CKEDITOR.ui.handlerDefinition

class

Virtual class which just illustrates the features of handler objects to be passed to the CKEDITOR.ui.addHandler function. This class is not really a part of the API, so do not call its constructor.

    contentsElement : element

    The element in the host page's document that contains the editor content. If the fixed editor UI is used, then it will be set to editor.ui.space( 'contents' ) — i.e. the <div> which contains the editor <iframe> (in case of classic editor) or CKEDITOR.editable (in case of inline editor). Otherwise it is set to the CKEDITOR.editable itself.

    Use the position of this element if you need to position elements placed in the host page's document relatively to the editor content.

    var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1;
    console.log( editor.ui.contentsElement.getName() ); // 'div'

        }
    } );
