WYSIWYG Editor: onkeyup event


Topic: WYSIWYG Editor: onkeyup event

tlippuner pro premium priority asked 5 years ago

Hi

in the WYSIWYG texteditor i cannot use the onkeyup event like on a normal input field. i need to grab the user's entry on the fly which is with onkeyup normal working in normal textareas. Which element i need to bind for the onkeyup?

<textarea name="m_body" id="mailtext"" >content...</textarea>

JS: $("#mailtext").mdbWYSIWYG();

Actually i need the same functionality as it is used in this forum if i create a post and during my writing my text is shown under the wysiwyg textarea field .-)

Currently, this would be difficult to do as long as the WYSIWYG always have the unique, random ID like #wysiwyg-9ab75ef8-f4ef-4c44-9a5f-6acd1c44a65d

Would it be okay to you if you used something like $('#mailtext').on('change', func...);?

However, this issue will be fixed in the future

Thanks for the answer, at least i know know why it is not working like i was thinking .-) Meanwhile i used another wysiwyg editor where i used the keyup function as i tried already the on change function, where always the last key i pressed is not included in the value of the textarea. So for the moment i found a solution and meanwhile i am waiting for the solution for the mdb wysiwyg .-) Thanks a lot
