FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance for second Editor Broken in FireFox

I have two editors on one page their ID's are rtbPreViewActuals and rtbPreViewGiudance. When I try to use the FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance methode for them It will find the first editore and the second is Undefinded. This only happens in Firefox I am using ver3.0.3. Works fin in ie.

html....
<fckeditorv2:fckeditor id="rtbPreViewActuals" runat="server" width="500px" height="100px" toolbarstartexpanded="False" toolbarset="Basic" basepath="FCKeditor/" forcepasteasplaintext="true" geckousespan="false"></fckeditorv2:fckeditor>

<fckeditorv2:fckeditor id="rtbPreViewGiudance" runat="server" width="500px" height="100px" toolbarstartexpanded="False" toolbarset="Basic" basepath="FCKeditor/" forcepasteasplaintext="true" geckousespan="false"></fckeditorv2:fckeditor>

javascript....
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('rtbPreViewActuals');
var oEditor2 = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('rtbPreViewGiudance');

alert(oEditor); ' this is object, object
alert(oEditor2); ' this is undefinded

Before any FCKeditor developer trusts you or not, you could try with:

      var oEditor = null;
      var oEditor2 = null;

      function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance ) {
                        if ( 'rtbPreViewActuals' == editorInstance.Name ) {
                  oEditor = editorInstance;
                        } else if ( 'rtbPreViewGiudance' == editorInstance.Name ) {
                  oEditor2 = editorInstance;
                        }
      }

                  oEditor2 = editorInstance;
                        }
      }

any way how to use function FCKeditor_OnComplete() ?

and what if editor's id are not fixed such as:
JavaScript:

function meta_add(i)
{
   var i_intro      = null;
   var i_content = null;
   var i_intro      = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('text_intro_'+i);
   var introValue = i_intro.GetXHTML(true);
   var i_content = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('text_content_'+i);
   var contentValue = i_content.GetXHTML(true);
   alert(introValue+'+'+contentValue);return false;
}

HTML:

<input type="button" value="add meta" onclick="meta_add(<?=$lang_id;?>);">

thanks a lot in advance...

Re: FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance for second Editor Broken in FireFox

OnComplete is a function that fckeditor fires as an event passing its instance as an argument.

So, I lead you to create a var for each instance at page scope, not function one, so that you can access from meta data function, and set them values with code similar to the posted before.

By the way, OnComplete and other functions are documented on the site.

I can't be more explicit since I left fckeditor project a few months ago.

Good luck!
