Question

Answer 1

e represent the markdown edit only inside the onSave function.

So you have to get the markdown instance, I checked the plugin and it's possible (hacky but possible :-)

If you want to access it inside your post click function you have to access it in this way:

• get the markdown element
• get the markdown instance via data('markdown')
• use the parseContent function

Code:

$(".btn-post").click(function (e) {
    post = $('.status-box').data('markdown').parseContent();
    console.log(post)
});

Change path of these js file

<script src="js/markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/to-markdown.js"></script>

To

<script src="js/vendor/markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/to-markdown.js"></script>

Hope this will help you...

Have you download bootstrap - markdown.js file into your work environment. Check The link of bootstrap - markdown.js file. The lib of markdown.js may be missing in your code.

UPDATE

HI @Norfeldt,

For This you have to follow Below Instructions.

1. Check Compatibility versions between bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap.min.js.(i.e you must maintain same versions for both the things.) Because http://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/courses/ltp2/css/bootstrap.min.css Link contains Bootstrap version 3.0 css and http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/js/bootstrap.min.js Link contains Bootstrap 2.3.2 version JS.

2.Maintain Correct root Directory path.

<script src="js/markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/to-markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap-markdown.js"></script> 

must be

<script src="js/vendor/markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/to-markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/bootstrap-markdown.js"></script>

3. Which version of bootstrap-markdown.js lib you are using.

Check this one

Version                       Compatibility with Bootstrap
Bootstrap Markdown v2.x      only compatible with Bootstrap 3.x
Bootstrap Markdown v1.x      only compatible with Bootstrap 2.x

Note: Download bootstrap files from Here add add to your html file.
