Question : TinyMCE updating textarea by clicking on a button

Hi,

I'm using TinyMCE and need to update its textarea with another Div's content. If I place this code:
"document.getElementById('mceEditor1').value = document.getElementById('toupdate').innerHTML;"
and run it when the page loads, there is no problem.
However if I place that code in a function, this will not work. I'm sure the problem is coming from TinyMCE because when I commented "tinyMCE.init" the textarea "mceEditor1" was populated with data from DIV "toupdate".
Any idea how I can work around this problem please?

Code Snippet:

1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6:

//function which is not working when "tinyMCE.init" code is active $('#button1').click(function() { document.getElementById('mceEditor1').value =document.getElementById('toupdate').innerHTML; return false; });

Answer : TinyMCE updating textarea by clicking on a button

Doesn't this code do the trick? No hacking needed ... and it seems to be the normal way to go.

var inst = tinyMCE.getInstanceById('content'); inst.setHTML('my cool new html');
