Insert HTML form another window?

Hi there,

is it possible to insert a html from another window?
I can insert content within the same page (like sample08). But I wanna have a popup where you can select content and insert it to the main window with FCKeditor.

e.g.:
- you open a site including the editor
- you click on a link and a popup opens
- in the popup you select the content and press a button
- the content you selected in the popup appears in the fck on the mainpage

is this possible?

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function InsertHTML()
{
    var oEditor = opener.FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('opener.args.edit.description_en') ;
    // Check the active editing mode.
    if ( opener.oEditor.EditMode == FCK_EDITMODE_WYSIWYG )
    {
        // Insert the desired HTML.
        opener.oEditor.InsertHtml( '- This is some <a href="/Test1.html">sample</a> HTML -' ) ;
    }
    else
        alert( 'You must be on WYSIWYG mode!' ) ;
}
-->
    
</script>
<div id="eMessage">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="c1" id="eButtons"><input type="button" onclick="InsertHTML();" value="Insert HTML" /></div>

It seams I have to use

var oEditor = opener.FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('args.edit.description_en') ;

instead of

var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('args.edit.description_en') ;

However, if I print out oEditor i get this:

[object Object];

var oEditor = opener.FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('args.edit.description_en') ;
alert (oEditor);

Yes, oEditor is an [object] at that point, and this is good. You can then use it to inject HTML in the editor, just like you have seen in sample08.html. Check out the InsertHTML() function there. You have just the first line of it so far. You should now call oEditor.InsertHtml().

Hi Fredck,

thx for your nice lines!
It works....

However, if I use the if-then statement from sample08 I get an error:
FCK_EDITMODE_WYSIWYG is undefined....

Hmmmm, or can I trigger FCKeditor to go in WYSIWYG-Mode with an command?

Again thank you,
mickna

Try opener.FCK_EDITMODE_WYSIWYG.
