RE: cursor position

yea i saw some stuff on the selection. The thing is the replace thing that does come with fckeditor puts the cursor back. I tried to do it the same method but couldnt get it to work so instead i just got the contents and did a replace. As this is hardcoded stuff, then i set the contents with sethtml i believe but the cursor goes the beginning instead of the end.

Question though, what is the node.

FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance("FCKeditor").Selection.MoveToAncestorNode(nodeTagName);

nodeTagName, what would that be. Maybe i could set a node at the end or something and move the cursor to it.

unless there is another way to do this. Basically i want to change text on the fly, so your typing and when you type something it will check it and then change and i want to continue to type without any flaws. Trying to figure out how i can do this though.

RE: cursor position

nodeTagName would be a tagName like "A", "SPAN", ... (must be Upper Case)

RE: cursor position

var oEditor = window.parent.InnerDialogLoaded() ;

What does that do? I have a button in fckeditor and it just does the function from there instead of opening a new page. Is there a way to get the parentnode? That way i can just use the replaceall function.

RE: cursor position

Finally got it to work. I guess i have to use nodes for some reason. oEditor.Selection.Collapse(false); and i did that which sets it to the end so you can continue to write.

RE: cursor position

doing it the way i have it is too slow. Is there a way to just replace the text, setHTML after then set the cursor back?

Basically use like lastchild or something and select the lastchild and then move the cursor there.

I tried some thing but cant get it to work.

I did window.FCK.EditorDocument.body.lastChild. This works ok. But now how do i select it? I tried a bunch of different things and cant seem to get it.

var oLastChild = FCK.EditorDocument.body.lastChild;
????.Selection.SelectNode(oLastChild);

Not sure what goes in the ????. Little confused on that part.

RE: cursor position

I tried the following javascript function and it is working with me

<script language=javascript>
function InsertHTML(FCKEditorName,TextToInsert)
{

// Get the editor instance that we want to interact with.
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(FCKEditorName) ;

// Check the active editing mode.
if ( oEditor.EditMode == FCK_EDITMODE_WYSIWYG )
{
// Insert the desired HTML.
oEditor.InsertHtml( TextToInsert ) ;
}
else
alert( 'You must be on WYSIWYG mode!' ) ;
}
</script>

<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Add" ONCLICK="InsertHTML('Para',this.form.aText.value);" id=button2 name=button2>

Where Para is the name of the FCKeditor and aText contains the text you want to insert.

Hope it works...

RE: cursor position

InsertHtml() works fine on Firefox. Text is always inserted where the cursor is.

However on IE (6&7) text is inserted at the beginning of the editor accessible or apparent area. Usually that is the beggining of the text, but when there are hidden areas (using positioning or display attributes) the insert is done at the top visible location and not where the cursor is.

Could't find a workaround, so far...
