TinyMCE Not initilizing on jqueryui modal dialog

After much trial and error I found the issue was because the dialog had a show and hide effect! removing these made the system work, so a work around for this was to show a loading screen while tinymce was initilizing.

Code test.html :

Untitled Document

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    $('.newbutton').button({icons: {primary: "ui-icon-plusthick"}}).click(function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        $('body').css({'overflow' : 'hidden'});
        $('#newform').dialog({
            show: "puff",  
            hide: "puff", 
            resizable: false, 
            height: 500, 
            width: 800, 
            modal: true, 
            beforeClose: function(){
                if ($("textarea.tinymce").length) {
                    $('textarea.tinymce').tinymce().remove();
                };
                $(this).html(" ");
            }, 
            close: function(){
                $('body').css({'overflow' : 'auto'});   
                $(this).html(" ");
                $('#newform').dialog('destroy');
            }, 
            open: function(){
                $('#newform').load("test2.html", function(){
                    $(this).css({"overflow": "hidden"});
                    $('.tinymceloader').css({"position": "absolute", "height": $(this).height()-16, "width": $(this).width() - 32, "z-index": 200, "background-color": "#ffffff"});
                    setTimeout("inittinymce(); $(this).css({\"overflow\": \"auto\"});", 500);
                });
            }
        });     

    });

});
function inittinymce(){
    $('textarea.tinymce').tinymce({
                        // Location of TinyMCE script

TinyMCE doesn't work within jquery ui modal dialog, why?

I had this problem.

For starters, I strongly recommend you instantiate tinymce after the modal dialog is on screen. I found that tinyMCE would try to take up the "most effective" amount of space on screen so is in effect invisible and/or the whole screen depending on how the modal box is set up.

There is something else though, you might notice that after closing the dialog box, your ability to interact with the page is disabled within the area tinyMCE was present! It is possible that your page is already experiencing this behaviour.

What fixed the problem for me (although not so elegant but, after pulling out my hair) I chose to destroy the dialog box and be sure to hide tinymce after the form had recieved a pass response from the server.

There are two commands to use for this

Nuke the dialog box from orbit
```
$('#modal-dialog').dialog('destroy');
```

Check for presence of tinymce and hide it if found

if ($(".textarea").length) {
    $('.textarea').tinymce().hide();
};

TinyMCE menus not working inside bootstrap modal

Add the folowing css

.tox-tinymce-aux {
    z-index: 999999!important;
}

tinyMCE in an angularjs modal dialog only works on the first popup

From docs: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-tinymce
Be sure not to set an id attribute.)

So just remove id:

    <textarea ui-tinymce="" ng-model="tinymceModel">{{SectionTemplate.Preface}}</textarea>
