FCKeditorAPI is not defined

Hi,
I want to insert html tekst in the textarea after creating the fckedit, using external javascript. This is what I did as a test:

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('data','100%','500','Default' ) ;
oFCKeditor.Value = "Starting text";
oFCKeditor.Create() ;
var fck = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance("data"); ;
fck.InsertHtml("Haligali");

The fckeditor is displayed and fully functional, but the javascript console displays: FCKeditorAPI is not defined

What would be the proper way to do achieve this goal? How can I get the correct instance handle? I am using FCKeditor_2.0rc2.
regards,
Robert

RE: FCKeditorAPI is not defined

The FCKeditor API is not accessible immediately after a call to Create() - instead you need to write a function called FCKeditor_OnComplete which FCKE calls when it has finished initialising, at which point the API is accessible. A handle to the just-initialised instance is passed as a parameter. This is not documented in the wiki, but is described in a couple of the HTML sample files. Does that help?

RE: FCKeditorAPI is not defined

I am using FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('instance_name') from a pop-up page that calls on the opener page that has the fckeditor. when I use the function GetHTML() it returns undefined as I am trying to display the content in the editor on a seperate page in a template as my own custom preview. WHat am I doing wrong?

here is the code on the pop-up page:

var oEditor = window.opener.FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('adc_content');
document.write(oEditor.GetHTML() );

thanks in advance!
