No events after setData

[Matthias]

After you set the editor data via editor.setData(html) no more (key) events are fired on the body.

Example Code:

editor.document.getBody().on("keyup", function() {

alert("keyup event");

}); editor.setData("...");

After that, the keyup event will never be fired again. Maybe the editor creates a complete new body when calling setData (which implicitly removes the listeners)?

Yes, a new document is created when setData is used and you must re-attach any listeners that you applied to the document or its contents.

But when do i re-attach the events? Is there an event fired after the setData is complete?

In particular, you attach on listeners the contentDom event, but you must also detach the listeners on contentDomUnload so that the new listeners work each time.
