Dynamically add content to editor area

Hi,

I am using FCKEditor to allow people to design an email template. I want people to be able to insert certain placeholders into the email content.

I was planning on having these placeholders displayed on the page along with FCKEditor and when clicked, call a javascript function which would add them to the current cursor position within the editor area.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks
Tom

Re: Dynamically add content to editor area

I will let you work out the customization for what you are trying to do but here is an example. I use hungarian notation for readability. This also belongs outside the Editor on the page.

function setContent (sContent)
{
    var oEditor = FCKEditorAPI.GetInstance ('your instance name here');
    oEditor.SetHTML (sContent);
}

Now be certain it is loaded otherwise you will need to set a global that triggers on load to call this again incase it didn't work the first time.
