Description

The Etherpad jQuery Plugin Example plugin easily allows you to add and access a pad from Etherpad in a web page. The plugin injects the pad contents into a div using iframes. It can also read the contents of a Pad and write it to a div.

Usage

Include jQuery.js, include etherpad.js, assign a pad to a div. If you get confused look at the examples in index.html

Example #1: Sets the pad id and puts the pad in the div

$('#examplePadBasic').pad({'padId':'test'});

Example #2: Sets the pad id, some more parameters and puts the pad in the div

$('#examplePadBasic').pad({'padId':'test','showChat':'true'});

Example #3: Gets the padContents from Example #2 and writes it to the target div "exampleGetContents"

$('#examplePadBasic').pad({'getContents':'exampleGetContents'});
