Custom VFE functionality

System

I have a table in a VFE and when a style is selected from the toolbar's drop-down list, I would like for the selected row to inherit the style and/or CSS attributes defined in the associated JS function.

Here is my JS code:

[HTML]
// ---------

eWebEditProExecCommandHandlers["cpb-table-subheading"] = function(sEditorName, strCmdName, strTextData, lData)

{

var vfe = eWebEditPro.instances[sEditorName].editor;

var toPaste = vfe.getSelectedHTML();

toPaste = toPaste.replace(/class=txt/gm,'style="font-size:15px;color:#ff0000;background:#ffffcc"');

vfe.pasteHTML

(

toPaste

);

}

[/HTML]

So, what I'm noticing is that it's pasting the HTML but my understanding from Ektron's documentation is that it's supposed to replace the selected text/HTML. It's not doing this. Further, when the new content is added, the styles -- which, in my dummy example refers only to CSS and not a particular class definition -- do not appear. When viewing the HTML source, however, I can see that the new HTML was incorporated as intended (but it didn't replace the old HTML, as described).

Has anyone seen this? Should I use a different VFE function instead?

pasteHTML works for me as documented, replacement and all. Please note that some ektron calls clear out user's selection.
What happens if you simply comment out vfe.pasteHTML call and run this custom element? Did you retain a selection?
