How can I get the nearest range to a set of coordinates?

Hi,

I'm trying to allow people to drag and drop elements from the surrounding web page in to CKEditor. This functionality is already available in firefox but not in IE. What I plan to do is:

It's the last step which I am not quite clear about. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi,

I am having exactly same requirement. Just wanted to check if anyone has achieved this functionality and how?

I am tried using insertHtml but it inserts the element where the cursor / caret is currently placed in the editor and not where (exactly on this line) the element is dropped!

Thanks in advance...

Regards,
Monish.

I don't know any method that will meet all your needs, but there's a very interesting one that may help: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... tFromPoint

e.g.:

function elementFromPoint( doc, mouse ) {
    return new CKEDITOR.dom.element( doc.$.elementFromPoint( mouse.x, mouse.y ) );
}
