Jwysiwyg Using current textarea value as source content

Question

I am using jwysiwyg for several text areas on one page. However, my text box has initial pre-populated values ​​that I need to use. Instead, jwysiwyg uses the default "Original Content".

my code is:

$(document).ready(function(){ $('textarea').wysiwyg({ autoGrow:true, initialContent: this.value, controls:"bold,italic,underline,|,undo,redo" }); }); 

Evaluate that I could call each text field individually an identifier, but for him it looks like lines of code. Think that my problem boils down to how I refer to "this.value", but can't figure it out.

I can solve this by changing the following in jswysywig.js 'initialContent = original.val ();' change to 'options.initialContent = original.val ();'

Answer 2

In my case, I made a stupid mistake. value="whatever" not a textarea attribute. The only reason I post this is, I assume that other people made the same mistake due to the number of results on Google for this problem. It may have been a real bug in jWysiwyg at some point, but it works for me (without any changes) should work with v0.97

<textarea id="wysiwyg" rows="10" cols="80" wrap="physical" name="whatever">This is your initial content.</textarea>
