Question about insertObject

[chandrewz]

I noticed that you can call

$( '#RICH_TEXTAREA' ).rich_textarea( 'insertObject', '<span class="ui-button ui-state-default ui-widget ui-corner-all ui-button-text-only">'tag1'</span>' );

to insert tag-like text into the textarea. But, it's not an actual text object. I am a bit confused on how to insert a tag with a method call (without char triggering) and didn't find any documentation on this. Is this possible to do?

Ah...got it within seconds after posting this question:

$( '#RICH_TEXTAREA' ).rich_textarea( 'insertObject', '<span class="ui-button ui-state-default ui-widget ui-corner-all ui-button-text-only">Tag1</span>', 'tag1' );

Hi Yermo, if you get a chance to read this, is it possible to insert objects such as this?

$('#rich_textarea').rich_textarea('insertObject', '​​Visit Google​');

I am noticing that inserting normal text mixed with html-rich text has to be done separately. The above line only inserts 'Visit ' I have to call insertObject twice, on 'Visit ' and then a second time with 'Google'.

Put it in a or

tag or similar.
