editor insert element

Can someone tell me why the output of the following code is 'text' when i think it should be 'radio'.

Thanks

 editor = this.getParentEditor();
element = editor.document.createElement( 'input' );
element.setAttribute( 'type', 'radio' );   // set type as radio
editor.insertElement( element );
var y = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
alert("y[0] : " + y[0].getAttribute('type'));  // the output i get here is = 'y[0] : text'

Re: editor insert element

editor.document is different than just document

Re: editor insert element

when you do document.getElementsByTagName you are working on the current document, not on CKEditor, so you have to use editor.document (or maybe editor.document.$, I really haven't tested, but as I said, your problem is that you are using two different documents)
