This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

FCKeditor JavaScript API

FCKeditor offers a complete JavaScript API so you can interact with it once the editor is loaded and running.

Once loaded, the editor registers a global object called FCKeditorAPI. This object offers the entry point to interact with any editor instance placed in a page (you can have more than one).

NOTE The FCKeditorAPI object will not be available during the page load. You need to wait for the editor to be loaded to use it. If you need to interact with the editor right after is has been loaded, use the "FCKeditor_OnComplete" function (see "Events").
