nicEditor and onchange event using JQuery

Question

I have used More than 5 nicEditors in my application.Below is my code

$(document).ready(function() {
    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function() {
        nicEditors.editors.push(
            new nicEditor().panelInstance(
                document.getElementById('single_answer_description')
            )
        );
    });
    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function() {
        nicEditors.editors.push(
            new nicEditor().panelInstance(
                document.getElementById('multiple_answer_description')
            )
        );
    });
    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function() {
        nicEditors.editors.push(
            new nicEditor().panelInstance(
                document.getElementById('drag_words_paragraph')

            )
        );
    });
    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function(){
        var myInstance = new nicEditor().panelInstance('drag_words_paragraph');
        myInstance.addEvent('blur', function() {
            alert("m");
        });
    });
    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function() {
        nicEditors.editors.push(
            new nicEditor().panelInstance(
                document.getElementById('drop_words_paragraph')
            )
        );
    });

});

In that I want to add onchange event with drag_words_paragraph textarea.onchange of text it will add in one div..I tried like this

bkLib.onDomLoaded(function(){
    var myInstance = new nicEditor().panelInstance('drag_words_paragraph');
    myInstance.addEvent('blur', function() {
    // Your code here that is called whenever the user blurs (stops editing) the nicedit instance
    });
});

But I can't get exact result instead im getting error removeInstance() is not a function.Please anyone help me.I am struggling for this errorlongtime.Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Try this:

document.querySelector('.nicEdit-main').addEventListener("input", function(e) {
   console.log(e.target.innerHTML)
}, false);

In your code you are declare new PaneInstance for same ID more than once.

try changing your code as below

//declare a global variable to store the editor text
var drag_words_paragraph;

$(document).ready(function() {
    // assign the text to variable
    window.drag_words_paragraph = $('#drag_words_paragraph').text();    

    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function() {
        nicEditors.editors.push(
            new nicEditor().panelInstance(
                document.getElementById('single_answer_description')
            )
        );
    });
    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function() {
        nicEditors.editors.push(
            new nicEditor().panelInstance(
                document.getElementById('multiple_answer_description')
            )
        );
    });
    bkLib.onDomLoaded(function() {
        nicEditors.editors.push(
            var myInstance = new nicEditor().panelInstance('drag_words_paragraph');
             myInstance.addEvent('blur', function() {
                  debugger;
                  var text = this.instanceById('drag_words_paragraph').getContent();
                  if (window.drag_words_paragraph == text) {
                    //Text has not been changed
                    return false;
                  } else {
                    //Text has been changed
                    //You can call your functions here.
                    alert('text changed');

                    window.drag_words_paragraph = text;
                  }
                });
            )
        );
    });

Your code seems to be working.

As commented by Richard Welsh in this http://wiki.nicedit.com/w/page/518/Editor%20Events

Check the snippet below based on his workaround.

$(function() {
  $('#drag_words_paragraph_text').text($('#drag_words_paragraph').text());

  var myInstance = new nicEditor({
    iconsPath: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/nicedit/0.9r24/nicEditorIcons.gif'
  }).panelInstance('drag_words_paragraph');
  myInstance.addEvent('blur', function() {
    debugger;
    var hiddenElem = $('#drag_words_paragraph_text');
    var text = this.instanceById('drag_words_paragraph').getContent();
    if ($(hiddenElem).text() == text ) {
      return false;
    } else {
      alert('text changed');
      $(hiddenElem).text(text);
    }
  });

});

function changeText(){
  var newText = $('#change_text').val();
  nicEditors.findEditor('drag_words_paragraph').setContent(newText);
}
