Question

I have a page where I am using accordion and tinymce together.

For each expand/collapse combo in the accordion control, I have an edit button. Clicking the edit button displays a form with 2 inputs. The first one is a textbox, and the second one is a textarea.

I want the textarea to be a tinymce instance. The accordion control has multiple expand/collapse controls and I want a tinymce instance to appear for each of them.

My tinymce init code is as follows

tinyMCE.init({
    // General options
    mode : "textareas",
    theme : "advanced",
    plugins : "safari,pagebreak,style,layer,table,save,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,inlinepopups,insertdatetime,preview,media,searchreplace,print,contextmenu,paste,directionality,fullscreen,noneditable,visualchars,nonbreaking,xhtmlxtras,template",

    // Theme options
    theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,|,blockquote,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,bullist,numlist,|,advhr,|,forecolor,formatselect",
    // theme_advanced_buttons1 : "save,newdocument,|,bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,styleselect,formatselect,fontselect,fontsizeselect",
    theme_advanced_buttons2 : "", //"cut,copy,paste,pastetext,pasteword,|,search,replace,|,bullist,numlist,|,outdent,indent,blockquote,|,undo,redo,|,link,unlink,anchor,image,cleanup,help,code,|,insertdate,inserttime,preview,|,forecolor,backcolor",
    theme_advanced_buttons3 : "", //"tablecontrols,|,hr,removeformat,visualaid,|,sub,sup,|,charmap,emotions,iespell,media,advhr,|,print,|,ltr,rtl,|,fullscreen",
    theme_advanced_buttons4 : "", //"insertlayer,moveforward,movebackward,absolute,|,styleprops,|,cite,abbr,acronym,del,ins,attribs,|,visualchars,nonbreaking,template,pagebreak",
    theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
    theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
    theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
    theme_advanced_resizing : true,
});

When I load up the page on chrome and firefox, the accordion control appears as expected. However the tinymce control only appears in the first collapse div. The rest of the collapse div’s show regular textareas and not tinymce editors.

I have not tested on IE.

Can someone help please. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

Ensuring that the id’s of all the textarea elements was different fixed the issue. The textarea is where tinymce editor plugin appears
