getData() returns old contents after the first time (PHP/JS)

EDIT:

EDIT 2:

EDIT 3:

   edinstance.destroy();
   alert(edinstance.getData()); //Still returns the old contents of the editor

   edinstance = null; //Tried setting the instance variable to null before getting the new instance from the textarea
   edinstance = $('textarea#contents').ckeditorGet(); //This causes an error "edinstance is null"

EDIT 4:

Background:

contents

"<textarea id=\"contents\" class=\"article\">" . $articleContent->getBody() . "</textarea>"

edinstance

function attachEditor()
{
   if(typeof edinstance != "undefined")
   {
      edinstance.destroy();
      //alert('editor destroyed');
   }   
   $('textarea#contents').ckeditor();
   edinstance = $('textarea#contents').ckeditorGet();
}

Scenario:

edinstance.getData()

editorinstance

edinstance.getData()

.val()editorinstance.updateElement()

i.contentWindow is null
[] if(c){var u=n.getDocumentElement().con...on(){return this.$.childNodes.length;  //ckeditor.js line 19

Have you tried to do the same without jQuery methods?
Could you publish a test case online?

Re: getData() returns old contents after the first time (PHP

I *currently* don't have the time to set up a full test case and jQuery isn't really an option.
While the issue isn't that urgent, I was hoping this would be a common problem due to some beginner oversight or something.

Using the Safari Activity Log I observed that each time I perform the AJAX call, the CKEditor resources were being loaded again and again on top of the ones that were already there. Could my problem be caused by the fact that my original form elements still stay present somewhere in the DOM even after I inject new ones into the same div ? Or is that just a harmless side-effect of using AJAX ?

Re: getData() returns old contents after the first time (PHP

getting the data directly from the iframe gives the correct data when getData() returns the old data.
so anyone who is getting frustrated on this issue just get the iframe data instead of using getData()
sample code
var iframe=$("iframe",parentnode);
var value=$("body",iframe.contents()).html();
