I dont know where/if these things are posted, but there should be a place to post solutions to common issues (beyond the documentation).
I wanted to be able to have access to the DOM element that is selected in the cute editor for IE, FF, Chrome. I couldn't find it in the forum which I thought was strange. With a bit of effort I updated some code I found to to accomodate this. I wasnt sure about a few of the checks and balances so I left them in there. Feel free to give this efficiency tweaks if you are more versed in this product.
Otherwise I hope it can help someone.
//returns selected dom element from editor
function getSelectedElement()
{
var editor = document.getElementById(EditorAdsId);
var rng=null,html;
// get the active editor document
var editdoc = editor.GetDocument();
// get the active editor window
var editwin = editor.GetWindow();
if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange)
{
rng=editdoc.selection.createRange();
if( rng.htmlText )
{
html=rng.parentElement();
}
else if(rng.length >= 1)//not sure about this code dday
{
html=rng.item(0).parentElement();
}
}
else if (window.getSelection)
{
rng=editwin.getSelection();
if (rng.rangeCount > 0 && window.XMLSerializer)
{
rng=rng.getRangeAt(0);
html = rng.startContainer.parentNode;
}
}
return html;
}
