Editor is not working properly while attaching editor to a textarea from the data returned by ajax.
First time ajax request it is working from 2nd time on wards it is not working, is there a way we can clear something like cache etc.

I am seeing the following error in the console

jquery.richtext.js:626 Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'selectNodeContents' on 'Range': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'.
    at saveSelection (jquery.richtext.js:626)
    at doSave (jquery.richtext.js:720)
    at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (jquery.richtext.js:341)
    at HTMLDocument.dispatch (jquery-1.12.4.min.js:3)
    at HTMLDocument.r.handle (jquery-1.12.4.min.js:3)

Thanks

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you calling the .richText() method more than once on the same input/textarea field?

You probably should create/initialize the editor once and update only the content through AJAX.

Please show me an example code of what you're trying to do.

Thank you for your quick response.
Please find the below URL where I written a sample code
Here is the URL : http://54.235.228.47

When I click "Show Form" first time it is working, but when I click second time it is not working.

@vneerukattu:
-Have you edited in the js? Because the ? isn't visible on bottom right?
-If you make an other test, with a hyperlink what's going on then?

@vneerukattu:

Please use the latest version of RichText, quite a few updates have been made since the version you are working with.

However, the error you get might still occur on the latest version. Try creating an unique ID for your textarea in your PHP, return it to your AJAX code and start .richText() on this unique ID. This should make it work.

Hi

Updated with the latest version of Richtext, and also a unique ID for the textarea, but still now luck.

Hi

It is working now, I changed a small piece of code in javascript.
Changed document.getElementById(editorID) to document.getElementsByClassName("richText-editor")[0] as it is not able to pick the updated id of the richText-editor div.

Once again thank you for the support

Thank you for your solution.
However, I suppose that your solution won't work if you have multiple editors on one page. I will try to resolve this issue anytime soon, but feel free to have a look on this yourself if you have time and motivation.

I've found the issue and updated the editor. In my tests, with the latest updates, AJAX "reloads" of the editor did work and I could as well load multiple editors at once this way.

Please keep me up-to-date if you encounter further issues.
