Parsing content to FCKeditor

Look at the API examples that came with the package. It seems those button examples will do what you're asking about. You'll have to intercept the string in the popup, and then call the parent.document.forms[0].fieldName.value to get the data, and then push it back there when your done. Load the data in the popup with an onload function (you can even call it after the editor loads to make sure its objects are in the DOM).

There is an init variable in all the sample pages

oFCKeditor.Value

do something like

oFCKeditor.Value = parent.document.forms[0].yourElementName.value
(where yourElementName is the name of the form element.. you can also use opener.document. etc )


Then to save it back to the opener window by creating a button which calls a function like

function setTheMotherElement(){
parent.document.forms[0].yourElementName.value = GetContents();

window.close() // close this one etc..

}

I do this in the current XObase system using the spaw editor (since its not supported by Firefox) so I can use a little editor button to open a new editor window depending on whether or not the browser supports it, get the stuff, and then move it back to the mother-window form element that called it.

However this thing supports so many browsers, you can set it to whatever size.. infinitley customize the tool bars (even start up with them closed), that I don't see the point in not using it inline.

It loads sort of slow is my main complaint. If you had a data type that had 3-4 instances of this thing which has to load.. its a got some serious overhead. If under load testing this is an issue, I may go back to the popup window thing like you're trying to do.
