How to add data to CKEditor using JQuery

Question

Everytime a page loads I need to load text into the CK Editor using JQuery, in order to get data from CK Editor I use

var editor_data = CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].getData(); 

now is there a similar function I could use to put the data back into the editor?

I'm using ajax to set the data like this

$.ajax({   type: "POST",   url: "/inc/ajax/basic.php?menu_id="+menu_id+"&info=3",   success: function(msg){      CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].setData(msg);   } }); 

What am I doing wrong

Answer 1

Try this:

CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].setData(html) 

Where 'html' is a string containing content to edit.

Answer 2

Because its not an array then just replace the instance like this

CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.setData(html)
