Editor - img absolute position not working

[Dustin]

Setting an img to absolute positioning does not work in your editor. I had to resort to jquery ui draggable using the iframeFix property to accomplish this. Is this a bug in your editor or can you provide a way to allow this functionality?

Hi Dustin,

If you need to insert images with additional attributes or styles, you can use a custom popup tool with more text fields, instead of the default one.

Let me clarify. I already have a custom tool to set the position of an img to absolute. But once the img is set to absolute you can not drag the img around, at all. It seems like your Editor is intercepting the mouse events and preventing you from dragging around the img, but this is just a guess. LIke I said I had to use the jQuery UI draggable widget and use iframFix property of that widget for it to work.

This functionality works in your Ajax RadEditor without the need of the jQuery draggable widget and that too uses iFrames.

Any response would be nice????

Hello Dustin,

Thanks for the clarification about your scenario. Actually, the functionality that you observe in RadEditor, relies on native browser behavior and works only in IE. You can achieve the same in the Kendo UI Editor by executing

var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor");
editor.document.execCommand("2D-Position", true, true);

Afterwards, you will be able to drag the absolutely positioned images. The above statement can be executed unconditionally before inserting the images via your custom tool.

That worked. Thank you. You guys should add this to your documentation.
