Question

I’m trying to implement a button outside of the TinyMce editor, that would add text to the active editor upon clicking.
How can I do this?

(For example: There’s a button on my website that should add “Test” into the editor, but it doesn’t).

Thanks for help 🙂

Add this code to the onClick of your button:

// the editor id is the same id of your textarea, default "content" in case your textarea does not have an id

tinymce.get('your_editor_id').execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, "Test");

In case you have one single editor on your page you may also use tinymce.activeEditor instead of tinymce.get('your_editor_id').
