AJAX update editor text

[spectral]

hi,

i'm desperately trying to access the textarea within ajax-requests.

the code (php page):

update_text.php works just fine (as i see when alerting these text values).

Code: Select all

$(document).ready(function() {

   $.ajaxSetup({
      url:   'update_text.php',
      type:   'POST'
   });

   $('.wymeditor').wymeditor({
      html:      "", //doesn't help if omitted / commented out
      preInit:   function(wym) {
         $.ajax({
            data:      {txt:'', action:'init'},
            success:   function(ret) {
               //$('.wymeditor').empty();
               $('.wymeditor').val(ret); //doesn't work
               //alert(ret); //works
               
            }
         });
      },
      postInit:   function(wym) {
         $('.wymupdate').click(function() {
         
            var temp = $('.wymeditor').val();
            
            $.ajax({
               data:      {txt:temp, action:'save_and_load'},
               success:   function(ret) {
                  //alert(ret);
                  $('.wymeditor').val(ret); //doesn't work either
               }
            });
         });
      }
   });
});

the form:

Code: Select all

<form action="#" method="post">
<textarea class="wymeditor"></textarea>
<input type="submit" class="wymupdate" value="update" />
</form>

i tried

Code: Select all

wym.html

Code: Select all

wym.html(ret);

nor

Code: Select all

wym.html = ret;

works



somebody any solutions how to assign the read text values to the editors textarea?


thanks a lot.

Try something like this:

WYM_INSTANCES[0].xhtml()


I know that's not the right way to do it, but it worked for me.

hi rostr,

first thanks for the tip.

i tried

Code: Select all

WYM_INSTNCES[0].xhtml(ret); //your suggestion

WYM_INSTNCES[0].html(ret); //my aproaches
$(´.wymeditor´).attr(´value´, ret);

all didn´t work for me - editor still blank!


only the

Code: Select all

html

option within the wymeditor setup works, but you can not manipulate it.

there must be a way to solve this arrrghh


take care & bye.

WYM_INSTNCES[0].xhtml(ret); //your suggestion

WYM_INSTNCES[0].html(ret);

Well, in the above, WYM_INSTANCES is misspelled. Might that be it?[/quote]
