WYSIWYG control

[Xikeon]

What's the best way to control the WYSIWYG editor? For the Post Templates I wanted to add content to the editor and I found the event 'setContent' in the source, but I have to add it to a timeout (even after document ready) for it to work.

Is there a better way to set the content for the editor?

$(function () {
   if( proboards.data('route').name == 'new_thread' ) {
setTimeout( function() {
           $('textarea[name="message"]').wysiwyg( 'setContent', '<b>test</b> test' );
       }, 100);
   }
});

We would need a custom event added in via ProBoards, as the visual editor is dynamically built. The "ready" event is working correctly, as the DOM has loaded, but not with the visual editor at the time the event is fired.

For now, you would have to use a "load" event, or create a custom function to watch for it.

Yea, what I was hoping for that the visual editor would run on DOM ready and pick up the changes I would make to the textarea (as I believe, out of the top of my head, the wysiwyg runs at the end of the page). But that didn't happen sadly .

Thanks for the input, I'm going to see what I can work out.
