CKEditor Samples List for ASP

Overview

The ckeditor.asp file provides a wrapper to ease the work of creating CKEditor instances from classic Asp.

To use it, you must first include it into your page: <!-- #INCLUDE file="../../ckeditor.asp" --> Of course, you should adjust the path to make it point to the correct location, and maybe use a full path (with virtual="" instead of file="")

After that script is included, you can use it in different ways, based on the following pattern:

1. Create an instance of the CKEditor class:

   dim editor
   set editor = New CKEditor

2. Set the path to the folder where CKEditor has been installed, by default it will use /ckeditor/

   editor.basePath = "../../"

3. Now use one of the three main methods to create the CKEditor instances:
   • Replace textarea with id (or name) "editor1".

     editor.replaceInstance "editor1"

   • Replace all textareas with CKEditor.

     editor.replaceAll empty

   • Create a textarea element and attach CKEditor to it.

     editor.editor "editor1", initialValue

Before step 3 you can use a number of methods and properties to adjust the behavior of this class and the CKEditor instances that will be created:

• returnOutput : if set to true, the functions won't dump the code with response.write, but instead they will return it so you can do anything you want
• basePath: location of the CKEditor scripts
• initialized: if you set it to true, it means that you have already included the CKEditor.js file into the page and it doesn't have to be generated again.
• textareaAttributes: You can set here a Dictionary object with the attributes that you want to output in the call to the "editor" method.
• config: Allows to set config values for all the instances from now on.
• instanceConfig: Allows to set config values just for the next instance.
• addEventHandler: Adds an event handler for all the instances from now on.
• addInstanceEventHandler: Adds an event handler just for the next instance.
• addGlobalEventHandler: Adds an event handler for the global CKEDITOR object.
• clearEventHandlers: Removes one or all the event handlers from all the instances from now on.
• clearInstanceEventHandlers: Removes one or all the event handlers from the next instance.
• clearGlobalEventHandlers: Removes one or all the event handlers from the global CKEDITOR object.
