Add Text to IFRAME (fckeditor)

Is it possible to add code or text to the editor after it loads through javascript? For example, I have a list of common links for my website that i have put in a select box and then when one is selected from the dropdown it is inserted into the fckeditor (iframe).

Is this possible? If so how do you do it? Really all I need is how to update the Iframe with the code.

Thanks

Hi!

I havent done this, but red that you can have a dropdown with common links, that, when choosen, are pasted into the editor.

Isnt that what you want to do?
(cant find where I red it )

That is exactly what I am trying to do. Does anyone else have an idea of how to do this?

It sounds like you'll need to create a plugin.
Download a plugin and review the source, or look at one of the sample plugins that came with FCKeditor to see how to do this.

THanks! That sample was a lot of help. It is nice not to have to reinvent the wheel. I had a simple insert into the hidden javascript field but couldn't figure out how to get the data out of the Iframe.

Thanks for your help
