CKEditor not yet initialized, use ckeditor() with callback.

My code:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#InviteHead').ckeditor(setActionsForInvite(this));
}


function setActionsForInvite(element) {
    var inviteTextArea = $(element).ckeditorGet();

    if ($(element).attr('id') == 'InviteHead') {
        inviteTextArea.on('blur', doAction('#InviteHead', "blur", CONFIG.get('INVITE_HEAD')));
    }
}


function doAction(element, event, defaultText) {
    if (event == "blur") {
        if ($(element).val() == "") {
            $(element).val(defaultText);
        }          
    } 
}

I get a an error on the

 var inviteTextArea = $(element).ckeditorGet();

line saying: "CKEditor not yet initialized, use ckeditor() with callback."

Re: CKEditor not yet initialized, use ckeditor() with callba

With

.ckeditor(setActionsForInvite(this));

you aren't calling the ckeditor function with a callback, you are executing the setActionsForInvite function with the parameter "this" and passing the result to the ckeditor function.

So you are indeed executing setActionsForInvite and its ckeditorGet before creating the editor instance.

Sorry if this is JavaScript 101, but how should i make that method a callback without executing it first?

Thanks!

Re: CKEditor not yet initialized, use ckeditor() with callba

Ok so i changed line

$('#InviteHead').ckeditor(setActionsForInvite(this));

    $('#InviteHead').ckeditor(function () {
         setActionsForInvite(this);
    });

I put a break point inside the setActionsForInvite() and it never executes...

Ok it turns out i was trying to apply an editor to an element that was not a textarea.
