How to determine if CKEditor is loaded?

Question

Hi,

How do I find out if CKEditor is loaded? I've looked through the API docs, but could only find the loaded event. I want to check if CKEditor is loaded, because if I load it a second time, my textareas disapear.

Thanks!

I've looked through the API docs, but could only find the loaded event.

I don't know whether there exists a specific property for this - there might! - but you could use the loaded event to set a global flag. It's not really nice but would do the job.

// At the top of the script
CKEDitor_loaded = false:

// then later
CKEDITOR.on( 'loaded',function(){ CKEditor_loaded = true; });

Instead of a global variable, you could also consider setting something inside CKEDITOR:

CKEDITOR.flag_loaded = true;

that would be a bit cleaner.
