Getting selected text with CKEditor Plugin on IE

rated 0 times [ 89] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 19985 / 15 Years ago, fri, march 5, 2010, 12:00:00

I have made a plugin for CKEditor, but it relies on the currently selected text.

In FF and Chrome I can use:

var selectedText = editor.getSelection().getNative();

but this doesn't work in IE and I only get [object Object]

Any suggestions?

This is what I use:

var mySelection = editor.getSelection();



if (CKEDITOR.env.ie) {

    mySelection.unlock(true);

    selectedText = mySelection.getNative().createRange().text;

} else {

    selectedText = mySelection.getNative();

}
