finding focus of cursor in radeditor

Question

I am using radeditor in my project. I want the text which is immediate after the cursor position or immediate before the cursor position.

I can set html using editor.pasteHtml("html") but how can I get the text before or after that position?

Answer 1

In short you should create a range in the content area of RadEditor

var range = editor.getSelection().getRange();

and obtain the content selection. Try the solution provided in this forum thread: pasteHtml After Node at Cursor Position?.

You can find additional information about the ranges in these articles:

Once you create a range in the editor, you can use the GetCaretPosition function from this thread: JavaScript get word before cursor
