How to clear TinyMCE draft after submitting? - caching

I'm using TinyMCE with great results, the only problem now is that using the autosave plugin and after submitting a form, when I try to create a new record the draft for the last submitted form gets loaded.
I've spent some hours looking for a solution without success so, if anyone knows how can I clear the draft after submitting (or onSubmit, or something) I'd be very grateful.
Thanks!

Would the following help?
<script>
$('#myForm').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// clear tinymce contents
tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('');
});
</script>

After the form has been submitted and you can clean up, e.g. empty the content are, also clear the localStorage by key:
// https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/tinymce/6/autosave/#autosave_prefix
localStorage.removeItem(
`tinymce-autosave-${window.location.pathname}${window.location.hash}${window.location.search}-comment-editor-draft`
);

Could not show content in CKeditor after the second time

In my project, the Ckeditor is part of a webpage, which is coded using GWT. So the interface to CKeditor is using Java.
Whenever the webpage is displayed, the CKeditor will be passed a HTML via setData(), which the CKeditor is supposed to show.
The problem is: CKeditor sometimes won't show the HTML. Its content was just empty, although I am very sure the html had been passed to setData().
I had tried several approaches to solve this problem, but none would work.
My approach
Create a TextArea using DOM.createTextArea()
Call myEditor=CKEDITOR.replace(textArea, config) to initialize the CKeditor
call myEditor.setData(html) to set the content.
It was good and showed the content at the first time.
But after the webpage got hidden and shown again, I called myEditor.setData(html2) to show another html, but this time the CKeditor showed nothing.
First solution (did not work)
I changed the code to call myEditor.destroy() before the webpage was hidden, and call CKEDITOR.replace(textArea, config) again when the webpage was visible again, after that I called myEditor.setData(newHtml).
This time it worked in IE and FF, but not in Chrome and Edge, it kept showing the content of the first load time, instead of showing the new HTML.
Second solution (did not work)
I changed it to call CKEDITOR.inline(textArea, config) instead of CKEDITOR.replace(textArea, config) when the webpage was visible again, while the destroy() and setData() was still called in the same order. This time the CKeditor again didn't show anything from the second time.
Last attempt
My last approach was to not calling destroy(), but creating a new TextArea each time before showing CKeditor, and called CKEDITOR.replace(textArea, config) and setData(html). This seems to work well, but occasionally the CKeditor still showed empty content.
Could anyone please help me to solve this problem?
I am using CKeditor 4.5.8.
Finally I figured out the solution:
Before hiding the ckeditor, call editor.destroy(true), and delete editor. (Before this, I only called editor.destroy() [note: no 'true'], which didn't work well).
Here is the code:
if (editor) {
editor.destroy(true);
delete editor;
}
Use this java script code that is very simple and effective.Note editor1 is my textarea id
<script>
$(function () {
CKEDITOR.timestamp= new Date();
CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
});
</script>
second way ! In controller ,when your query is fetch data from database then use this code after .success(function().
$http.get(url).success(function(){
CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
});

wysihtml5 - setting a value won't work, because 'sandbox iframe isn't loaded yet'

I'm just working on a little webservice. Therefore I am using an AJAX call and append my data to a table on my website. Here I can read and update already existing entries or write new entries. Everything works fine.
I want to have the possibility to update already existing with the wysihtml5 editor. I already integrated this editor on my website and I can use it on new entries. That works, too.
But now there's the problem with existing data. When it comes to the form to update data, I want the existing data being displayed as the value. Everything works fine on all inputs, just the wysihtml5 don't work.
I already know that there's an iframe and that's why I can't set the value of the textarea. I searched for a solution and found the following code (last line):
var editor = new wysihtml5.Editor("textareaid", { // id of textarea element
toolbar: "wysihtml5-toolbar", // id of toolbar element
parserRules: wysihtml5ParserRules, // defined in parser rules set
});
editor.setValue('Here's the content', true);
Usually this should work, but no content appears and the console just tells me:
Error: wysihtml5.Sandbox: Sandbox iframe isn't loaded yet
I tried it with a timeout-function but nothing works. Searching on the internet it also seems that there is noone else with that problem. I hope you can help me out, would be great!
Is there a way to set the value?
This code work for me
$("#product_details").data("wysihtml5").editor.getValue();// to get the value
$("#product_details").data("wysihtml5").editor.setValue('new content')// to set the value
I got the solutions, below code worked for me
$('#id ~ iframe').contents().find('.wysihtml5-editor').html(my_html);
This work for me
$('.wysihtml5-sandbox').contents().find('.wysihtml5-editor').html(my_html);
the ".wysihtml5-sandbox" is a class name of iframe, create by wysihtml5 by default.
I finally got it working by myself. I just change the second parameter of setValue to false. I don't know why, but it works then.
this code worked for me :
var wysihtml5Editor = $('#text_editor').data("wysihtml5").editor;
wysihtml5Editor.setValue("<p>foobar</p>", true);
console.log(wysihtml5Editor.getValue());

KendoDropdown placed in fancybox popup = Bad practice?

There is a problem when I put Kendo Dropdown List info Fancybox - Popup.
For detail:
I have page A :this page contains Kendo Dropdown list (with id = #myDropdown).
I have page B : I put my Fancybox caller here- I mean I use Fancybox to load page A (by ajax)
Everything look well , but I got a problem here:
You know, when I initialize a Dropdown List, Kendo-UI will create an "anchor" Tag for UI-effect purpose.
Ex:
DropdownList has id = #myDropdown
Kendo will create one more Tag with id = #myDropdown-list.
After closing the Fancybox-popup , The "#myDropdown" was removed from DOM, but "#myDropdown-list". It still on the DOM overtime, and it willing to be double after I call the popup again(ofcourse if dont refresh current page).
And The Kendo-DateTimePicker as the same too.
p/s: and so sorry about by english if it was too bad :D. I hope you get my question.
im going to put my "popup" in iframe.But I dont know if it is good when using iframe in this case...
Using IFrame or not is not the cause of the error. I tried with a container and without it to load the fancybox via ajax, but it didn't make a difference.
What I found is sort of a hack, however it solves the problem. Let's suppose we have a code which creates the popup and the popup's content is located in the href 'popupFrame':
$.fancybox({
'href': 'popupFrame',
'type': 'ajax',
beforeClose: removeKendoHelpers
});
The other part is the function which is called before closing the popup:
function removeKendoHelpers() {
$("#myDropdown-list").remove();
}
Of course you can create the removeKendoHelpers as an inline function and if there are more parts to remove then put that code into the removeKendoHelpers function as well.
One interesting remark: in the fancybox API onCleanup and onClosed are listed as options but they do not work, instead use beforeClose or afterClose.
UPDATE:
Actually a lot of problem is solved with calling the kendo widget's destroy() method. It solves the removing problems for the widgets except for one of the three helper divs of the DateTimePicker, so the close looks like the following:
function removeKendoHelpers() {
$("#myDropdown-list").data("kendoDropDownList").destroy();
$("#datetimepicker").data("kendoDateTimePicker").destroy();
}
And to resolve the date time picker's actual problem which is I think a bug in the kendop framework (I will report this and hopefully get some feedback) the last function only needs to be extended with:
$(".k-widget.k-calendar").remove();
OTHER solution:
This one is more crude but works like a charm for me even if the page has multiple kendo controls and even if you open another fancybox from your fancybox.
Wrap the fancybox creation in a function, like:
function openFancyBox() {
$("body").append("<div class='fancybox-marker'></div>");
$.fancybox({
'href': 'popupFrame',
'type': 'ajax',
beforeClose: removeKendoHelpers
});
}
This will create a new div at the very end of the body tag, and the function at the closing of the fancybox uses this:
function removeKendoHelpers() {
$(".fancybox-marker").last().nextAll().remove();
$(".fancybox-marker").last().remove();
}
I hope these solves all your problem!

how to access the id of div which is loaded through ajax

I have button with id = new which loads the new page
$("#new").click(function(){
$('#message_area').load('new.php');
});
There is a button in new.php which sends message to database. But i have a problem with it , it only works for first time when page loads if i navigate to some other links via ajax and again load new.php using above code then send button in new.php does not work i have to refresh the page then it works. I think its because the send button in new.php is added after DOM is created for first time .
Please help Thanks in advance ..
You will need to post more details of your markup for a more accurate answer, but the general idea is to use event delegation. Bind the event handler to an ancestor of the button that does not get removed from the DOM. For example:
$("#message_area").on("click", "#yourButton", function() {
//Do stuff
});
This works because DOM events bubble up the tree, through all of an elements ancestors. Here you are simply capturing the event higher up the tree and checking if it originated from something you are interested in (#yourButton).
See jQuery .on for more. Note that if you're using a version of jQuery below 1.7, you will need to use delegate instead.
//jquery >= v1.7
$("body").on('click', '#new', function(){
$('#message_area').load('new.php');
});
//jquery < v1.7
$("#new").live('click',function(){
$('#message_area').load('new.php');
});
$("#new").live("click", function(){
$('#message_area').load('new.php');
});
just realized this was deprecated-- should be using on instead.. my bad.
To manage dynamically created elements like this, you need to use .on() (jQuery 1.7 and above) or .delegate() (jQuery 1.4.3 and above) to assign the events. Seems everyone has beaten me to the code, but I'll post this for the links to the functions.

Loading forms with .load kills the submit button in Firefox

I am currently loading several forms into a webpage with:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#content').load('php_script.php', function() {
$(this).find('#someForm').ajaxForm(function() {
alert('Success!');
});
$(this).find('.someOtherForm').ajaxForm(function() {
alert('Success!');
});
});
});
This works in Chrome, Chromium and IE who loads the forms and everything works as it should (Clicking submit sends a request to the php-script defined in the form's action, which adds stuff to a db, and shows the alert dialog). In Firefox (v10.0.2) this code loads the forms into the DOM and displays them, but when clicking submit on any of the forms nothing happens.
At first I suspected ajaxForm, but changing the above code to:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#content').load('php_script.php');
});
yields almost the same result, the difference being that the user is sent to the script defined as the action (Except for Firefox, where nothing happens).
How do I make Firefox not kill the submit button?
I solved it, bad HTML from my side:
<table><form ...>
<tr>...</tr>
</form></table>
Instead it should look like:
<form ...><table>
<tr>...</tr>
</table></form>
The validator did not catch this since it was loaded via jQuery (and I forgot to validate the page serving the forms), and Firefox buggered out.
The code above looks ok to me...
Have you had a look in firebug if there are any errors? Maybe there is a conflicting Id or something.
Maybe the form isnt completely loaded into the dom yet, might be worth giving live binding a try
Found this in the docs:
...jQuery uses the browser's .innerHTML property to parse the retrieved document and insert it into the current document. During this process, browsers often filter elements from the document such as , , or elements. As a result, the elements retrieved by .load() may not be exactly the same as if the document were retrieved directly by the browser...
If you inspect the form is it the same as in other browsers?
