styleWithCSS for IE

Question

I'm building a custom RTE that converts user input to a homebrewn markup, now idiot that I am I did this using an iframe with designMode = "On" and got it to work in firefox using styleWithCSS = false so that I could easily convert the <b> (yes... b :( ) into my markup which would then output the proper code instead of me having to read from <span style="... now my problem is, I cant seem to find something that looks or acts like styleWithCSS = false for IE, Chrome or Opera, any suggestions are welcome.

Its okay if its `` instead of `` as long as its one tag for one "effect" — Kristoffer Sall-Storgaard, Feb 11 '09 at 10:19

Use this:

            try {
                Editor.execCommand("styleWithCSS", 0, false);
            } catch (e) {
                try {
                    Editor.execCommand("useCSS", 0, true);
                } catch (e) {
                    try {
                        Editor.execCommand('styleWithCSS', false, false);
                    }
                    catch (e) {
                    }
                }
            }

Before any other execCommands. Tested on ff3 ie7 ie8 safari chrome

why do you try the styleWithCSS twice, once with 0 and once with false? Won't 0 cast to false? – thomasrutter Oct 26 '10 at 06:34
Editor.execCommand("styleWithCSS", false, false) will not work on some old browsers. I do not remember exactly witch one :) – Hossein Aug 19 '11 at 00:59
