Manually trigger CKEditor textarea

Drupal 7 using the ckeditor module. In case you have a textarea which is loaded through ajax for example, and ckeditor is not triggered, you can turn it on programatically: Drupal.settings.ckeditor.elements[textarea_id] = 'filtered_html'; Drupal.ckeditorOn(textarea_id); Note: there should be a better way to set the setting with the input filter, but I haven't figured out that yet, comments are welcome.
