how to check classes of node inside tiny mce ?

Question

I want to check if the node inside the tiny mce has a class starting with word 'border'. I tried to retrieve classes of the node, using

 tinyMCE.activeEditor.dom.getClasses();

but it returned null. Is there any way to do this ? I need to find if the node has any class staring with word 'border', if it has then replace that class with other.

No problem. Assuming you have only one node inside your editor it is:

class_string = tinyMCE.activeEditor.getBody().firstChild.class;

class_string_array = class_string.split(" ");

for (i=0; i < class_string_array.length; i++){
   if (class_string_array[i].search("border") !== -1) {
      alert("class found!");
      class_string_array[i] = "new_class";

      class_string = class_string_array.join(" ");
      tinyMCE.activeEditor.getBody().firstChild.setAttribute('class',class_string);

      break;      
   }
}

It is much easier to use jQuery:

node = tinyMCE.activeEditor.getBody().firstChild;
if ( $(node).hasClass("border_xxx") ){ // need to check for explicit className
   $(node).removeClass("border_xxx");
   $(node).addClass("new_class");
} 

EDIT: If you want to check for every node inside the content you will need to go through the body-domtree recursivly and check for each node:

function getTextNodesValues(tinymce,node) {
    if ( $(node).hasClass("border_xxx") ){ // need to check explicit className
       $(node).removeClass("border_xxx");
       $(node).addClass("new_class");
    } 

    for (var i=0; i<node.childNodes.length; i++) {
      el = node.childNodes[i];
      if ( $(node).hasClass("border_xxx") ){ // need to check explicit className
         $(node).removeClass("border_xxx");
         $(node).addClass("new_class");
      } 
      if (el.childNodes.length > 0) getTextNodesValues(tinymce,el);
    }
}

getTextNodesValues(tinymce, getTextNodesValues(tinymce,node) );

Should get you all Classes inside the Editor:

 tinyMCE.activeEditor.dom.getClasses();

but it is not easy to replace them with that info.
