TinyMCE (or JCE) - How to get current node name and html content

Question

I am trying to check at which node the cursor / selection is.

I want to get the

• node name
• html inside the node

Answer 1

The node can be accessed using:

tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.getNode()

And there are 2 properties that will return the wanted values: nodeName and innerHTML

tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.getNode().nodeName

tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.getNode().innerHTML
