FCKeditorAPI in dialogs

Hello, I would know how to access the FCKeditroAPI library from a dialog. I have created a plugin with an editor and I can't get the value of it.

I'm lost, any suggestion will be appreciated.

Miguel.

Re: FCKeditorAPI in dialogs

Since I can't get FCKeditorAPI in a dialog. I have solved my problem like this:

var oEditor = null;

function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance ) {
oEditor = editorInstance;
}

So that I have an editor in a dialog and I can get its value.

Miguel.

The FCKeditorAPI inside a dialog works for me just like in any other page, I don't have any problem with it.

Ok, so I will tell you some extra information.

My dialog contains a div which turns its visibility on / off, and that's div contains an iframe with the editor. It shouldn't affect because I wanted to use it inside iframe contents.

What I have now and works is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../../../fckeditor.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post" target="_blank">
    <script type="text/javascript">

      <!--
      // Automatically calculates the editor base path based on the _samples directory.
      // This is usefull only for these samples. A real application should use something like this:
      // oFCKeditor.BasePath = '/fckeditor/' ;   // '/fckeditor/' is the default value.
      //var sBasePath = document.location.pathname.substring(0, document.location.pathname.lastIndexOf('/myeditor/')) ;
      var sBasePath = '/gt_web/';
      var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('pagesizeeditor') ;
      oFCKeditor.BasePath = sBasePath;
      oFCKeditor.Height = 300;
      oFCKeditor.Width = 800;
      // Set the custom configurations file path (in this way the original file is mantained).
      oFCKeditor.Config['CustomConfigurationsPath'] = sBasePath + 'myeditor/plugins/pagesize/pagesizeeditor/pagesizeeditor.config.js?' + ( new Date() * 1 );

      // Let's use a custom toolbar for this editor.
      oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet = 'PageSizeEditorToolbar';

      oFCKeditor.Value = '';
      oFCKeditor.Create();
      //-->

      var oEditor = null;

      function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance ) {
         oEditor = editorInstance;
      }

    </script>
</form>

</body>
</html>

Before it, I had a method called on body onload method that contained this line:

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance("pagesizeeditor");

The main purpose of it is to store the editor in oEditor var to call GetXHTML() from dialog.
