Get dnn text editor control on client side using javascript Modified By Avinash Kumar on 5/31/2013 3:07:24 AM

Hi All,

I am using dnn:TextEditor. I need to to get the instance of it on the client side by using javascript. I am using below code
var editor= FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('dnn_ctr1052_ManageEmailTemplate_txtContent_txtContent');
to get its instance.
But I am getting below error when I look in firebug console.
ReferenceError: FCKeditorAPI is not defined

My dnn version is 6.2.
Please suggest what to do ?

Thanks,
Avinash Kumar

Hi Avinash, don't know whether this is the reason for the error but the FCK Editor doesn't work in DNN 6+, you need to use the DNNRadEditor or upgrade FCK to the CK Editor.

Hi Pingle,

Thanks for reply. But I am using normal dnn:TextEditor in my ascx page. So, is there any way to get its instance in javascript ? As I earlier said I m using dnn 6.2.

Thanks,
Avinash Kumar

Hi All,

I have found the solution by using just few lines of code.
var editor = $find('dnn_ctr1052_ManageEmailTemplate_txtContent_txtContent');
if (editor)
editor.set_html(tag);

Cheers.. :)

Thanks,
Avinash Kumar
