Multiple simultaneous editors on page #9

Closed ericmjonas closed 12 years ago

ericmjonas commented 12 years ago

I'd love to have multiple simultaneous editors on the page, but when I try and instantiate Proper multiple times, there's only a single toolbar created. Are there any known work-arounds?

After careful thinking we decided that it's overkill to have more than one instance simultaneously. Just reinit the Proper instance when you click on another content-area. You can specify where the controls should be injected using the controlsTarget option.

I've pasted the code I'm using here: https://gist.github.com/1230652

What seems to happen is the most recently-activated instance gets the toolbar, and per the deactivate() method in the source, the other one goes away. Can I confirm this is intended behavior? Or am I doing something wrong. And thank you so much for making such a great editor!

The Proper constructor function can (should?) be rewritten so the functions only need to be defined once on the prototype - will cut down on the overhead of instantiating an editor.
