I’m using this lightweight jQuery plugin to create a rich-text editor:Batiste RTE jQuery Plugin

As part of a more complex form, I have the functionality of clearing changes and I want to be able to do this for the editor as well.

I keep the initial content in a variable, and I want to do something like: setContent(INITIAL_CONTENT), but I can’t find a way to access the RTE object because $('textarea').rte(some-options-here) returns the textarea object rather than the rte object.

Any idea on how to make this happen?

  1. I would just echo what Shaun said here, but I would also like to give an example of it in action. Note that one of the things that this example does is store off the INITIAL_CONTENT in a global variable because the RTE control replaces the textarea, not hides it, which I find a little unnerving.

    If you’re concerned about it being in a global variable, you could probably store the initial contents off in some member of the DOM after it’s created, but that’s probably unnecessary for your purposes.
