I'm doing something similar there. Did you try to reorder thhe way you do things? I se you remove the actual textarea before you remove the editor, not sure if that's what's causing the problems.

After some debuging, I've found that tinyMCE does know about the content it's supposed to be displaying & it does load it into the tinyMCE object, but it just never injects it into the iframe.  I'm still trying to figure out where that goes south.  I'm guessing/hoping/praying if I can figure that out, the rest will just work.

I've changed to using tiny_mce_src.js in an attempt to figure out what's going on.  Right now, when I call tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent() it throws this exception:

uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIDOMHTMLDocument.implementation]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: http://myserver.com/_include/path/to//tiny_mce_src.js :: anonymous :: line 5366" data: no]

Line 5366 in my source file (which may be slightly different than the package because I've been throwing console.debug() everywhere) is:

impl = n.ownerDocument.implementation;

in the Serializer.serialize() function.  When I rewrite that part so this particular line isn't called, I don't get an exception.

Obviously this is a symptom of the problem, not the cause.  I'm hoping someone with more experience with the internals of tinyMCE & Javascript can use this to help point to the problem.

If you clobber TinyMCE instances errors like this might happen. Use the proper API by removing the editors.

but why? i testing new installations of firefox and will post it here in a minute... lets try to fix it

// edit
the problem does not exist in every firefox. i have two computers, in one ff the error comes up, in the other not :-/ very strange....

i have no remove-method or something like that. in all cases the use of tinymce is okay. even in an other firefox with the same addons. i don't know if the addon-settings are the same but this is very strange. i don't think that there might be an api problem because then there has to always the same error, perhaps even in opera/safari/chrome/ie.

// edit
it's very interessting... when this error occurs than i can't even execute some other javascript-functions. but some are working.

for your information: i have written my own dialog with an overlay. in this dialog html gets loaded via ajax. in some cases the tinymce replaces a textarea in this html, but not in every case. i have also some other functionalities on my page, like delete or move up/down. when i open a update-dialog (with tinymce), close it again and open it once again, the tinymce is loaded but i can't entry any data and in the firefox console (addon firebug) there occurs the error described in the first post. then i close the dialog. i have one more dialog but this one has nothing to do with tinymce. there are only input field. when the error occurs i have not the possibilty to open the dialog again. i don't know why. my code is correct and does not load the tinymce again :-/ but other methods like (ajax-)delete or move are okay.

// edit(2)
i have included the remove-command but nothing happend. the error is there!

if ((tinyMCE != undefined) && (tinyMCE.activeEditor != undefined))
{
    alert('remove-tiny-mce');
    tinyMCE.activeEditor.remove();
}

// edit(3)
i have to correct me! this was th error! i have not called this remove-method at every position. now after some extended tests i cannot reproduce this strange error. thanks a lot! now i can go to bed

Here's my init code:

tinyMCE.init({
        button_tile_map:true,
        content_css: SITE_SUBDIR+'/_include/templates/slmpc/editor.css',
        convert_urls: false,
        document_base_url: 'http://www.mydomain.ca/',
        file_browser_callback:function(field_name,url,type,win){
            tinyMCE.activeEditor.windowManager.open({
                file: '/'+SITE_SUBDIR+'_admin/fileManager/index.php?type='+type,
                title:"File/Image browser",
                width:600,
                height:400,
                resizable: "yes",
                close_previous: "no"
            },
            {
                window: win,
                input: field_name
            });
        },
        height:400,
        mode:"textareas",
        plugins:"fullscreen,table,searchreplace,paste,advimage",
        relative_urls: false,
        setup:function(ed){
            ed.onInit.add(function(ed){
                $vik("#vik-editor-loading").slideUp().hide();
                $vik("#vik-content-wrapper").slideDown('normal');
            });
        },
        theme:'advanced',
        theme_advanced_toolbar_location: "top",
        theme_advanced_toolbar_align: "left",
        theme_advanced_blockformats:"p,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6",
        theme_advanced_buttons1 : "undo,redo,|,cut,copy,paste,pastetext,searchreplace,|,code,cleanup,fullscreen,visualaid",
        theme_advanced_buttons2 : "bold,italic,strikethrough,sub,sup,|,forecolor,backcolor,charmap,formatselect,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,blockquote,outdent,indent",
        theme_advanced_buttons3 : "bullist,numlist,|,hr,|,link,unlink,anchor,|,image,|,tablecontrols"
    });

I currently have no removal code, and it works just fine in Safari, still craps out in Firefox.

Setup a simple test page and I will have a look at it. And by simple I mean the absolute basics for this issue to be reproduced.

Where exactly do i find a solution? I included the remove-commands but there is still the error. I cannot say when and why it occurs... Even in the current version it's included. I'm going crazy... *grml*

The problem is like i describes some time ago. i'm loading a textarea (-> becomes tinyMCE) via ajax und show it to the user when the tinyMCE has made the editor out of the textarea. the user can save it or close it. after a reload this error occurs:

i don't know why and when. sometimes there the error does not occur, sometimes it does.

@spocke: perhaps you have time to chat an icq about this problem? then i can show you a live-demo. Write a PN.

Yes, please make a small test case for this and we will look into it. File a bug report on SF and attach the HTML file illustrating the problem and we will be very grateful.

I have three TinyMCE editors in my application and I have to switch between state with one editor and state with two editors.

I have fixed the problem this way:

1. when I remove a tinyMCE editor from page I call onDetach() function:
  onDetach(){
      tinyMCE.execCommand('mceRemoveControl', false, id);
      tinyMCEkilled = true;
}

2. a special boolean value (tinyMCEkilled) makes sure that nobody would call
tinyMCE.activeEditor.getContent() or tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent(content) functions.

Hope this would help somebody.

Any chance this issue will get attention soon...!?

Still nothing in the bug report.
