iframe is loaded dynamically into container div inside function.

With cc.text(content); I try to update #code content.

I check changed text in runtime, it’s updated but on screen value remains the same.

I am not a javascript pro, so any comments are welcome:

    function ShowEditor(content) {
        var url = "XmlEditor/Editor.htm";
        slHost.css('width', '0%');
        jobPlanContainer.css('display', 'block');
        frame = $('<iframe id="' + jobPlanIFrameID + '" src="' + url + '" class="frame" frameborder="0" />');
        frame.appendTo(jobPlanIFrameContainer);

        $(frame).load(function () {
            var ifr = frame[0];
            var doc = ifr.contentDocument || ifr.contentWindow.document;
            var jdoc = $(doc);
            var cc = jdoc.contents().find("#code");
            // var tst = cc.text();
            // alert(tst);
            cc.text(content);
        });
    }

I get the text in commented code, but fail to update #code content.

iframe holds the following html where I omit details inside head and script:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head></head>
<body>
<form>
<textarea id="code" name="code">some texts</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>

    Your XML editor doesn’t read more than once what’s in the textarea.

    A simple solution would be to generate in javascript the iframe content with the desired textarea content instead of loading it and then try to change the textarea content.

    In fact (depending on the capacities of your XML Editor), you probably can do that directly in a generated text area instead of using a whole iframe to do it.
