTML" button" text box, then pressing the "insert HTML button".  Since the editor has lost focus, the insert occurs at the beginning of the text...  In my case, doubleclicking in a listbox changes the focus.  I need a way to save the document cursor instead of the editor cursor.  I can't seem to get the document to attach an onclick attribute to in server code...

 

Does that make it clearer?
