I have tried no of times how can I do this, unfortunately I could not figure out how do I integrate the codemirror library in HTML file.
I have one HTML file and I downloaded the codemirror. I also included the lib folder in my html directory but when I see it in the browser the codemirror editor is not been created.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Web Editor</title>
<!-- Create a simple CodeMirror instance -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/codemirror.css">
<script src="lib/codemirror.js"></script>
<script>
var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(myTextarea, {
lineNumbers: true
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="tag">HTML (Body)</div>
<div id="html" class="content" contenteditable></div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="tag">CSS</div>
<div id="css" class="content" contenteditable></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="tag">JavaScript</div>
<div id="js" class="content" contenteditable></div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="tag">Output</div>
<iframe id="output">Hello</iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
How can I create a sample codemirror editor ? Thanks you.
You are supposed to first define a myTextarea
in your codemirror instance. Just include a textarea
in your html file like this,
<textarea id="myCode"></textarea>
Now, define myTextarea
like this,
var myTextarea = document.getElementById("myCode");
Hence, finally your file would look like this,
<body>
<textarea id="myCode"></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var myTextarea = document.getElementById("myCode");
editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(myTextarea, {
lineNumbers: true
});
};
</script>
</body>
