I was testing a different feature, and I somehow, accidentally dropped an image that I had rendered "draggable" with jQuery UI, into a CKEditor (jQuery version) window. The source in the editor was updated accordingly. Serendipity!
But it was like I had just seen a unicorn -- It only happened once, and I was not able to replicate the effect.
Has anyone else been able to get those two tools to work together? If so, what's the trick?
I believe you don't need to make an image "draggable" with jquery to drag it into CkEditor. It works out of the box with any image of the page.

I want to use CKEditor 5, insert image with URL dialog, instead of its default file upload dialog. how to do this in CKEditor 5 Classic?
There is, as far as I know, no such feature officially provided.
There is, however, a tutorial provided in the documentation on how to write such a feature: https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/framework/guides/creating-simple-plugin.html
There is also a separate project on github for the same purpose, which appears to be a bit more stylish: https://github.com/khanhna/ckeditor5-image-via-url
Both approaches require to configure a modified build, and both appear to lack an important component: a button in the image's toolbar to edit that URL later on.
So, a more simple approach that does achieve practically the same is to just drag the images into the editor from some browser window.
I have created two CKEditor plugins. Each of them uses an "Iframe Dialog Field", meaning that a dialog box is launched and the contents of that dialog box is a webpage (you can think of the entire dialog box as being like one big iframe).
Each plugin works perfectly on its own. However if I use both plugins in the same CKEditor app, they both end up displaying the same page, rather than two different pages, despite the fact that they point to two different pages. I see no reason why this should be happening. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
To make sure there is no confusion, an "IFrame Dialog Field" is a dialog box whose contents are another webpage.

[ This is different from using an "IFrame dialog", which I believe is a plugin that lets the user add an iframe to the page.
Documentation - IFrame Dialog: http://ckeditor.com/addon/iframe ]
In terms of usage, when using an IFrame Dialog Field, you specify the url of the page to load in the addIframe() command. Here is an example of using a CKEditor Iframe dialog

Back to my issue - if I use just one of the plugins in my CKEditor, it works perfectly. Each plugin points at a different url, and opens that url as the contents of the dialog box. But, if I use both plugins in my CKEditor, although I see a different icon for each, both end up launching a dialog box which points to the same url. Depending which one I launch first, that is the url both end up opening. It is as if you are only allowed to use one IFrame Dialog Field in CKEditor, and the first one used overwrites all others.
This same question was asked a couple of years ago, with no response on the CKEditor forum. The person who asked the question posted his solution, or rather his workaround, which was to NOT use the IFrame Dialog Field altogether, but to instead use a regular dialog and then put an iframe element within it.
http://ckeditor.com/forums/CKEditor-3.x/multiple-iframedialog-plugins-display-same-dialog
That seems like an OK workaround, but it is a workaround and not a solution. I haven't tried it yet, and don't know what potential issues I will run into if I go down that route. I'd prefer to fix my existing code rather than rewrite the plugins, unless I have no choice.
Any help would be appreciated.
Since I have not found any further information, or received any answers here, I ended up going with the workaround mentioned at the end of my question - I used a regular dialogue box and put a big Iframe within it. This problem doesn't exist with that approach, and It looks pretty much the same as an Iframe dialog box. (Considering the almost total lack of community support with CKEditor customization, I've realized it is better to just adjust your design/concept to do what is more easily accomplished with CKEditor, rather than get CKeditor to do exactly what you want).
jquery-bootgrid is a great little tool, i have it working perfectly well functionally, but i have an issue with the styling of the control.
For some reason the search bar generated by the js library spans across the entirepage, forcing the control for selecting the number of results shown, down to a new line.
I've also noticed that the paging control isn't styled correctly and nor is the dropdown for removing columns.
I've got the latest css and js files, is anybody else having the same issue?
I have the latest bootstrap available, could this be an issue?
My bad, I didn't include the jquery.bootgrid.css in my bundling at the right spot.
I need to insert an XML (svg) file's contents into an html div. For browsers that don't support DOMParser() (IE7 & 8), how can I do this?
It appears that in IE8 I can insert the xml contents as text using innerHTML, but it doesn't render the svg.
My work is online at http://ec2-174-129-62-227.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/ but it may change a little bit as I tweak solutions. Make sure you click the "Leafy Tree" radio button. If it's functional, it should work fine in IE9 and chrome.
IE8 and lower doesn't support SVG, so even if you manage to insert the elements it still won't render.
Maybe jQuery parseXML will serve you better?
Although they won't work for my case, I did find some polyfills that will render something with SVG in older browsers. I particularly like this one by google. It uses your svg data to actually render a flash version in older internet explorer.
I am creating a Firefox extension that is somewhat similar to Firebug. There is a panel (or vbox) at the bottom of the browser that allows users to specify colors to certain Html elements. When they click the OK button, I would like these colors to get updated on the current web page.
I have my JavaScript working when I click the button (i am just throwing an alert), however when I change that JavaScript to change the css or styles of an element (by either using document.getElementById or jquery), nothing changes.
Is there something with Firefox extensions that I am missing? Any help is appreciated.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

You want content.document.getElementById() and similarly for every other construct you use.
