I created a function a while back to make clearing CKE easier. 99% of the time i only ever run 1 CK instance so i usually just destroy all instances. The problem is that i have CKE on a form in a popup jquery dialog box (probably quite common).
The function i wrote was
quite basic but it does the job... well it was doing the job. I've never noticed any issues with it before, but im running a local copy of a website while in development and it just doesnt seem to work. I have the dialog box clear CKE on close like so
I console logged before and after the function executs and according to firebug it does clear the instance:
before (shows data in the instances object):
after (shows no data in the insatnces object):
however when i open a new popup and cke trys to run i get
Can anyone provide any info on this as im lost now.
The function i wrote was
function destroyCKE(i) { if(i == undefined) { jQuery.each(CKEDITOR.instances, function(){ eval("CKEDITOR.instances."+this.name+".destroy()"); }); } else { if(eval("CKEDITOR.instances."+i) != undefined) eval("CKEDITOR.instances."+i+".destroy()"); } }
quite basic but it does the job... well it was doing the job. I've never noticed any issues with it before, but im running a local copy of a website while in development and it just doesnt seem to work. I have the dialog box clear CKE on close like so
$('<div></div>').attr('id', 'theDiag').dialog({ modal: true, width: 700, close: function(){ destroyCKE(); //--- call to destroy all CKE instances }, position: 'top', buttons:{ } })
I console logged before and after the function executs and according to firebug it does clear the instance:
before (shows data in the instances object):
Object { timestamp="A7HG4HT", version="3.4", more...}
after (shows no data in the insatnces object):
Object {}
however when i open a new popup and cke trys to run i get
uncaught exception: [CKEDITOR.editor] The instance "content" already exists.
q is null [Break On This Error] A.setStart(B.$,z.startOffset);A.setEnd... u=s&&s[1];if(t)q.attributes.width=t;
Can anyone provide any info on this as im lost now.
