Cursor in EJ2 JavaScript Rich text editor control
18 Apr 20235 minutes to read
This can be achieved by using setRange
method in the Rich Text Editor using NodeSelection
instance. In this below sample, we have passed the text node (specific location in Rich Text Editor content) in setStart
method and passed the range in setRange
method of Rich Text Editor.
var defaultRTE = new ej.richtexteditor.RichTextEditor({
placeholder:'Type Something',
});
defaultRTE.appendTo('#defaultRTE');
document.getElementById('btn').onclick = function(){
var element = defaultRTE.contentModule.getDocument().getElementById("key");
var selectioncursor = new ej.richtexteditor.NodeSelection();
var range = document.createRange();
range.setStart(element, 1); // to set the range
selectioncursor.setRange(document, range); // to set the cursor
}
