How to hide and show a CKEditor using jQuery?

Question

The following code should allow to hide/show the CKEditor form

<a onClick="$('#form1').hide();">Hide</a>
<a onClick="$('#form1').show();">Show</a>
<form action="sample_posteddata.php" method="post" id="form1">
    <textarea id="editor1" name="editor1">blabla</textarea>
    <script type="text/javascript"> CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' ); </script>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

However, this code works fine on Chrome but on Firefox, once I have toggled once the editor (one 'hide' click followed by one 'show' click) , it becomes not editable !!

How can I make it work on every browser?

Thank you.

Looks like this might help you out:

In the report I linked to they show trying something like this:

if (frames[0]) {
  frames[0].FCK.EditingArea.MakeEditable();
}

Answer 2

Try wrapped it in a div eg : <div id="fckz"> <form >...</form> </div> and make the hide show on the div .

Answer 3

It doesn't seem to have a real workaround.

See here for more info. The only solution is to wait for CKEditor new version 3.4.
