Reloading HTML code with CKSouce with aTEXTAREA tag

I'm using the CKSource to create HTML code to be loaded into a database.

The issue I have is that one of the HTML pages I have has a form with a TEXTAREA in it.

So when I reload that code (using php) into the CKEditor, the <./TEXTAREA> tag messes things up, and the rest of my code shows up out side of the CKEditor text area window.

This is an issue because when I make my changes and resubit the code to the database, the code past the ending TEXTAREA tag gets cut off.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
-Joe

Re: Reloading HTML code with CKSouce with aTEXTAREA tag

Hi, I had a similar issue with another editor before, and I solved it by waiting to load the content until after the editor had replaced the original textarea. That way it newer became a textarea inside a textarea...
Well, I haven't actually tried it with cke yet, but I hope that this post will give you some ideas of how to work around the problem...

Re: Reloading HTML code with CKSouce with aTEXTAREA tag

Out of curiosity I had to try ;-)

This worked fine for me:

$(function(){
$('#my_editor').ckeditor();
CKEDITOR.instances.my_editor.setData("<textarea name='foo'>text inside the textarea.</textarea>");
});

There is probably an even better way of doing it - but it is a start.
