Reset TinyMCE box

Question

I am using TinyMCE editor. I want to clear the content inside the editor box with some button click present on my form.

Can you let me know how to do so?

Answer 1

This can be easily done (no need to use the slow jQuery tinymce build) using the following code as onclick-action of your button:

// 'content' is tinymce default,
// but if your textarea got an ID that is the one you need!
var my_editor_id = 'content';

// set the content empty
tinymce.get(my_editor_id).setContent(''); 

Answer 2

From the TinyMCE jQuery Plugin documentation, can be easily found from the page you linked:

// Will change the contents of an textarea with the ID "someeditor"
$('#someeditor').html('Some contents...');

// Will change the contents all text areas with the class tinymce
$('textarea.tinymce').html('Some contents...');

// Gets the contents from a specific editor
alert($('#someeditor').html());

Try setting it to empty string, might be just what you need.
