IE exec command rich text editing

I'm tring to insert an image in a WYSIWYG editor, but I can't insert images in Internet Explorer(6/7), although it works fine within Firefox. It fails without throwing any errors.

This is what I'm using:

execCommand('insertImage', false, 'absolute/path/to/an/image');
Solution

  • Thanks for the answer, but as it turned out my problem appeared because IE couldn't insert the image if my iframe (the richeditor container) didn't have focus. So I used the following code just before trying to use execCommand and it worked.

    document.getElementById('iframeId').contentWindow.focus();
