setContent of an textarea with tinyMCE

Question

I have some textareas and all of them are with tinyMCE.

I would like to set the content of the specific textarea, but I can't find how.

I have tryed this:

 tinyMCE.get('title').setContent(selected_article_title);

here is my textarea:

<textarea style="width: 95%;" name="Title"  id="title"></textarea>

And here my tinyMCE init:

tinyMCE.init({
// General options
mode : "specific_textareas",
theme : "advanced",
width: "100%",
plugins : "pagebreak,paste,fullscreen,visualchars",

// Theme options
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "code,|,bold,italic,underline,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,|,fullscreen,|,bullist,numlist,|,pasteword",
theme_advanced_buttons2 :"",
theme_advanced_buttons3 :"",
theme_advanced_buttons4 :"",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
valid_elements : "i,sub,sup",
invalid_elements : "p, script",
editor_deselector : "mceOthers"
});

I don't know why this is not working, I am using the exemple from the tinyMCE website http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/API3:method.tinymce.Editor.setContent

Answer 1

I think this will solve your problem

it works fine for TinyMCE v:4..

// Sets the HTML contents of the activeEditor editor
tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('<span>some</span> html');

// Sets the raw contents of the activeEditor editor
tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('<span>some</span> html', {format : 'raw'});

// Sets the content of a specific editor (my_editor in this example)
tinyMCE.get('my_editor').setContent(data); // here my_editor is the id of a specific editor

// Sets the bbcode contents of the activeEditor editor if the bbcode plugin was added
tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('[b]some[/b] html', {format : 'bbcode'});

the link for the code is TinyMCE setContent

I have the solution (thans to Thariama who gives me some elements)

To set the content of an textarea using tinyMCE, we heve to fill in the textarea before init the tinyMCE. Also, the response is as follows:

1. Create the textarea:

   <textarea style="width: 95%;" name="Title"  id="title"></textarea>
   

2. Set the content of the textarea:

   $('#title').html(selected_article_title);
   

3. Init the tinyMCE:

   tinyMCE.init({
   // General options
   mode : "specific_textareas",
   theme : "advanced",
   width: "100%",
   plugins : "pagebreak,paste,fullscreen,visualchars",
   
   // Theme options
   theme_advanced_buttons1 : "code,|,bold,italic,underline,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,|,fullscreen,|,bullist,numlist,|,pasteword",
   theme_advanced_buttons2 :"",
   theme_advanced_buttons3 :"",
   theme_advanced_buttons4 :"",
   theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
   theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
   theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
   valid_elements : "i,sub,sup",
   invalid_elements : "p, script",
   editor_deselector : "mceOthers"
   });
   

And it's done ! Enjoy.

For tinymce version 4,

tinymce.get('title').setContent(selected_article_title);

works just fine - also after initializing the editor.
