Set innerhtml of FCKEditor

You'll probably want to have a look at http://wiki.fckeditor.net/Developer%27s ... script_API : SetHTML( html );

Not entirely sure what you're looking for here, in the normal mode of the editor you are shown what the rendered html looks like. In order to view the actual markup for the page you can click the 'Source' button on the toolbar. (big button that says Source) This shows the source of the page you are viewing and allows you to edit it.

Hi there

I've got the same problem here. I do not want to set the html contents of the editor, but the source.

So if I'm setting the source to "<p>this text</p>" it will display "this text" in normal mode, but "<p>this text</p>" in source view mode.

Thanks and bye

That's the default functionality of the editor, it should do that by default. However if it doesn't it might be because in the database you are storing the special characters as entities. If you go in the database and rather than seeing <,> you see &lt; and &gt; then that would be why you were seeing the tags in the editor. To get it to display properly you'd need to change those entities into their normal characters before setting the the text as the value of the editor.

Hi there again

I think I found the solution to the problem (or at least the cause of it).

I'm trying to set the contents of the editor with

oEditor.SetHTML(document.getElementById('text').innerHTML);

where 'text' is a textarea

<textarea id="text"><p>this text</p></textarea>

which of course is not correct , it should be

<textarea id="text">&lt;p&gt;this text&lt;/p&gt;</textarea>

If I use an alert to display the contents of this textarea, that's exacly what I get

alert(document.getElementById('text').innerHTML);

===> &lt;p&gt;this text&lt;/p&gt;

Therefore I somehow have to convert &gt; &lt and probably &amp; before inserting them into the editor.
