setData() method sometimes not displaying the data in the CkEditor

[sateeshj]

Hi,

We are using ajax calls to get data from database( rest service) and showing in the CkEditor on the page. When the setData() method is being used, sometimes it happens that the data is not displayed in the CKEditor.

For example code we are using:

CKEDITOR.instances.applicationText.setData(pvdRichTextItems[i].CategoryText);

CKEDITOR.instances.applicationText.updateElement();

Did any one have seen this issue.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm sorry but this is a place for reporting CKEditor bugs and not place for seeking advice or support.

If you have CKEditor license, please contact our support team. You also can ask your implementation questions at ​Stack Overflow.

NOTE: I would strongly recommend setting data once editor is fully loaded e.g.

var editor = CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', {});
editor.on( "instanceReady", function( event ){
    editor.setData('your data');
});
