drag and drop into fckeditor

hi all - I have two projects I want to do this for, but subtly different.

in the first, a CMS, I want to be able to drag from a list of page name into the FCKeditor and have a link created in the FCKeditor that links to the correct URL. I can probably manage this by changing the list of names into a list of actual links, but that would mess with some other things.

in the second, an IDE, I want to drag from a list of object names and have a new object created in the FCKeditor with code such as "<cwf id='8' title='an object'></cwf>" based on the object's ID.

Anyone done anything like these before?

RE: drag and drop into fckeditor

I had noticed that link before, but thought it wasn't really appropriate for what I want.

What I need is an event which is raised when an object is dropped into FCKeditor, which I can then overload with a custom handler which will insert the actual HTML I wanted - not the external HTML which might just be a representation.

In the example you cited, I think an actual object is moved from one location to another. That's not quite what I need.

I've left this running as an background thought in my head for a few weeks. A solution is presenting itself slowly, but it will be another while before it is presentable.

I'll post it here when I finally solve it.

Re: drag and drop into fckeditor

I have a DIV with an FCKeditor on it, taking up most of the div area, and am trying to drag the div around the main window to reposition it. Now, the code I have works well, with the exception that when the window move isn't fast enough, and the mouse cursor moves over the FCKeditor, the editor takes over the mousemove event, and I don't get it back until i move out of the control...

Is there a way in the API to temporarily turn off the mouse over highlights in FCKeditor while I'm dragging the main div?

Thanks
