CKEditor won't display my textarea value attribute-CodePudding

I'm retrieving text from a database that is supposed to serve as the value for my CKEditor field.

Here's my code:

<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/34.2.0/classic/ckeditor.js"></script>
<textarea id="editor" rows="6" name="post-body" value="<?php echo html_entity_decode($post['content']) ?>"></textarea>  
<script>
    ClassicEditor
        .create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ) )
        .catch( error => {
            console.error( error );
        } );
</script>

However, when the page is rendered, the CKEditor field is blank; the contents of my value attribute isn't displayed.

What can be causing this? How can I fix it?

CodePudding user response：

Textarea doesn't have the attribute value.

The content goes between <textarea> and </textarea> or when you want to display a placeholder you have to use the attribute placeholder.

So either

<textarea id="editor" rows="6" name="post-body"><?php echo html_entity_decode($post['content']) ?></textarea>

<textarea id="editor" rows="6" name="post-body" placeholder="<?php echo html_entity_decode($post['content']) ?>"></textarea>
