The string containing the HTML to be inserted at the cursor within the EditLive! applet.
Example
The following code creates a <TEXTAREA>, named htmlToInsert, that will have its contents inserted into an instance of EditLive! at the cursor position via the InsertHTMLAtCursor method. The InsertHTMLAtCursor method will be associated with a HTML button. The name of the EditLive! applet is editlivejs.
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>EditLive! JavaScript Example</TITLE> <!--Include the EditLive! JavaScript Library--> <SCRIPT src="editlivejava/editlivejava.js" language="JavaScript"> </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM name = exampleForm> <P>EditLive! contents will be loaded from here</P> <!--Create a textarea to load the applet contents from--> <P> <TEXTAREA name="htmlToInsert" cols="40" rows="10"> <p>Content to be inserted</p> </TEXTAREA> </P> <P>Click this button to insert XHTML at the cursor in EditLive!</P> <P> <INPUT type="button" name="button1" value="Insert XHTML" onClick="editlivejs.insertHTMLAtCursor(encodeURI(document.exampleForm.htmlToInsert.value ));"> </P> <!--Create an instance of EditLive!--> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> var editlivejs = new EditLiveJava("editlive", 450, 275); editlivejs.setConfigurationFile("sample_elconfig.xml"); editlivejs.setDocument(encodeURIComponent("<P>This is EditLive!</P>")); editlivejs.show(); </SCRIPT> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML>
The string passed to the JavaScript insertHTMLAtCursor method must be URL encoded. It is recommended that a server-side URL encoding function be used if available as the JavaScript encodeURI function does not fully comply with the URL encoding standard.
