JHtmlArea Set html

Question

I have been using the jhtmlarea for a wysiwyg editor. Most of it is working. Though I can't figure out how to set the html inside of the textarea.
I have tried .html, .val, .attr('value',''), .text, though none of them work.

Any suggestions on how to do this/a better solution?

Thanks

Answer 1

Set the original text area value and call updateHtmlArea:

$('#textAreaID').val(newHtml).htmlarea('updateHtmlArea');

Answer 2

This works for me

$("#yourTextArea").htmlarea('pasteHTML', "HTML to paste");

Hope it helps you and someone else :)
