First thank you very much you have solved my problem indirectly just from reading this post.

I chose this stupid editor as I wanted to keep a single library as i have used niceEdit and TinyMCE before and have loved them however I thought this no problem.

Like you said no documentation I set everything built a custom photomanager got everything working then all I wanted to do was set the content.

AAAAAAH there is no setter method for the html string have to dump every time and rebuild the object well lesson learned dont use Jhtmlarea if you need to edit the text you write

Thank you for the comment. In what context are you trying to set the editor? Most times you can simply load the current html into the textarea that the editor replaces and it will be automatically placed into the editor. For example (in a PHP context) if you echo a value from a database into the textarea it will automatically be placed into the editor.

Thanks for the helpful info. I too found jHtmlArea to be lacking almost any information about its methods etc. I didn’t even know about “toHtmlString”. Any idea how to SET the contents of the editor? Would it be $(selector).htmlarea(‘toHtmlString’, newHtml) ?

Thanks!
