Re: [orion-dev] Using Orion Editor in a form

We really need to improve our documentation
for the stand alone editor. I opened [1] to track this.

The edit() function does not return
an internal object.

It returns an array of editors if you
provide a "className" in the options argument.   Every node
in the document with the specified className will be the parent of an editor
and the list of editors is returned.

Or it returns a single editor, if you
provide a "parent" in the options argument.  The parent
can be either a string id or the DOM node itself.  This example shows
how to use the parent option.

https://orion.eclipse.org/examples/editor/edit.html

Once you have the editor, you can call
 "editor.setText()" to set its contents.

It is possible to turn a textarea into
an editor as well. Here is a snippet that shows how:

Using Orion Editor in a form

Hi,

I'm trying to replace codemirror by Orion's Editor. Thereby, I'm
following http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/How_Tos/Editor_Build
and I
also found http://mirrors.xmission.com/eclipse/orion/jsdoc/symbols/orion.editor.Editor.html.

It is not clear to me, how I can get the text content of the editor.
Could you give me a hint how I can get a reference to the editor
object? The return value of "edit()" seems to return internal
objects
only.

Is it possible to pass "id" instead of "className"
to edit to generate
the editor only on a specified pre field?

It seems to be impossible to turn a textarea into an editor. This
makes it difficult to use the editor in a form. Therefore, I've asked
how to get the (formatted) content of the editor. $(".XMLtextarea
.textviewContent").text() seems to be a first shot, but it misses
the
line breaks. Then, I can fill up my request data by hand.

BTW: In the howto, I suppose "2.0" can be replaced by "4.0"?
:)

Cheers,

Oliver
