val() Since: 1.3.5

Gets the current value of the editor.

This will return the filtered HTML from the WYSIWYG editor or the unfiltered contents of the source editor.

If using a format like the BBCode format, this will return the filtered HTML i.e. BBCode in the case of the BBCode format.

Return

Type: String

The filtered value of the editor

val(value) Since: 1.3.5

Sets the value of the editor.

If the filter parameter is not set to false the value will be run through the current editor format. This means that if using a format like BBCode, the value passed to this method should be BBCode and not HTML.

Syntax

instance.val(value[, filter]);

Parameters

value
Type: String

String to set as the editors value

filter
Type: Boolean
Default: true

If to filter the value through any plugins.

Example

Setting the value:

sceditor.instance(textarea)
	.val('Hello World!');

If using the BBCode plugin, BBCode should be passed instead of HTML:

sceditor.instance(textarea)
	.val('Hello [b]World![/b]');

If filter is set to false, HTML can be passed even when using the BBCode plugin:

sceditor.instance(textarea)
	.val('Hello World!', false);
