TinyMCE not working when loading two textareas

Question

I have two textareas that I load when the page loads, these two textareas are in the same table row. My tinyMCE looks like this

            tinyMCE.init({
           


        

Answer 1

Give them different ids. Tinymce editor id is equal to the textareas id; if no textarea id is present "content" is used as default. In your case for both textareas. Because there is already a tinymce editor with id "content" when the second textarea is being converted into a tinymce editor instance - it fails.

Answer 2

This has now been fixed by upgrading to the current version of tinyMCE (3.5b2) - as per:

In my code, it was not fixed by giving different ids to the multiple text areas (Thariama's suggestion above).
