[Solved] How to insert text in editor using javascript

[Jane]

I would like to insert some text using javascript in my RadEditor (for SPS 2003). How do I do that?

E.g. I've collected some information that should be displayed for the user in the text editor and they are allowed to change this when editing the text

It's probably simple, but I don't know how in this editor...

Kind regards,
Ladyhawke

Hi Jane,

You can paste some Text into RadEditor using the editor's PasteHtml function e.g.

var editor = <%=RadEditor1.ClientID %>; //get a reference to the editor
editor.PasteHtml('Set the desired text to be pasted here');

I hope this helps;.

PasteHtml() method is not working.

Hi Swadeesh,

The following example will show you how to paste content into the editor's content area.

editor.pasteHtml('<span style="width:100px;border: 1px solid red;background-color: blue;color: white;">sample content</span>');

        var editor = $find("RadEditor1"); //get a reference to the editor
        editor.pasteHtml('Sample Text');

This code is working fine.
Thankyou.

Hi,

Sorry for giving confusing information.
I have a problem with RadSpell Checker.
I tested in your demo site. I got the following problem.
If i run the spell checker for a text box which is having some html text, instead of checking spelling it is executing the script.
The Text I tried.
ffdfd
<a href=www.google.com>Google</a>

This text is shown in the spell checker as link. If i click on the link i got a message Page cannot be found.
If i close the spell checker window  "Can't execute the code from the freed script" message came.

Thankyou.

Hello Swadeesh,

This is expected behavior for the Spell checker. In order for it to be more user friendly it cuts some parts of the html, which is checked and display it in the dialog. However there are cases as this one, which this is not that convenient. I logged this in our bug-tracking system and we look if there can be done anything about it.
