Hi at all

I have MSIE problem using seleection and text range

First I have an internet web site studing an old dialect language.

To write properly our dialect we must use special ACCENTED characters like
���������� that are not into our keyboard .

To do that I modify the "FreeRichTextEditor"
http://www.freerichtexteditor.com/ adding a lot of buttons

Clicking one of these buttons I call this function:

function insert_accented_char(str)//str parameter is the accented character
that I want to insert

{

if(document.selection){

cDoc = document.getElementById(rteName).contentWindow.document;

range=cDoc.selection.createRange();

range.text=str;

cDoc.selection.empty();

cDoc.focus();

} else if (window.getSelection) {

cWin = document.getElementById(rteName).contentWindow;

userSelection = cWin.getSelection();

userSelection=str;

cWin.document.execCommand('insertHTML',false,userSelection);

}

}

Character must be inserted at cursor position or they must replace a
selection text selected by the user.

FireFox, opera and safari work properly but MSIE (8) replace best a
selection range of text but if text is not selected it do not insert
character at cursor position but it insert them into the calling button
(that user clicked)

How can I solve problem?

You are more and more expert then me and I hope you'll help me in few
minutes.

Best regards and thank you in advance.

Don't feel bad. I recently finished work on a text range add-on for
My Library (for use with the upcoming editor) and it was a major pain
in the neck (and virtually all of the problems were due to IE).

You are a glutton for punishment. :)

Oh boy.

Use contentDocument when available.

You know, I've never tried that. I guess I've always been preoccupied
with injecting HTML.

Odd choice after an insert.

This is an unnecessary repeat.

Why did you bother to get the selection if you were just going to
throw it away?

That would be the norm.

Focus the editor before insertion:-

cWin.focus();

I haven't looked at the one you are using, but most editors found on
the Web are pretty bad.
