Custom MSHTML link insert?

[steverbs]

Hi all.

I am modifying a CMS app for a client and need to know if, using JavaScript and the MSHTML WYSIWYG editor, it would be possible to write some code to allow my client to highlight a piece of text in the MSHTML iFrame box and select a link from a listbox to be applied to the selected piece of text?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards.

Stephen.

I just don't know what you mean by MSHTML WYSIWYG editor. Are you referring "designMode" maybe? I can only imagine you are. Using Javascript, you can indeed get a "pointer" to a selection, and then choose a link from a listbox (which could modify the selection contents/style etc).

Look into using execCommand() (to update the style of a selection etc) and createRange() (to modify the selected range contents).

Hopefully this is enough to get you started. I can't really offer much more help without more specifics from you.

I have just typed that stuff into MSDN and it looks like you've got me on the right track. I should be able to cover it from here.

Thanks for the help.
