Explanation of code
-
Loads the CKEditor library from the CKEditor CDN:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ckeditor/4.6.1/ckeditor.js"></script>
-
Create a new DIV element with all of the content that we want inside the Editor
<div id="editor1" contenteditable="true"> ALL CONTENT HERE </div> -
Add a
clicklistener to the button we have, and once clicked - get the HTML content of the ckeditor.<script> document.getElementById('btn1').addEventListener('click', function() { content = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData() console.log(content); }, false); </script>
- The name of the editor
editor1inCKEDITOR.instances.editor1is the value of theidattribute of the element we used (<div id="editor1" ... >)- Note the usage of
console.log- the HTML content of the editor will be available in the console (you can open the console by clicking the F12 key)
