How to pass a variable to FCKeditor plugin

Is there a way to pass a variable to FCKeditor plugin I am building that will be used for coldfusion processing within the plugin pop-up window? I am having trouble grabbing a form variable from the parent window into the pop-up page within the FCK plugin pop-up using the DOM.

code that runs javascript errors (JS error:object is null ..??)

var contentID = window.opener.document.frm_addContent.contentID.value

thanks in advance !

RE: How to pass a variable to FCKeditor plugi

Hi Andrew,

i don't know if it's the cleanest solution, but iam passing needed variables using Config:

fck init:
var fck=new FCKeditor('foo');
fck.Config['myVariable']='bar';

and than in plugin:
var oEditor = window.parent.InnerDialogLoaded();
var myVariable = FCK.Config['myVariable'];

hope that helps.

Hi,

This solution worked great - but what's about the other way round?
If I try to pass back the variable, the value won't be changed:

in the plugin:
FCK.Config['myVariable'] = 'Test';

and back in the fck init (eg. in Body onunload function of fckeditor.html):
unfortunately fck.Config['myVariable'] is still 'bar' and not 'Test' as I would expect...

any idea or hint?

thanx, j:)rgen.
