Microsoft Editor browser plugin doesn't work on TinyMCE HTML Editor.

Question

Microsoft Editor browser plugin doesn't work on TinyMCE HTML Editor. I have a website where I have provided the users with an HTML editor to enter their responses, I would like Microsoft editor to work on the HTML editor, so that users can draft better responses, However Microsoft editor plugin doesn't work on this editor. Can you suggest what can be done for Editor plugin to work on this HTML editor. This can be tested on this link Free WYSIWYG HTML Editor | Download TinyMCE or Get Cloud Version | TinyMCE

Hi @Anand,

This seems to be a compatibility issue. Your site's editor is written in <iframe>, and text is not included in <textarea>, which may prevent Microsoft Editor from detecting. As an official example, <textarea> is detectable.

As an alternative, you can use the built-in Microsoft Editor feature of Microsoft Edge (You can enable it in Edge settings):

This can work on your editor, but there's one more thing that needs to be done, which is replacing spellcheck="false" with spellcheck="true". By default, your editor has spellcheck="false", preventing the built-in Microsoft Editor feature from working:

The only thing you need to do is add/modify as spellcheck="true" to every element where you want Microsoft Editor to work. Of course, it is always recommended to seek help from your editor provider if you need to modify something.
