What a great piece of software!

 

I have a question that's been asked several times in this forum, but I didn't understand the responses, so I'll try to be more specific:

 

1. I've created a custom button:

 

editor.CustomAddons = "<img title=""Custom Addons"" class=""button"" onclick=""sendText()"" ...

 

2. As you can see, this button calls a javascript function named sendText()

 

What I need to do is grab the editor's text in that javascript function, but I don't understand how to reference it. Here's what I DO know:

I've pretty much just copied the sample "simple.asp", so...
- the page contains a form named "theForm"
- the form contains a table with ID="Table1"
- that table contains another table with ID="Table2"
- that table contains a td with ID=ContentPane
- this td contains the editor
- as far as I know, the editor doesn't have a "name", but editor.ID = "Editor1"

So, can you tell me exactly what my javascript function should look like? I've tried this, but to no avail:

function sendText() {
 var editor=document.getElementById("Editor1");
 alert(editor.text);
}

Many thanks in advance, and thanks again for such a great product!

Cheers,
Matt Stuehler

 

 

My apologies!

 

After a more thorough search, I found exactly the answer I needed in a post from Adam:

function getHTML() {
 
 //Editor1 is the ID of the Editor
 var editor = document.getElementById("Editor1_editBox");
 alert(editor.innerHTML);

}

I didn't know about that "_editBox" part!

Thanks Adam!

 

 

This doesn't seem to work anymore in v5.3. Has something changed?

krisryden,

 

 

 

mobasoft:

pffft - that doesn't work - you should TRY the code first, or at least come back here and comment that it doesn't work - I sure wish that the documentation was up to snuff.

 

If you are using version 6.0 you should use the following JavaScript API:

 

 

Getting the CuteEditor Instance

In order to find the active editor, you would type: 

// get the cute editor instance

var editor1 = document.getElementById('CE_Editor1_ID');

Getting the Active Editor Window

In order to find the active editor window, you would type: 

// get the active editor window

var editwin = editor1.GetWindow();

Getting the Active Editor Document

In order to find the active editor document, you would type:

// get the active editor document

var editdoc = editor1.GetDocument();

 

Getting the Active Editor Selection

In order to find the active editor selection, you would type:

// get the active editor selection

var sel = editor1.GetSelection();
