Suneditor insertHTML

Question

I'm trying to use the function: insertHTML

As per manual: editor.insertHTML('TEXTO DE TESTE', true, true);

I created a button and put a jquery

suneditor.insertHTML('Text 1', true, true);

But when clicking the button it does not add the text. But if I click on the editor and then click on the button, the text is added.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I believe that insertHTML is working with the last cursor position. So if you don't focus the editor, last position of cursor is undefined and insertHTML will not work until you focus the editor. By the way i believe there is focus method that you can focus the editor then use insertHTML method. Documentation

Answer 2

editor.focus();
editor.insertHTML("...");
