    CuteEditor - IE 11 Problem: Cannot get passed information from editor content in custom dialog form with IE 11

    Reply Quote

    I use this function (var newwin = editor.ShowDialog(null, mURL, editor, mSize);)  to open a custom dialog window. 

     

    In dialog form, I use function as bellow to get text selection from editor control. It works fine. 

    But in IE 11, argument "window" is not a object. So I cannot get selected text in editor.

     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    var editor = Window_GetDialogArguments(window); 

     

     function Window_GetDialogArguments(win) {

                        var top = win.top;

                        try {

                            var opener = top.opener;

                            if (opener && opener.document._dialog_arguments)

                                return opener.document._dialog_arguments;

                        }

                        catch (x) {

                        }

                        if (top.document._dialog_arguments)

                            return top.document._dialog_arguments;

                        if (top.dialogArguments)

                            return top.dialogArguments;

                        return top.document._dialog_arguments;

       }

    Hi,

     

    I just checked the demo http://cutesoft.net/example/howto/AddDialogs/cs/create_a_custom_dialog.aspx  on IE11, it works fine. can you try it too? if the demo works for you, then please use the same method on your own page and try again.

     

    Regards,

     Hi Ken:
    Thanks for the demo code. Using this code, it inserts the new text from the dialog window by replacing the existing highlighted text in the parent window. We need to pass the highlighted text from the parent window to the dialog window and then insert the new text while keeping the highlighted text .

    Hi Ken:


    Thanks for the code. It works in IE11. 

     

    But it is not working  in  IE10 and IE9. I also tried in your demo site. The inserted text always goes top of the editor's content. 

     

    Any advice?

    Hi wzou,

     

    Can you try the demo page I provided directly? Does it get the same problem too? It works fine on my IE10.

    Hi Ken,

     

    I tried your page is works in IE10.

     

    The problem is that my popup dialog form is aspx page and has postpack action. After postback, the dialog window cannot keep the position of editor's content. This happened in IE10 and IE9. Other browsers are worked fine.

    Hi wzou,

     

    Can you create the example which can reproduce this issue and send it to Kenneth@CuteSoft.net? So I can check it directly on my end.

    Hi Ken,

     

    Finally I got it works in IE10. I missed "editor.FocusDocument();" from your code.

     

    Thank you!
