JS WYSIWYG Editor - Image Alignment...?

[Edd]

Hi,

I have built a basic WYSIWYG HTML editor using Javascript the
ExecCommand commands.

What is fustrating me is that, according to the MSDN site, there is no
way to set the alignment of an image (eg left, right, middle).

This MUST be possible using Javascript...and I have thought about
using the command

document.iEditor.imagename.style.float = "right"

BUT...i don't know how to set the 'imagename' above to the image
currently selected within the editor.

(FYI 'iEditor' is an iFrame with DesignMode set to 'on')

If anyone has any ideas about how to go about doing this, it would be
massively appreciated!!

Thanks
Edd

You have built an IE-only HTML Editor.

That depends on how you are invoking the attempt to align it. If I have an
image and want to align it, what steps do I have to take? Select the image,
then click a button? If so, when I make a selection, keep a global variable
that tracks what is currently selected and then act on it.

Of course, you would have to ensure that when I try to align an image, that I
actually have an image selected.

document.iEditor.images[imageName].style.float
and pass imageName as a parameter to it.

function setImageAlign(imageName,imgAlignment){
document.iEditor.images[imageName].style.float = imgAlignment;
}

Yet another one ...

M$ is lying again. You only need to assign the "align"
property of an HTMLImageElement object a proper value.

Quickhack (see <http://pointedears.de.vu/scripts/test/whatami>):

var oImageStyle = document.frames['iEditor'].images[imagename].style;
oImageStyle.float = "right";
BUT...i don't know how to set the 'imagename' above to the image
currently selected within the editor.
