WatiN: How to type text in the Body allocated in o

Question

This is link to TinyMCE redactor: TinyMCE

I have a task: To type text in the textfield of TinyMCE. But this in not a textfield, this is a Body that doesn't have a method "TypeText();"

Please show me the code example, that can type the text in the TinyMCE Body

Answer 1

tinyMce and watin don't play well together. I generally have to use a combination of javascript (using browser.eval) and the setAttributeValue('value') of textfield objects.

Answer 2

string js = "tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('tekst');";
browser.Eval(js);

Answer 3

I was in a similar scenario (different editor / same concept) and got the body text set via javascript

string js = "document.getElementById('theEditor').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = 'Hello World!';";
myEditorPage.RichTextEditor.Eval(js);

Notes about the above code

• 'theEditor' is the ID of the editor frame.
• myEditorPage is a Page class I created
• RichTextEditor is the Frame object in my page class that corresponds to the 'theEditor' IDed frame.

Works like a champ.

My scenario

• IE8
• Win7
• Watin2.0
• Some 3rd party editor I don't remember.

Answer 4

You could set the Text property of the Body element.
