CKEditor insert HTML into textarea

Question

I'm trying to insert text into CKEditor using javascript. I have currently got this script:

function quote_<?php echo $row['pid']; ?>() {
        var stringContent = $(".content_<?php echo $row['pid']; ?>").html();
         $("#wysiwyg").val("[quote=<?php echo $row['author']; ?>]" + stringContent + "[/quote]");
         CKEDITOR.instances.wysiwyg.insertHtml('[quote=<?php echo $row['author']; ?>]' + stringContent + '[/quote]');
}

<textarea name="message" style="width:100%" tabindex="3" rows="10" id="wysiwyg">
</textarea>

HTML is not being inserted into the instance 'wysiwyg', so I can't get this to work.

Any ideas?

Solution 1

This row:

CKEDITOR.instances.wysiwyg.insertHtml('[quote={$row['author']}]' + stringContent + '[/quote]');

the single quotes around 'author' are not escaped. Try:

CKEDITOR.instances.wysiwyg.insertHtml("[quote={$row['author']}]" + stringContent + "[/quote]");

Solution 2

This worked for me:

CKEDITOR.instances.TEXTATEA_ID.insertHtml('<p> html here. </p>');

I can presume you already know all this, but you should be more careful about some shady syntax mixes, because javascript has the mighty power of silently failing, and that's exactly the point where you wouldn't know what happened actually ;-)
