inserthtml doesnt work in my case

Hi everyone, I'm trying to insert some HTML code into my editor but for some reason the inserthtml function won't work in this case:

<textarea name="DESCRIPTION"></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'DESCRIPTION' );
editor.insertHtml('TEST');
</script>

What do I do wrong?

Re: inserthtml doesnt work in my case

CKEDITOR.replace() is asynchronous. When it finishes the editor is not necessarily ready yet, so you should use a callback.

var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'DESCRIPTION' );
editor.on('instanceReady', function() {
   editor.insertHtml('TEST');
});
