execCommand(“insertHTML”, …) in Internet Explorer

Question

I\'m building a wysiwyg-editor with an editable iframe using document.execCommand(). Now i need to use the \"insertHTML\" command which works perfe

Answer 1

I know this is extremely old, but since IE is still a problem, here is a better way which does not even use execCommand.

This is missing some checks, like ensuring you're in the right container to be adding an image.

var sel = window.getSelection();
var range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
var img = document.createElement("img");
// add image properties here

frag.appendChild(img);
range.insertNode(frag);
