WYSIWYG pasteHTML changing text

I am trying to use the pasteHTML to create a link in my WYSIWYG HTML editor, so that i can a link with target and name.

Here is my test code:
var strValue = '<a href="#Help">Click here for help</a>';
var curRange = oEditor.document.selection.createRange();
curRange.pasteHTML(strValue);

Somehow my output become
<a href="http://localhost/editor/editor.cfm#Help">Click here for help</a>

anyone know how to solve this problem, i using DIV to create my WYSIWYG HTML editor.

The pasteHTML function automatically prepends the current URL if you don't provide one, I believe. Try passing a full URL to your anchor tag and see if that works.

But I can't pre-defined the full URL, because the user may change the filename or location of the file after using the WYSIWYG HTML Editor.

Then you'll have to do a regex server side to strip out any info you don't want in there.

There is a solution to the problem -
just before the "pasteHTML" function, do a "cutHTML"
not sure why this works, but hey, it does the trick.

var strValue = '<a href="#Help">Click here for help</a>';
var curRange = oEditor.document.selection.createRange();
curRange.cutHTML;
curRange.pasteHTML(strValue);

please tell me what's cutHTML, I cannot find ti in msdn. and it cannot do anything! thank you

I have the same question.

and the cutHTML can't work.

You can do it in a more simpla way using execCommand:

function gce_createlink()
{
document.getElementById('myEditor').contentWindow. focus();
if (!document.all)
{
var szURL = prompt(msg_code[1], "http://");
document.getElementById('myEditor').contentWindow. document.execCommand('createlink', false, szURL);
}
else
{
document.getElementById('myEditor').contentWindow. document.execCommand('createlink', true, null);
}
}

enjoy it
