How to set Jhtmlarea editor to blank or empty

Question

I've a textarea and have implemented jHtmlArea Editor jquery plugin. And when click on reset button. I need to set it to empty or blank.

HTML is as below

  <textarea cols="170" id="area4" rows="20"></textarea>

I tried, But it didn't work.

  $('#area4').htmlarea('html', '');

Any other suggestion please.

Answer 1

I just made it with the help of this code. just used an extra white space ;) and worked smooth for me

  $('#area4').htmlarea("html", "  ");

Answer 2

yep i just got this to work:

$('#textarea-content').htmlarea('html',' ');

but this doesn't work

$('#textarea-content').htmlarea('html','');

ok these seems to be best

$('#textarea-content').htmlarea('html','\n');

or

$('#textarea-content').htmlarea('html','\b');

they leave no space at the start
