How to: current editor?

[DarkPikachu]

how do you check if you're using the BBC editor or Visual editor??

[Chris]

The easiest would be to test for which is currently visible

$('.editor.visual-editor').is(':visible') //returns true if visual editor (aka preview tab) is visible

If you've saved a reference to the wysiwyg data object then the currentEditorName property would also yield that info ("bbcode" or "visual")

[DarkPikachu]

how would you save a reference to the wysiwyg data object??

I'm not trying to sound stupid...
this is more of a reference thread to somewhat serve as a documentation rather than a public discussion. (for the other noobs)
as-is my other "How to:" thread.

thanx

This is not so much a Proboards question as a question regarding understanding jQuery and jQuery UI and how it works which I believe someone posted a link for you to go and study. Basically when a widget such as the wysiwyg widget gets created it attaches a data object filled with the properties and methods it offers to the element upon which it was invoked, in the case of the wysiwyg that would be the textarea bearing the "wysiwyg-textarea" class. I noticed that you flippantly dismissed the link but it would actually help you to know that stuff.
