How to get the content of a Tinymce textarea with JavaScript

Question

i have an array of content then how we get content of Tinymce textarea in javascript

Answer 1

lets say your mce textarea instance is:

<textarea id="editor1" ....></textarea>

then you get the content as follows:

var content =  tinyMCE.getContent('editor1');

if you mean you have multiple instances of mce editor on one page and you want to get content then try this approach:

var inst, contents = new Object();
for (inst in tinyMCE.editors) {
    if (tinyMCE.editors[inst].getContent)
        contents[inst] = tinyMCE.editors[inst].getContent();
}

the above code adds each editor content into an array

Answer 2

If you are more familiar with (and are using the jquery wrapper), you can also do this using this:

$('#editor1').tinymce().getContent();

Where (editor1) is your selector.

Answer 3

This work for me for version 4 (9.8):

var Content = tinyMCE.editors['Your_ID'].getContent();

Answer 4

tinymce.get('editorId').setContent(response.data);

Answer 5

I had the same problem. I have solved using this code:

tinyMCE.get('editor1').getContent();

Answer 6

In my case (v4.3.12), none of the above worked, so I did a workaround:

Html code:

<div id="wrapper">
    <textarea id="editable_container" name="editable_container"></textarea>
</div>

JQuery code:

var iframe = $('#editable_container_ifr');
var editorContent = $('#tinymce[data-id="editable_container"]', iframe.contents()).html();
console.log(editorContent);

Where editable_container is my tinyMCE editor's placeholder textarea, the editable area's iframe id is generated from adding a _ifr postfix to the placeholder's id, and the content-editable container (which contains the formatted text), has an id tinymce with a data-id attribute of the placeholder's id.
