eventhandler for Html area

[Christian Ungerboeck]

Hello,

I intend to fire an event if the user changes some content in the design and html mode, too by using code like this:

 OnKeyDownTextEditorHandler = function (e)
{  
//do some stuff
};

myEditor.attachEventHandler("onkeydown", OnKeyDownTextEditorHandler);

This is working fine for the design mode but in the Html mode there is no event fireing anymore. I found some old posts, telling u have to find the editor in the dom and append the event manually.This solution can not be the only one. There has to be a buildin editor feature which solves that issue because it is usual and often needed I guess. Maybe someone can give me a hint.

thank u

Hello Christian,

If you want to attach an event handler to Html mode you should get a reference to the textarea in this mode with

 var textarea = editor.get_textArea();

and after that to attach the desired event handlers to it, e.g.

 textarea.attachEvent("onkeydown", function);
 textarea.attachEvent("onclick", function);

etc.

You can use the get_mode method which returns the current mode.
