Description

How can I create custom Window in Editor to add a hyperlink with custom class names?

Solution

  1. Create a custom Kendo UI for jQuery Window. In the Window content add an element and initialize a DropDownList that contains the needed class names.
  2. When the Insert button in the Window is clicked, check the DropDownList value and add the selected class to the hyperlink.

        }

        if(url&&text){
          $('#editor').data('kendoEditor').exec("insertHtml", { html: link });
        }

        $(".link-url").val("");
        $("#k-editor-link-class").data().kendoDropDownList.select(-1);
        $(".link-text").val("");

            template: $("#insertSymbol-template").html()
          }
