TinyMCE (or JCE) - How to get the current node name and html content

Question

I am trying to check at which node the cursor / selection is.

I want to receive

• node name
• html inside node

Answer 1

Access to node is possible with:

tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.getNode() 

And there are 2 properties that will return the required values: nodeName and innerHTML

 tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.getNode().nodeName tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.getNode().innerHTML
