Issues with jQuery plugin

I am having problems with the jQuery plugin..

if I go to a web page ... set the jQ option true

CKEDITOR.config.jqueryOverrideVal = true;

and load jquery.js

I can create a new instance..

jQuery('textarea').ckeditor();

and I can put strings on that instance..

jQuery('textarea').val('some text for the editor');

but..

if I go to an existing editor instance inside an application or the CKeditor demo's I cannot get jQuery methods to work.

Please advise

PS here's an example of how this doesn't work for me.

go to: http://nightly.ckeditor.com/6925/_samples/replacebyclass.html

run jquerify on the page

set config option:

CKEDITOR.config.jqueryOverrideVal = true;

use firebug console to load jquery.js:

jQuery.getScript('http://somesite.com/editor/adapters/jquery.js');

try to run:

jQuery('#editor1').val('Some test text')

doesn't work !!! .. and I have this problem with several other sites
your help is appreciated.

Re: Issues with jQuery plugin

You have to create editor instance with jQuery('textarea').ckeditor(); in order to get jQuery('textarea').val() working.

Try these commands

CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.destroy();
jQuery('#editor1').ckeditor();
jQuery('#editor1').val('Some test text')

Re: Issues with jQuery plugin

this is what I was missing .. the destroy/create works great.. even for existing instances in apps where I don't have access to the original instantiate code..

jquery + ckeditor.. awesome combo.. thanks much
