Hi all,

This is our situation:
We have created a separate button in a layer over the RichTextBox control.
We want to use this button instead of the default "insert image" button that
comes with RTB.
This new button must insert a hyperlink at the cursor position within the
RichTextBox. Link to be inserted looks like <img
src="getimage.aspx?imgID=123">. I hope somebody has already dealt with
something like this and can give as an example of how to solve this.

TIA,
@win van Duijn,
The Netherlands.

I'll use a form button as an example. Imagine this is the button you
click to insert the image:
<input type="button" value="insert image"
onclick="insertImage('getimage.aspx?id=45')" />

You can add the client-script function to insert the image like this:

<script language="javascript">
function insertImage(img)
{
richtext1_x5.focus();
richtext1_x5.document.execCommand('InsertImage','',img);
}
</script>

NOTE: You must change the "richtext1" at the start of the two lines in
the function with the identifier of your RichTextBox. So, for example,
if your RichTextBox is called MyEditor, the first line would change to
MyEditor_x5.focus();

Please be aware that working with script in this way is not what this
version was designed for. I think that was a mistake and one that will
be rectified across future releases. I mention because there is a
possibility that in order to achieve a better product in future the
iframe (the _x5) may be renamed and so when new versions come along,
please do test any existing client code against it on a staging server.
The release notes for new releases will include details of changes and
so hopefully the transition will be easy.

Does this answer your question?

Hi there,

This is interesting since I'm looking at ways to insert images. I kind of
did a similar thing previously with a normal textarea using focus caret (or
something like that!). A popup window was then used to squirt in some html
of theimage url at the cursor in the textarea.

Kevin.
