<script type="text/javascript">
function GetContents() {
var oEditor = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1;
document.getElementById('field').value = oEditor.getData();
}
</script>
Here i passed value from CKEditor to text field. In the similar way I want do vice verse from textbox to CKEditor.
field.value = oEditor.getValue();
oEditor.setValue(field.value);
But why do you need to do it? CKEditor perfectly works in form as it is when you apply it to the textarea.
Also as your function named GetContents it should return a value but not set it to the textbox. Follow the coding guidelines.
If you want to update <textarea> value with editor's data, use CKEDITOR.editor.updateElement.
If you want to synchronize editor's data with <textarea>, use CKEDITOR.editor.setData. There's no method in the API similar to updateElement that works the opposite way. Still, the official jQuery Adapter allows setting editor's data by calling $( textarea ).val( newValue ).
function GetContents() {
var oEditor = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1;
alert(document.getElementById('').value);
oEditor.setData(document.getElementById('').value);
}
I created the instance and did its working fine.

I would need to add new lines of text at specific position of "textarea" using protractor, there is no element to identify, it is just a textarea.
Help would greatly appreciated.
If you are talking about simple textarea element (like this http://www.protractortest.org/testapp/ng1/#/form ) then you should be fine with default .sendKeys() , just call it without .clear() , here is example:
describe('test1', function () {
it('1', function () {
browser.get('http://www.protractortest.org/testapp/ng1/#/form');
var textarea = element(By.model('aboutbox'));
textarea.getAttribute('value').then(console.log);
textarea.sendKeys(' MORE KEYS!')
textarea.getAttribute('value').then(console.log);
});
});
Notice that calling .getText() will return nothing. To get text from inputs and textarea use .getAttribute('value')
I'm working on an implementation of the jQuery plugin Tag-it! with a product entry form for assigning attributes to products of different type (laptops, tv's, gadgets etc).
The concept is the following:
When adding a new product, first, the user selects the product category from a dropdown for the product being added and a jQuery .change() event is triggered making an ajax call to get all the attributes that are related to that category. For example, if Im adding a TV i want my ajax call to populate 3 inputs for inches, panel type, hdmi whereas, if i'm adding a laptop I want those inputs to be cpu, ram, hdd, screen etc. Tag-it! works with a list of words (in my case, attributes) and an input field for choosing the set of words.
In my case, for each type of attributes I want to populate a separate input field and assign/bind it to/apply tagit plugin (sorry, I dont know how else to explain it).
Javascript:
<script src="../js/tag-it.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
// Sample1: var sampleTags1 = ["red", "green", "blue"];
// Sample2: var sampleTags2 = ["lcd", "plasma", "tft"];
var sampleTags1 = [<?=createTags('name', 'tags', 1)?>];
// createTags($name, $tags, $id) is a PHP function that returnss a list of tags for a given attribute
// Question 1: how do I place this here after a new input is added to the DOM?
$('#myTags').tagit();
//Question 2: for each input added to the DOM I need also to add this block in the javascript:
$('#allowSpacesTags1').tagit({itemName: 'item1', fieldName: 'tags1',
availableTags: sampleTags1, allowSpaces: true
});
$('#removeConfirmationTags').tagit({
availableTags: sampleTags,
removeConfirmation: true
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#cat_id').change(function(){
$.post('../includes/ajax.php', {
cat_id : $(this).find("option:selected").attr('value')}, function(data) {
$("#tagholder").html(data);
});
});
});
</script>
Ajax returns the following for each call:
<ul id="allowSpacesTags'.$row['ctid'].'"></ul> // $row['ctid'] is the ID for that attribute
which represents the input field for entering the tags/attributes.
Before there's any misunderstanding, I'm not asking how to do this in PHP.
My question is about the way I can dynamically add a var like sampleTags1 and also call the tagit() for each new input that is added to the DOM by ajax. I'll try to give any required information if my question isn't clear enough.
Please look at the questions in the code comments. Thanks!
http://api.jquery.com/live/
with .live( events, handler(eventObject) )
you don't need to attach or re-attach events when content is added dynamically
EDIT
i've just notticed that live is deprecated, instead you should use
.on()

I need to be able to make the URL input field in the Link Dialog window readonly or disable it. The field gets populated when the user selects a file from the server.
Another user posted this link as a solution, http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.ui.dialog.uiElement.html#disable but there is no example and I can't figure out how to implement it.
In the onLoad handler of the dialog you can disable it this way:
this.getContentElement("info", "url").disable();
this is what I ended up doing. I wrote it in my js file instead of the plugin file, but I dont think that would make a difference. I am using inline ckeditor version 4.0.2
CKEDITOR.on('dialogDefinition', function(event) {
var dialogName = event.data.name;
var dialogDefinition = event.data.definition;
//some code here
if(dialogName == 'flash'){ // flash dialog box name
//some code here
dialogDefinition.onShow = function () {
this.getContentElement("info","width").disable(); // info is the name of the tab and width is the id of the element inside the tab
this.getContentElement("info","height").disable();
}
}
});
You can disable url field by just one line
CKEDITOR.dialog.getCurrent().getContentElement('info','txtUrl').disable()
I got it. I added this.getInputElement().setAttribute( 'readOnly', true ); to the onload funciton in ckeditor\plugins\links\dialogs\link.js. Before I was adding it to ckeditor\_source\plugins\links\dialogs\link.js. I'd still like an example of how to use the CKEDITOR.ui.dialog.uiElement disable feature, if anyone has one.
I am trying to implement CKEditor 4 into an ASP NET website that I am working on, but I cannot figure out how I would save the edited material from the inline editor I know how to do it with the the old version, but I just don't understand the process for this.
I have looked in the forums... There is not v4 forum.
I looked in for the documentation.... Couldn't find it.
I have a feeling that this is a simple task, but I just don't know how.
You can get your data with CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData(). Then you can send it via AJAX or store it as a value of some input field. To do this periodically, follow this method:
CKEDITOR.disableAutoInline = true;
var editor = CKEDITOR.inline( 'editable' );
var savedData, newData;
function saveEditorData() {
setTimeout( function() {
newData = editor.getData();
if ( newData !== savedData ) {
savedData = newData;
// Send it with jQuery Ajax
$.ajax({
url: 'yourUrl',
data: savedData
});
// Or store it anywhere...
// ...
// ...
}
saveEditorData();
}, 500 );
};
// Start observing the data.
saveEditorData();
You can also observe the submit event and update some (hidden) form field with your data.
Have fun!
Are you trying to get it with AJAX or send with a form? The value of for example the top right inline editor area with Lorem Ipsum can be gotten like in the older version with simply
CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData().
In the XHTML output example they have a simple form that seems to work and I believe that using an (static) inline editor is just the same.
If you transform elements into editors inline dynamically, I would try to bind to the submit event and before submitting loop through all CKEDITOR.instances, get their data into hidden from fields. As for the hidden field naming or identifying which hidden field corresponds to which dynamic editor you'll have to figure out yourself :)
Do you know how to add watermark in CKEditor (visual word processor)?
I want the behavior like this: When the CKEditor is loaded, it has text by default. When I click on it, text must disappear.
Below are the steps to add water mark in CKEditor
Generally when you set default text in Ck Editor through java script on page load. JavaScript event get fired before the control actually load so if possible set the text for code behind.
Attaching Events in Javascript for OnFocus and OnBlur
$(document).ready(function() {
var myeditor = CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'];
myeditor.on("focus", function(e) {
RemoveDefaultText();
});
myeditor.on("blur", function(e) {
setDefaultText();
});
});
Define your default text in this function
function setDefaultText() {
if (CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].getData() == '') {
CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].setData('Your Message Here');
}
}
function RemoveDefaultText() {
if (CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].getData().indexOf('Your Mesage Here') >= 0) {
CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].setData('');
CKEDITOR.instances['EditorId'].focus();
}
}
You can also define styles to the water mark by adding classes to the default text and place the class into you ck editor content css otherwise it will not work
A ready to use plugin can be tested here. It allows to customize the default text and it takes into acount, dialogs as well as reading the data from an external script.
You might want to try this jQuery plugin:
