Question

I have problem with dijit.Editor. After removing it’s DOM from document and re-appending it, it’s value is cleared.

The test for this is in this fiddle:
According to commented alerts in example, the value is being cleared after appending. It is still in memory after removing editor.

I tried to add “reloading” code to onLoadDeferred. But it is not called when reappending editor.

I cannot easily call reload on it by myself, because I am re-appending whole form in my app. I don’t know anything about form’s contents.

Also, I am quite sure that this is dijit.Editor’s issue. I tested reappending javascript generated Iframe (example here) and it is working.

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

I modified your iframe javascript test so it writes to iframe document only once and it seems to behave the same way the Dijit Editor does.

I think you will have to set value of the Editor every time you placeAt it, but you do not have to do it manually, you can use one of these:

1. dojo/aspect:

   aspect.after(editor, "placeAt", lang.hitch(editor, function() {
       this.set("value", this.get("value"));
   }));
   

2. dojo/declare:

   var Editor = declare([DijitEditor], {
       placeAt: function() {
           this.inherited(arguments);
           this.set("value", this.get("value"));
       }
   });
