conversion for this function gives me undefined error

Hello Guys,

I am new to CKEditor. I have this task to convert FCKeditor to CKeditor. Everything goes fine except for some functions that when I converted it, it does not work anymore and it gives this error:

oCKEditor is undefined.

Here is what I did:

FCKEditor code:

function overwriteTextbox(textboxID, overwriteValue) {
   var oEditor = opener.FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance(textboxID); //you have to reach the API in the opener
   oEditor.SetHTML(overwriteValue);
}

I convert it to CKEditor code:

function overwriteTextbox(textboxID, overwriteValue) {
   var oCKEditor = opener.CKEDITOR.instances.textboxID; //you have to reach the API in the opener
   oCKEditor.setData(overwriteValue);
}

Why does I have this error?

Lastly, the opener.focus() and self.close() javascript codes does not work anymore. These work before in FCKeditor codes.

Thanks,

Re: conversion for this function gives me undefined error

The above function is called by this javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
   var frm = opener.getElement('frmMain');
   var undef = frm.plop;
   
<%      for each emailType in request("emailTypes") %>
   if (frm.<%= destinationPrefix %>_<%= emailType %>EmailSubject != undef) {
      frm.<%= destinationPrefix %>_<%= emailType %>EmailSubject.value = '<%= replace("" & rs(sourcePrefix & "_" & emailType & "EmailSubject"), "'", "\'") %>';
   }
   if (frm.<%= destinationPrefix %>_<%= emailType %>EmailBody != undef) {
      overwriteTextbox('<%= destinationPrefix %>_<%= emailType %>EmailBody', '<%= replace(replace("" & rs(sourcePrefix & "_" & emailType & "EmailBody"), "'", "\'"), vbNewLine, "\n") %>');
   }
<%      next %>
   
   opener.focus();
   self.close();
</script>

The error is oCKEditor is undefined. Why it is? And the opener.focus() event and self.close() are not working anymore as it these work before in FCKeditor.

Thanks in advance.

Re: conversion for this function gives me undefined error

In IE this line gives an error:

oCKEditor.setData(overwriteValue);

'undefined' is not or not an object

Please let me know what's wrong with that... Thanks.

Re: conversion for this function gives me undefined error

Hahahaha.... I found the answer...

var oCKEditor = opener.CKEDITOR.instances.textboxID;

change to:

var oCKEditor = opener.CKEDITOR.instances[textboxID];

That should work now.. Thanks guys....
