jqueryTe adding text

Question

im using the Jquery text editor plugin called JqueryTE

for the moment im adding some functions to it but im stuck on one right now. Im trying to add a bit of text into the source of the textarea but it does not work.

It works with a normal textarea so its no problem there, but just this one that using jqueryTE are not working, im trying to look around in the code to find anyway to add some source into it but it does not work.

So in short, how could i add text to the textarea in a working way?

Edited the post, but the question is that how could i add text to the textarea ? Because it does not work with normal javascript .value = "xxx" to add any value to it. — Eric Christensen

You want to add some text into you text editor dynamically? After it has been rendered? — Sandeeproop

Yea exacly, i wanna build a function where you click the youtube icon in the menu bar (already added the icon),then a input box to appear where you paste the youtube link (already done) then add the full html to the textarea "<iframe and so on", thats where im trapped right now. — Eric Christensen

The actual texteditor window is a div with the class "jqte_editor".Something like this might help u mate.

$("#someTextArea").parent().parent().find(".jqte_editor").html("Sample text..")

Fiddle here

FYI

parent()

find()
