Why does this Javascript inside a custom Button Function not work?

[Yavuz Bogazci]

Hi all,

i have this custom Button function which works fine for me. Bu now i want to extend this function with one check. I want to check if the inserted Div already exists and stop processing.

Here is my code:

Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["Inhaltsverzeichnis"] = function(commandName, editor, args)
{
  if (document.getElementById("toc")) {
    alert('Es existiert bereits ein Inhaltsverzeichnis-Tag im Content-Bereich!');
  }
  else {
    editor.pasteHtml('Inhaltsverzeichnis<br /><br /><div id="toc">-Inhaltsverzeichnis-</div><br /><br />');
    alert('Inhaltsverzeichnis wurde erfolgreich hinzugefuegt!');
  }
};

The div with the id = toc definitly exists, but my code always goes to the Else part of the if statement. Whats wrong?

thank you
yavuz

Hello Yavuz ,

The reason for this issue is that you need to use the document object of the RadEditor and not the one of the page where the editor is loaded.

For example:
If you are using RadEditor for MOSS 4.x

var doc  = editor.GetDocument();
doc.getElementById("toc");

If you are using RadEditor for MOSS 5.x

var doc  = editor.get_document();
doc.getElementById("toc");

Kind regards,
