yeah, since cf9 uses newer version of ckeditor, some things have changed...
i have seen some rather weird stuff in my tests now with cf9.
i guess it has something to do with the textarea being initially hidden,
and then displayed when the dialog is displayed. this must be causing
some event chain to fire, which happens to make the ckeditor instance
associated with the textarea temporarily unavailable. i _think_ that
maybe the textarea instance is re-drawn (or maybe even drawn for the
first time) only after the dialog is visible (you may have noticed that
fckstyles.xml file is requested only after the dialog is shown), and
that causes the instance to not be defined for a moment.
in any case - if you are still interested - firing the setValue() with a
delay of 1000 ms after the dialog is opened seems to solve the problem
in cf9:
var ta = ColdFusion.RichText.getEditorObject('socialEventDescription');
if (ta) {
ColdFusion.RichText.setValue(ta.Name, str);
} else {
setTimeout(function(){ColdFusion.RichText.setValue(ColdFusion.RichText.getEditorObject('socialEventDescription').Name,
responseData.socialEventDescription);}, 1000);
}
