The Editor provides reference to the HTML element which represents the editor's content area. You can therefore set the content of the DOM elements in the Editor's content:
<input id="ddl" />
<textarea id="editor" rows="10" cols="30" style="width:100%; height:450px" aria-label="editor">
<div >
<div>Hello <span id="fname" contenteditable="true">___</span>,</div>
</br>
<div>your email is: <span contenteditable="true" id="email">___</span></div>
</div>
</textarea>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
// create Editor from textarea HTML element with default set of tools
$("#editor").kendoEditor({
resizable: {
content: true,
toolbar: true
}
});
//make the editor content non-editable and only some elements editable by setting the contenteditable attribute for the desired elements
var editor = $("#editor").data("kendoEditor"),
editorBody = $(editor.body);
editorBody.attr("contenteditable", false)
$("#ddl").kendoDropDownList({
optionLabel:"--Select user--",
dataTextField:"user",
dataValueField:"id",
dataSource:[
{id:1, user: "John", fname:"John",lname:"Doe",email:"john#email.com"},
{id:2, user: "Jane", fname:"Jane",lname:"Smith",email:"jane#email.com"}
],
change:function(e){
var item = e.sender.dataItem();
editorBody.find("#fname").text(item.fname);
editorBody.find("#email").text(item.email);
}
})
});
</script>
