Create simple text editor (javascript)

I would like to create a simple text editor in Javascript. The challenge for me is: the buttons above my text-editor should be adjusted on the content of the DOM. For example: if the cursor is within a 'ul'-tag in my text-editor, only button 'li' should be displayed.

I already created a 'content-editable div', but I don't know where to look next. Can someone help me with some ideas? If I can do this with help of an existing JS-text-editor, please say.

<html>
<head>
    <style>
        #textEditor {
            border: 1px solid black; display:block; width: 300px; height: 200px;
        }
    </style>
    <script>
        var options = ['ul','div'];
        var subOptions = {
            'ul':['li'],
            'div':['div','span', 'p']
        };
    </script>

</head>
<body>
    <div id="textEditor" contenteditable="true"></div>
</body>
</html>

I Create a simple & rich text editor using the only javascript. Especially I create this for my powerBI custom visual. You can use it in any project.

    function chooseColor(){
      var mycolor = document.getElementById("myColor").value;
      document.execCommand('foreColor', false, mycolor);
    }

    function changeFont(){
      var myFont = document.getElementById("input-font").value;
      document.execCommand('fontName', false, myFont);
    }

    function changeSize(){
      var mysize = document.getElementById("fontSize").value;
      document.execCommand('fontSize', false, mysize);
    }

    function checkDiv(){
      var editorText = document.getElementById("editor1").innerHTML;
      if(editorText === ''){
        document.getElementById("editor1").style.border = '5px solid red';
      }
    }

    function removeBorder(){
      document.getElementById("editor1").style.border = '1px solid transparent';
    }
   
body {
    font: 400 16px/1.4 'serif';
    }

    cursor:move;

You can make a contenteditable html element so the user can edit it.

<div id="myDiv" contenteditable = "true" style = "border: 1px solid black">
&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;<br>
&lt;html&gt;<br>
&lt;head&gt;<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&lt;/head&gt;<br>
&lt;body&gt;<br>

&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&lt;/body&gt;<br>
&lt;/html&gt;
</div>

Implementing your own javascript text editor is very challenging, I would recommend you to have a look at the medium editor

If you really want to build your own, and you want to know what element the users cursor is in. You will need to use the selection API which overall has great browsers support.

Try this simple text editor:

<div class="hb-editor">
  
    <div id="editor-element"></div>

    <textarea id="editor" class="hb-text-editor" style="direction: ltr;"></textarea>

    <div id="editor-view-raw" style="margin: 15px; display: none;"></div>

</div>
$(document).ready(function(){

    let editor = new TextEditor(
        '#editor',
        '#editor-view-raw',
        '#editor-element'
    );

    editor.start();

});

This code is about "Simple Text editor". This html code submit to upload.php.

This js code converts what <div id="editor1" contenteditable="true"></div> typed into a <textarea id="my-textarea" name="t" style="display:none"></textarea> value. :

 function getContent(){
        document.getElementById("my-textarea").value = document.getElementById("editor1").innerHTML;
    }

When this button <button class="fontStyle save" onclick="save()"><save>fas fa-save</save></button> is clicked will direct the relevant data to upload.php from this code. :

function save() {
  getContent();
  document.getElementById("save").submit();
}

The source code is Editor.html :

The document.execCommand() function is deprecated. So these answers are also deprecated.

The thing you need now is document.getSelection() function.

I make a text editor. Its very super simple editor. Using just simple tricks. Here is jquery full source code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>HTML page editor</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato" />

</head>
<body>
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <h1 class="edit_me_plz" id="jakir">header</h1>
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
            <button class="edit_me_plz btn btn-info" id="button2">Button</button>
        </div>
    </div>


    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function() {
            $(".edit_me_plz").dblclick(function(){
                make_element_editable(this);
            });
        });
        function make_element_editable(me){
            $( '<textarea onblur="set_my_new_text_with_tag(\''+$(me)[0].localName+'\',\''+$(me)[0].id+'\',this)" style="display: block; width: 100%;">'+$(me)[0].innerHTML+'</textarea>' ).insertAfter(me);
            $(me).hide();
        }
        function set_my_new_text_with_tag(prev_ele,id,me){
            $(me).remove();
            $("#"+id)[0].innerHTML = $(me)[0].value;
            $("#"+id).show();
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>

hope you like it. Happy coding. :)
