tr.execCommand("CreateLink")

Mar 02.2006

Hello all. I’m trying to develop a WYSYWIG html editor. I’m trying to allow the use to create a hyperlink. Below is my code and it works…sort of. Instead of creating a link it is creating a link that looks like this: http://www.mysite.com/”http://mylink.com“

[code]

function doEdit2(edit) {
var tr2 = frames.body.document.selection.createRange()
tr2.execCommand(edit)
tr2.select()
frames.body.focus()
}

function set_y() {
var y = body.document.body.innerHTML;
document.theform.body.value = y;
}

[/code]

I’m calling the function like this: onClick=’doEdit(“CreateLink”)’

@cwilkeyauthorMar 02.2006 — sorry...calling it like: onClick='doEdit2("CreateLink")'

@phpnoviceMar 02.2006 — There is a second argument that is available for the [URL=http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/constants/createlink.asp]CreateLink[/URL] command identifier.

@cwilkeyauthorMar 03.2006 — Those arguments are only valid if you do not want to prompt the user for an address. I think the problem is in the function set_y().

<i>
</i>function set_y() {
var y = body.document.body.innerHTML;
document.theform.body.value = y;
}


If I do an "alert(y), it shows the correct URL.

Not so. The first argument (to the CreateLink function) is for that purpose. The second argument (to the CreateLink function) is for the url. Did you even read the link I supplied? :rolleyes:

document.execCommand('CreateLink', , url);
