    ed.addButton('example', {
         title : 'example.desc',
         image : './/',
         onclick : function() {
            tinyMCE.execCommand('mceInsertContent',false, 'Hello!!'); 
         }
      });
    }
});
</script>

<form method="post" action="dump.php">
    <textarea name="content"></textarea>
</form>

Problem

I want a button in tinymce toolbar. On click of that button "HELLO" should come in the editor wherevere the cursor is. Version:3.3.7 But I am not able to add that button. I have tried adding button like this ``` setup: function (ed) { ed.addButton('example', { title : 'example.desc', image : '../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/example/img/example.gif', onclick : function() { ed.windowManager.alert('Hello world!! Selection: ' + ed.selection.getContent({format : 'text'})); } }); } ```
