How To insert an image at cursor position in tinymce

Question

I am using following codes to fetch the conent of tinymce.

tinymce_content=tinyMCE.get('txt_area_id').getContent();
updated_content=tinymce_content+"<img src="sample.jpg">";

By using above codes i am inserting image inside tinymce content.

Question: How to insert image in the cursor position inside tinymce (ie) How to predict cursor position and split the content to insert image between fetched content.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

This will insert an image node at the selected spot (cursor position) in a tinymce editor

var ed = tinyMCE.get('txt_area_id');                // get editor instance
var range = ed.selection.getRng();                  // get range
var newNode = ed.getDoc().createElement ( "img" );  // create img node
newNode.src="sample.jpg";                           // add src attribute
range.insertNode(newNode);                          // insert Node

Answer 2

@Thariama's answer worked fine for me in Chrome, but not in IE. I had to modify it to the following to get it to work in both browsers:

var ed = tinyMCE.get('txt_area_id');                // get editor instance
var newNode = ed.getDoc().createElement ( "img" );  // create img node
newNode.src="sample.jpg";                           // add src attribute
ed.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, newNode.outerHTML)

(IE was telling me that range did not have an insertNode method.)
