I am using gem ''ckeditor'', ''3.5.0'', Rails 3.. It works fine in my ''New'' and ''Edit'' pages but not ''Show'' page ''New'' and ''Edit'' pages using the following... <%= form_for @question, <%= f.cktext_area :correct_anno, :toolbar=>''Full'', :width=>''1140px'', :height=>''250px'' %> and all is good. Show action uses a virtual attribute ''formatted_question'' which contains a hash. Not using a form helper. I am trying to populate the ckeditor field with the text from a field in the hash (:correct_anno) and can''t figure out how to format it. This is the format I need to conform to: <%= ckeditor_textarea("object", "field", :width => ''100%'', :height => ''200px'') %> Have tried several variations including: <%= ckeditor_textarea("Formatted_question", "@formatted_question[:correct_anno]", ... Not sure how to specify @formatted_question[:correct_anno] to ckeditor "field" Any help from a more experienced programmer would be really appreciated.
