Hi, @artf
- As i have read allowScripts:1 allow grapesjs to load scripts . when i load a LandingPage first time it works fine . it load all javascript. After this when i use editor.setComponents(html) or pageManager.select(pageId) for the same html string that used in LandingPage . javascript not work .
const editor = grapes.init({
container: "#gjs",
appendOnClick: 1,
allowScripts: 1,
jsInHtml: true,
fromElement: false,
})
- appendOnClick:1 it allow the block to add Onclick and it works fine. but it appends the block into the selected element . My Question is that who to append a block on a specific position Onclick . Actually i want to append the block as the nextSibling of the selected element.

Great suggestion about [QUESTIONS] editor.setComponents(html) and pageManager.select(pageId) not load js scripts! While this specific feature isn't yet in the core API, there are several ways to achieve similar behavior.
Using the event system:
editor.on('component:update', (component) => {
// your logic here
});
Alternative approaches:
- Listen to
selector:addfor CSS selector changes - Use
selector:customfor custom rules - Tap into the
change:*events for fine-grained tracking - Build a plugin that extends the editor with this capability
Making it official: If this feature would benefit many users, consider opening a formal Feature Request on the GrapesJS repo with:
- A detailed use case
- Code example showing the desired behavior
- Why this matters for your workflow
The core team is receptive to well-motivated feature requests backed by real use cases.
