CKEDITOR -- cannnot restore cursor location after DOM modification -


i've read excellent answer pretty same question. however, have tried every technique @reinmar recommended, , none of them seem work.

the situation taking current html editor , wrapping pieces in span tags. set modified html , try restore user's cursor location. no technique works.

here simple example reproduce issue:

<!doctype html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>     <title></title>     <script src="//cdn.ckeditor.com/4.4.7/standard/ckeditor.js"></script>  </head> <body>     <textarea id="cktest"><p>sometimes lorem. sometime ipsum. dolor.</p></textarea>      <script type="text/javascript">          (function () {             var checktimeout;             var bookmark;              var storecursorlocation = function(editor) {                 bookmark = editor.getselection().createbookmarks();             };              var restorecursorlocation = function(editor) {                 editor.getselection().selectbookmarks(bookmark);             };              var validatetext = function(editor) {                 storecursorlocation(editor);                 var data = editor.document.getbody().gethtml();                 data = data.replace("lorem", "<span class='err-item'>lorem</span>");                 editor.document.getbody().sethtml(data);                 restorecursorlocation(editor);             };               ckeditor.replace('cktest', {                 on: {                     'instanceready': function(evt) {                      },                     'key' : function(evt) {                         cleartimeout(checktimeout);                         checktimeout = settimeout(function () {                             validatetext(evt.editor);                         }, 1000);                     }                 }             });         })();      </script> </body> </html> 

this code starts timer when user presses key, , waits 1 second after stop pressing keys check.

copy new .html file , run in favorite browser (i using chrome).

when ckeditor loads, use mouse place cursor somewhere in middle of text. press ctrl key , wait 1 second. see cursor jump start of text.

this code example uses

editor.getselection().createbookmarks(); 

to create bookmark. have tried:

editor.getselection().createbookmarks(true); 

and

editor.getselection().createbookmarks2(); 

i have tried saving range using

var ranges = editor.getselection().getranges(); 

and

editor.getselection().selectranges(ranges); 

in restorecursorlocation function.

        (function () {             var checktimeout;             var bookmark;              var storecursorlocation = function( editor ) {                bookmark = editor.getselection().createbookmarks( true );             };              var restorecursorlocation = function( editor ) {                 //editor.focus();                 editor.getselection().selectbookmarks( bookmark );             };              var validatetext = function( editor ) {                 storecursorlocation( editor );                  var data = editor.document.getbody().gethtml();                 data = data.replace( "spaceflight", "<span class='err-item'>spaceflight</span>" );                 editor.document.getbody().sethtml( data );                 restorecursorlocation( editor );                 //fire event after dom changes if working widgets                 //editor.fire( 'contentdominvalidated' );              };              var editor = ckeditor.replace( 'editor1', {                 extraallowedcontent : 'span(err-item)',                              on: {                     "pluginsloaded" : function( event ){                         editor.on( 'contentdom', function() {                             var editable = editor.editable();                                                editable.attachlistener( editable, 'keyup', function( e ) {                                  cleartimeout( checktimeout );                                 checktimeout = settimeout(function () {                                     validatetext( editor );                                 }, 100 );                             });                         });                     }                 }             });         })(); 

i have checked code, made corrections , above seems work fine. know said have tried me createbookmarks(true) has done trick.

explanations , notes:

  1. you needed use createbookmarks(true) inserts unique span html. such bookmark not affected changes doing inside dom (there limits of course e.g. custom changes remove bookmark).
  2. it clever use getbody().gethtml() , getbody().sethtml(). if have used editor.getdata() have removed empty spans represent bookmarks. please note such approach may break widgets required fire contentdominvalidated event after such changes.
  3. i focusing editor before restoring selection “just in case” solution, have noticed editor selects bookmark without it. if however, reason, losing selection, thing use.

here have working example: http://jsfiddle.net/j_swiderski/nwbsywnn/1/
