Ckeditor crashes Safari and Chrome on Mac

When CkEditor gets focus in the following code, Safari and Chrome on Mac both crash hard. Any ideas for fixes or workarounds to clear cke's text upon focus? Thanks in advance!

<body onload="init();">
    <textarea name="cke"> Enter text  </textarea>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function init() {
            var editor = CKEDITOR.replace('cke', {});
            editor.on('focus', function(e) { e.editor.setData(''); });
        }

Re: Ckeditor crashes Safari and Chrome on Mac

calling setData resets the iframe that just got focus, and it seems that Webkit isn't ready for that.
you can use simply something like this:

            editor.on('focus', function(e) { e.editor.document.getBody().setHtml(''); });

I found I could avoid the crash by clearing ckeditor asynchronously using a one ms timer, but your solution is much cleaner. Thanks for the tip!
