Hi.

I know that this is an old thread but I feel obligated to answer since I’ve spent too many hours trying to figure out why enters didn’t work in the RTC client.

First of all I haven’t been using the WYSIWYG editor Hougaard posted – I’ve been developing my own for a client. Therefore I can’t share a complete solution but I hope to help other developers so that they can get it to work.

At first it seemed like magic – sometimes enters worked but most of the time it didn’t. So I started to do some experimentation to figure out what was going on. Finally I dicovered that if I added an input element or a button to the HTML container and hid it immediately when the contentediable gained focus then enters started to work. I can’t explain why since there is no documentation on thisbehaviour (that I could find) but it seems like the iframe view in the RTC client for some reason needs a button or input field that is added after the contenteditable element has been created/loaded.

So using jQuery I do the following:

$(“#editor”).focus(function() {
if ($(“#rtc-fix-btn”).length == 0) {
var button = $(document.createElement(“button”));
button.attr(“id”, “rtc-fix-btn”)
button.css(‘position’, ‘absolute’);
button.css(‘display’, ‘block’);
button.css(‘left’, ‘0’);
button.css(‘top’, ‘0’);
button.css(‘width’, ’10px’);
button.css(‘height’, ’10px’);
button.css(‘padding’, ‘0’);
button.css(‘margin’, ‘0’);
button.css(‘border’, ‘none’);
button.css(‘background’, ‘none’);
container.append(button);

button.hide();
}
});

I believe something like that can be done in Hougaards editor as well.

Best regards
Sebastian

First of all thank you for this tool.

I have installed this tool without any problem on a Nav 2017 CU 4 version, but the Hyperlink are not Clickable.
try to add a link to any text, and you will see that is not possible to click on it.
Somebody else get this behavior ?
thx

You’re welcome to email me at Erik at hougaard.com 🙂

I’m using NAV 2017.

Download link fixed, thanks 🙂

addition to secure connection via https: that control does not work with https. you get then a “mixed content” warning in IE. in other browsers it is not shown at all. the reason is the link in file manifest.xml in archive EriksTinyEditorControl.zip. expand the xml file and edit it. then replace the unsecure scripturl link “http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.9.1.min.js” by “https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js”. saved the changed file, copy it back to the archive file EriksTinyEditorControl.zip. replace the content file in the control-addin record with the new version.

Dear Erik,

I’ve changed the registry key to run Internet Explorer 11. Unfortunately still something goes wrong when you put the first word in the editor in Bold, Italic or Underlined and remove the editing afterwards. Sometimes it works. My idea is something is done with the first letter in the editor.
It would be very nice if there would be a solution for this issue.

Thank you very much for this nice piece of software.

Not sure, have you tried to for the client on the server to be 32bit?

Yes, pretty sure.
I placed the AddIn on a client as well, it works perfect on that one, but not from running on the servers client.
Could it be a framework issue or?
