Ok, I'm still having issues following this.
Your suggestion is to run the function when the page loads (ajaxonload).
But, the problem occurs long after the page loads (I can wait 5 minutes
after the page is done loading to try it, and I still get the issue). And,
putting in an onload handler (either with CF's ajaxonload or using jQuery to
append the handler) has it run when the page has loaded -- before I've
clicked the "edit" button that does the ajax request to get the form's
values.
Maybe I'm not explaining it well enough.
The dialog that contains the form is part of the initial page load (i.e.,
it's a hidden div that, upon the document being loaded, is converted into a
jquery dialog. Why would that affect when the ckeditor instance is ready or
not? Even if I wait until the dialog is displayed before populating the
fields, it throws the error, so it's not just because the dialog is hidden
when I try to populate the field.
Alternatively, maybe I don't understand what causes the ckeditor to be
"ready".
