Re: Function to execute javascript from a button

From what kind of button?  In the toolbar, or just a normal form button?

For the toolbar...

      xinha_config.btnList["my-preview"] =
       [ function(editor) { preview(1); }, // action
         "Preview?", // tooltip
         "my_preview.gif", // image
         false // disabled in text mode
       ];
      xinha_config.toolbar.push(["my-preview"]);

For a normal form button...

<button onclick="preview(1)" value="Da Button" />

Thanks James!

I was asking from the toolbar.  Is it posslbe to replace "1" with "editor" to pass the editor name?

like:
[ function(editor) { preview(editor); }, // action

?

Re: Function to execute javascript from a button

sure, you can pass the editor-object to the preview-function...
but this is not the editor-name!
you can get the name of the textArea through:
editor._textArea.name
(i'm pretty sure this is not the correct and best way to get the name, but i didn't find a better one)
