Textarea editor Redactor. Insert value with jQuery

Have field textarea id="tr" using HTML editor Redactor last version trying to set value of the field exactly haw it is described in API Doc :

$('#tr').redactor('insertText', 'text');

or 

$('#tr').redactor('insertHtml', 'text');

What am I doing wrong ?

Solution

  • If you are using an old version of redactor, you can try the set API, which I think is a lower-level version of insertText/insertHtml.

    So in your example, it should be:

    $('#tr').redactor('set', 'Your text goes here');

    Update (2015-04-21): In redactor v2, the name of the set method was changed:

    $('#tr').redactor('code.set', 'Your text goes here');

    Another Update (2020-04-20): In their latest version, Imperavi changed their syntax and provided two ways to achieve this solution:

    const editor = $R('#tr');
editor.source.setCode('Your text goes here');

    or

    $R('#tr', 'source.setCode', 'Your text goes here');
