Set cursor positon in WebHTMLEditor

Paul posted over 16 years ago

I have added a javascript function to a custom button in the WebHtmlEditor which adds a logged on users name and the date and time as a time stamp using the insertAtCaret function.

Is there a way to move the caret to the end of the text before doing the insert?

Thanks

Hi Paul,

The WebHtmlEditor does not use internally similar action and does not have a public function to do that neither.

I have tried using javascript to set cursor position to text end on webhtmleditor focusin event but it alwasy gives me error at the following line [text.createTextRange(); It says undefined], but if i use this with normal textbox it works fine. Please suggest if u have any better solution

function SetCursorToTextEnd()
    {
        var editor = iged_getById('<%=panelTo.ClientID%>');
        var text = editor._ie ? editor._elem : editor._doc().body;

        //alert(text.innerText);
        if (text != null && text.innerText.length > 0)
        {
            //if (text.createTextRange)
            //{
                var FieldRange = text.createTextRange();
                FieldRange.moveStart('character', text.innerText.length);
                //FieldRange.moveEnd('character', text.innerText.length);
                FieldRange.collapse();
                FieldRange.select();
            //}
        }
    }

We are populating SPAN Html controls inside webhtmleditor.

example: webHtmlEditor1.Text = "<span id='I_1' title='Select to Delete.' contentEditable='false' unselectable='true' style='color:#00589F'>Dummy 1</span>;"; etc...
