Getting selected text with CKEditor Plugin on IE
12
I have made a plugin for CKEditor, but it relies on the currently selected text.
In FF and Chrome I can use:
var selectedText = editor.getSelection().getNative();
but this doesn't work in IE and I only get [object Object]
Any suggestions?

This is what I use:
var mySelection = editor.getSelection();
if (CKEDITOR.env.ie) {
mySelection.unlock(true);
selectedText = mySelection.getNative().createRange().text;
} else {
selectedText = mySelection.getNative();
}

OK, that looks good, but where do I put that in my dialog code? I thought it would be under onShow:function( HERE ) but I get the error that selectedText is undefined when I use the code below in the contents section. type:'html', html:selectedText

Use:
editor.getSelection().getSelectedText();
Or:
CKEDITOR.instances["txtTexto"].getSelection().getSelectedText()
"txtTexto" = ID of textarea tag

You put it like this:
( function(){
var getSelectedText = function(editor) {
var selectedText = '';
var selection = editor.getSelection();
if (selection.getType() == CKEDITOR.SELECTION_TEXT) {
if (CKEDITOR.env.ie) {
selection.unlock(true);
selectedText = selection.getNative().createRange().text;
} else {
selectedText = selection.getNative();
}
}
return(selectedText);
}
...
with a call like this:
onShow: function() {
// Get the element currently selected by the user
var editor = this.getParentEditor();
var selectedContent = getSelectedText(editor);

with a call like this:
onShow: function() {
// Get the element currently selected by the user
var editor = this.getParentEditor();
var selectedContent = getSelectedText(editor);

In the newer versions of CKEDITOR, there seems to be a way easier method:
var selectedHTML = editor
.getSelectedHtml()
.getHtml(); //result: <p>test</p>
