I had already read that article, but it didn't work. However, there was an entry 2 days ago that solves it Thanks for all.

The docs say I should configure toolbar\_sticky: true but i cannot figure out how to put it on the Apex initialization javascript. Tks for your help. [Louis Moreaux](https://hashnode.com/@lmoreaux) [Mar 1, 2024](https://hashnode.com/posts/oracle-apex-231-tinymce/64412f978c8faa975529718c/comment/65d907c79fcea58bbe9e8de7#reply-65e21b0bb9aca9227d3f8822) Hi [Cezar Rosaneli](https://hashnode.com/@rosaneli), you can use this to enable the sticky toolbar: ``` function(options){ options.editorOptions.toolbar_sticky = true; options.editorOptions.toolbar_sticky_offset = 100; return options; }; ``` You will have to find the correct offset for your page [Dennys Montero](https://hashnode.com/@Denraver) [Dec 9, 2023](https://hashnode.com/posts/oracle-apex-231-tinymce/64412f978c8faa975529718c/comment/6574cd6ae9e5c65d1da9f6e5) Hi. How can I put the contains readonly and How Can I print the contains? Cause CKEDITOR it's not working anymore, for example CKeditor.contains. Thanks in advance.

Maybe you could give me a little more details about your problem. Regards, Louis [Mohamed A.Helal](https://hashnode.com/@maahelal) [May 13, 2023](https://hashnode.com/posts/oracle-apex-231-tinymce/64412f978c8faa975529718c/comment/645f672d4824b288fcf112d1) Just a tiny observation / question. plugins+= bit is fine but I could only get the toolbar to work when I referenced the toolbar array by index and append my plugin ... e.g. options.editorOptions.toolbar\[4\].items.push("image"); += syntax replaced the contents of the toolbar with just the new button [Louis Moreaux](https://hashnode.com/@lmoreaux) [May 13, 2023](https://hashnode.com/posts/oracle-apex-231-tinymce/64412f978c8faa975529718c/comment/645f672d4824b288fcf112d1#reply-645f80e8d8bff688bc8455a9) Hi [Mohamed A.Helal](https://hashnode.com/@maahelal), I double checked the code and the documentation and you are right, depending on the type of toolbar it could be an array or a string. I will update the blog post to handle it.
