jQuery 1.3.2 or higher (tested with jQuery 1.5).
jQuery UI Dialog and SimpleModal for insertTable and insertImage buttons.
jQuery UI Resizable for resize of editor.
Tested in Safari 4, Firefox 3.5, Chrome 4.0, Internet Explorer 8.
Some minor bugs still exist while 1.0 not reached.
The following code creates a jWYSIWYG editor with the default options:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.wysiwyg.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg();
});
</script>
<textarea id="wysiwyg"></textarea>
Activating Hidden Controls
Toolbar buttons are selected with the controls
configuration option:
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg({
controls: {
strikeThrough: { visibile: true },
underline: { visible: true },
subscript: { visible: true },
superscript: { visible: true }
}
});
A full list of available controls
options is available in ____.
Custom controls can also be specified with the controls
option:
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg({
controls: {
alertSep: { separator: true },
alert: {
visible: true,
exec: function() { alert('Hello World'); },
className: 'alert'
}
}
})
Another way:
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg("addControl",
"controlName",
{
icon: "/path/to/icon.png",
exec: function() { alert('Hello World'); }
}
);
To apply a CSS stylesheet to the content inside the editor, use the css
configuration option:
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg({
css: 'editor.css'
});
The editor will not inherit the style of the containing page anyway, you must specify a CSS file to apply to it.
To clear the editor at any time:
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg('clear');
When the #insertImage link is clicked, insert an image inline at the current cursor location in the editor:
$('a[href="#insertImage"]').click(function() {
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg('insertImage', 'img/hourglass.gif');
});
Note
Include file wysiwyg.image.js to provide this function
Add some additional attributes to the image, as well:
$('a[href="#insertImage"]').click(function() {
$('#wysiwyg').wysiwyg('insertImage', 'img/hourglass.gif', { 'class': 'myClass', 'className': 'myClass' });
});
Note that the class attribute is added twice, because the class
DOM attribute is recognized on IE but not on Firefox, and the className
attribute is recognized on Firefox but not on IE.
Note
Include file wysiwyg.image.js to provide this function
Additional configuration options are specified by passing a javascript object to the wysiwyg() function when it is first called on a textarea. Available keys are:
html
A string containing the source HTML code used inside the editor's iframe. This is a template where
INITIAL_CONTENT
later replaced by the appropriate code for the editor instance, so this string must be present in this option.debug
A boolean, enabling or disabling debugging.
css
A string containing the path to a CSS file which will be included in the editor's iframe.
autoGrow
A boolean.
autoSave
A boolean. If
true
, the editor will copy its contents back to the original textarea anytime it is updated. Iffalse
, this must be done manually.brIE
A boolean. If
true
, a<br/>
will be inserted for a newline in IE.formHeight
An integer. Height of dialog form.
formWidth
An integer. Width of dialog form.
i18n
A bool or string. If
false
then no internationalization, otherwise set to language (ex.ru
)iFrameClass
A string, that specify
class
attribute of iframe elementinitialContent
A string. Default
<p>Initial Content</p>
maxHeight
An integer. autoGrow max height
messages
A javascript object with key, value pairs setting custom messages for certain conditions. Available keys are:
nonSelection
: Message to display when the Create Link button is pressed with no text selected.
toolbarHtml
A string containing the source HTML code
resizeOptions
A boolean. Depends on jquery.ui.resizable. If
false
the editor will not be resizeable.removeHeadings
A boolean. If
true
, the editor will remove also headings when remove format is used. Otherwise headings will not be removed. Default isfalse
.rmUnusedControls
A boolean. If
true
, the editor will remove all controls which are not mentioned incontrols
option. In this example only bold control will be available in toolbar:$("textarea").wysiwyg({ rmUnusedControls: true, controls: { bold: { visible : true }, } });
rmUnwantedBr
A boolean. If
true
, the editor will not add extraneous<br/>
tags.tableFiller
A string. Default
Lorem ipsum
events
A javascript object specifying events. Events are specified as
key: value
pairs in the javascript object, where the key is the name of the event and the value is javascript function:{ click: function(event) { if ($("#click-inform:checked").length > 0) { event.preventDefault(); alert("You have clicked jWysiwyg content!"); } } }
controls
A javascript object specifying control buttons and separators to include in the toolbar. This can consist of built-in controls and custom controls. Controls are specified as key, value pairs in the javascript object, where the key is the name of the control and the value is another javascript object with a specific signature.
The signature of a control object looks like this:
{ // If true, this object will just be a vertical separator bar, // and no other keys should be set. separator: { true | false }, // If false, this button will be hidden. visible: { true | false }, // In toolbar there are groups of controls. At the end of each group // is placed an auto separator. // Set which group to assign or create a new group with unique number. groupIndex: { number }, // Tags to use to wrap the selected text when this control is // triggered. tags: ['b', 'strong'], // CSS classes to apply to selected text when this command is // triggered. css: { textAlign: 'left', fontStyle: 'italic', ... }, // Function to execute when this command is triggered. If this // key is provided, CSS classes/tags will not be applied, and // any built-in functionality will not be triggered. exec: function() { ... }, // Hotkeys binds on keydown event hotkey: { "alt": 1 | 0, "ctrl": 1 | 0, "shift": 1 | 0, "key": { event.keyCode } }, // Tooltip tooltip: { string }, // Path to icon icon: { string }, // Automatically set when custom control is used custom: { true | false } }
If you wish to override the default behavior of built-in controls, you can do so by specifying only the keys which you wish to change the behavior of. For example, since the
strikeThrough
control is not visibly by default, to enable it we only have to specify:strikeThrough: { visible: true }
Additionally, custom controls may be specified by adding new keys with the same signature as a control object. For example, if we wish to create a
quote
control which creates<blockquote>
tags, we could do specify this key:quote: { visible; true, tags: ['blockquote'], css: { class: 'quote', className: 'quote' } }
Note that when defining custom controls, you will most likely want to add additional CSS to style the resulting toolbar button. The CSS to style a button looks like this:
div.wysiwyg ul.toolbar li a.quote { background: url('quote-button.gif') no-repeat 0px 0px; }
Available built-in controls are:
bold
: Make text bold.italic
: Make text italic.strikeThrough
: Make text strikethrough.underline
: Make text underlined.justifyLeft
: Left-align text.justifyCenter
: Center-align text.justifyRight
: Right-align text.justifyFull
: Justify text.indent
: Indent text.outdent
: Outdent text.subscript
: Make text subscript.superscript
: Make text superscript.undo
: Undo last action.redo
: Redo last action.insertOrderedList
: Insert ordered (numbered) list.insertUnorderedList
: Insert unordered (bullet) list.insertHorizontalRule
: Insert horizontal rule.createLink
: Create a link from the selected text, by prompting the user for the URL.insertImage
: Insert an image, by prompting the user for the image path.h1mozilla
: Make text an h1 header, Mozilla-specific.h2mozilla
: Make text an h2 header, Mozilla-specific.h3mozilla
: Make text on h3 header, Mozilla-specific.h1
: Make text an h1 header, non-Mozilla-specific.h2
: Make text an h2 header, non-Mozilla-specific.h3
: Make text an h3 header, non-Mozilla-specific.cut
: Cut selected text.copy
: Copy selected text.paste
: Paste from clipboard.increaseFontSize
: Increase font size.decreaseFontSize
: Decrease font size.html
: Show the original textarea with HTML source. When clicked again, copy the textarea code back to the jWYSIWYG editor.removeFormat
: Remove all formatting.insertTable
: Insert a table, by prompting the user for the table settings.
Built-in editor functions can be triggered manually with the .wysiwyg("functionName"[, arg1[, arg2[, ...]]])
call.
- addControl(name, settings)
- clear
- createLink(szURL)
Note
Include file wysiwyg.link.js to provide this function
- destroy
- document
- getContent
- insertHtml(szHTML)
- insertImage(szURL, attributes)
Note
Include file wysiwyg.image.js to provide this function
- insertTable(colCount, rowCount, filler)
Note
Include file wysiwyg.table.js to provide this function
- removeFormat
- save
- setContent
For example, if you want to save the content to original textarea, and then remove the jWYSIWYG editor to bring original textarea back:
$("#original").wysiwyg("save").wysiwyg("destroy")
When jWYSIWYG is called on a textarea, it does the following things:
- Creates an additional container div to encapsulate the new editor.
- Hides the existing textarea.
- Creates an iframe inside the container div, populated with editor window and toolbar.
- When
saveContent()
is called, copy its content to existing textarea. - Listen for
submit
event of closest form to applysaveContent()
before form submition.
