Can codemirror be used on multiple textareas?

Question

Can codemirror be used on more than one textarea? I use many textareas that are generated dynamically.

Answer 1

You can actually make multiple calls to CodeMirror.fromTextArea to 'Codemirror-ify' multiple textareas.

If you want multiple textareas with the same options, wrap the Codemirror.fromTextArea call in a function, like:

function editor(id)
{
    CodeMirror.fromTextArea(id, {
        height: "350px",
        parserfile: "parsexml.js",
        stylesheet: "css/xmlcolors.css",
        path: "js/",
        continuousScanning: 500,
        lineNumbers: true
    });
}

You can then apply it to your textareas like:

editor('code1');
editor('code2');
