I have found a few similar posts on this on Stack overflow but there are none with an answer that is working.
I have a few tabs on a page, depending on that li they click on they will see a specific tab. In one of the tabs there is a CKeditor which is initiated on the click of the li. When they user clicks off that specific tab onto another one, and then returns there is this error:
Uncaught The editor instance "employDesc" is already attached to the provided element.
Here is the JS:
$('.addVacancy').click( function() {
if(CKEDITOR.instances.employDesc) {
alert('instance exists');
var editor = CKEDITOR.instances[employDesc];
if (editor) {
editor.destroy(true);
}
alert('distroyed');
}
CKEDITOR.replace('employDesc');
});
Both of the alerts appear but then it breaks as the error comes on in the console. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
You're trying to use a variable named employDesc
, you should use CKEDITOR.instances["employDesc"]
;
or just
$('.addVacancy').click( function() {
var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.employDesc;
if (editor) {
alert('instance exists');
editor.destroy(true);
alert('destroyed');
}
CKEDITOR.replace('employDesc');
});
It's the same that you were trying to do.
