I have a div with contenteditable set and I am capturing keypress using jquery to call preventDefault() when the enter key is pressed. Similar to this question which insert
var r = getSelection().getRangeAt(0);
r.insertNode(r.createContextualFragment('<b>Hello</b>'));
//select this range
getSelection().removeAllRanges();
getSelection().addRange(r);
//collapse to end/start
getSelection().collapseToEnd()
var doc = document.getElementById("your_iframe").contentWindow.document;
// IE <= 10
if (document.selection){
var range = doc.selection.createRange();
range.pasteHTML("<b>Some bold text</b>");
// IE 11 && Firefox, Opera .....
}else if(document.getSelection){
var range = doc.getSelection().getRangeAt(0);
var nnode = doc.createElement("b");
range.surroundContents(nnode);
nnode.innerHTML = "Some bold text";
};
by reading quickly and hoping not to be off topic, here is a track for those who, like me, need to insert code at the cursor level of a div:
document.getElementById('editeur').contentWindow.document.execCommand('insertHTML', false, '<br />');
'editeur' is iframe :
<iframe id="editeur" src="contenu_editeur_wysiwyg.php">
</iframe>
contenu_editeur_wysiwyg.php :
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
don't forget :
document.getElementById('editeur').contentDocument.designMode = "on";
In most browsers, you can use the insertNode()
method of the Range you obtain from the selection. In IE < 9 you can use pasteHTML()
, as you mentioned. Below is a function to do this in all major browsers. If content is already selected, it is replaced, so this is effectively a paste operation. Also, I added code to place the caret after the end of the inserted content.
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jwvha/1/
Code:
function pasteHtmlAtCaret(html) {
var sel, range;
if (window.getSelection) {
// IE9 and non-IE
sel = window.getSelection();
if (sel.getRangeAt && sel.rangeCount) {
range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
range.deleteContents();
// Range.createContextualFragment() would be useful here but is
// only relatively recently standardized and is not supported in
// some browsers (IE9, for one)
var el = document.createElement("div");
el.innerHTML = html;
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment(), node, lastNode;
while ( (node = el.firstChild) ) {
lastNode = frag.appendChild(node);
}
range.insertNode(frag);
// Preserve the selection
if (lastNode) {
range = range.cloneRange();
range.setStartAfter(lastNode);
range.collapse(true);
sel.removeAllRanges();
sel.addRange(range);
}
}
} else if (document.selection && document.selection.type != "Control") {
// IE < 9
document.selection.createRange().pasteHTML(html);
}
}
UPDATE 21 AUGUST 2013
As requested in the comments, here is an updated example with an extra parameter that specifies whether or not to select the inserted content.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/timdown/jwvha/527/
Code:
function pasteHtmlAtCaret(html, selectPastedContent) {
var sel, range;
if (window.getSelection) {
// IE9 and non-IE
sel = window.getSelection();
if (sel.getRangeAt && sel.rangeCount) {
range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
range.deleteContents();
// Range.createContextualFragment() would be useful here but is
// only relatively recently standardized and is not supported in
// some browsers (IE9, for one)
var el = document.createElement("div");
el.innerHTML = html;
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment(), node, lastNode;
while ( (node = el.firstChild) ) {
lastNode = frag.appendChild(node);
}
var firstNode = frag.firstChild;
range.insertNode(frag);
// Preserve the selection
if (lastNode) {
range = range.cloneRange();
range.setStartAfter(lastNode);
if (selectPastedContent) {
range.setStartBefore(firstNode);
} else {
range.collapse(true);
}
sel.removeAllRanges();
sel.addRange(range);
}
}
} else if ( (sel = document.selection) && sel.type != "Control") {
// IE < 9
var originalRange = sel.createRange();
originalRange.collapse(true);
sel.createRange().pasteHTML(html);
if (selectPastedContent) {
range = sel.createRange();
range.setEndPoint("StartToStart", originalRange);
range.select();
}
}
}
