Bootstrap and wysihtml5 updating textarea

Question

I'm using :

• wysihtml5
• bootstrap-wysihtml5.js

I have a textarea called Booking_CancellationComments_CancellationPolicy and am making it a wysihtml5 textarea using this code:

$('#Booking_CancellationComments_CancellationPolicy').wysihtml5(options);

I'm trying to update it later using:

$('#Booking_CancellationComments_CancellationPolicy').val(data.Booking.CancellationComments.CancellationPolicy);

But the textarea isn't updating. I've looked at lots of answers on Stack Overflow and not show how to update the textarea using the initialisation method I've used.

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this:

$('#Booking_CancellationComments_CancellationPolicy').data("wysihtml5").editor.setValue(data.Booking.CancellationComments.CancellationPolicy);
