ExecCommand, insertlink and Firefox

Reply Quote

Hi,

I'm trying to insert links from an external dropdown into the editor. I'm using editor.ExecCommand('insertlink', false, 'MyUrl') .
It works fine in IE but in Firefox, it opens the Link popup instead of pasting my link....

Is there any workaround or fix for this issue ?

Thank you,

Vincent

Vincent,

Can you use PasteHTML API?

PasteHTML()

This method is used for pasting the specified HTML into a range within a editor document. If anything is selected, the selection is replaced with the new HTML and text.

Example:

// get the cute editor instance
var editor1 = document.getElementById('<% = Editor1.ClientID%>');

// pasting the specified HTML into a range within a editor document
editor1.pasteHTML("<a href='http://yahoo.com'>Hello World</a>");

Hi Adam,
Thanks for your answer.

This is basically what I did. I needed to get current selection as well, so here is the trick :

//Function to get current selection in IE (6 & 7) and Firefox (2.0)
function getSel() {
    var editor = document.getElementById('CE_Editor1_ID');
    var txt = editor.GetSelection();
     if(txt == '[object]') {
       //In IE we need this trick
        txt = txt.createRange().text;
     }
    return txt;
}
