Trumbowyg plugin fails to display button panel on the interface

I've implemented a JavaScript plugin called Trumbowyg to create an HTML Editor (WYSIWYG). Despite no errors occurring during the instantiation and creation of elements with this plugin, I am facing an issue where the panel displaying buttons/options fails to show up.

Here is my code snippet:

        var editorHtmlElement = document.createElement('textarea');
        editorHtmlElement.className = "col-md-6";           
        editorHtmlElement.setAttribute('placeholder', 'placeholder...');
        var OptionsTrumbowyg = {};

        OptionsTrumbowyg.btns = [
            ['undo', 'redo'],
            ['justifyLeft', 'justifyCenter', 'justifyRight', 'justifyFull'],
            ['formatting'],
            ['strong', 'em', 'del'],
            ['link'],
            ['insertImage'],
            ['unorderedList', 'orderedList'],
            ['horizontalRule'],
            ['removeformat'],
        ];
        OptionsTrumbowyg.autogrow = true;  

        var editorHtmljQuery = $(editorHtmlElement);

        editorHtmljQuery.trumbowyg(OptionsTrumbowyg);

Following that, I append the editorHtmlElement to a div or any other container.

WHAT I'M GETTING

Even when using default options without any customization, the panel with buttons does not appear as expected. Any insights on what might be causing this issue?
(No errors are being reported)

Answer №1

After several attempts, I was able to get it to function properly by inserting Trumbowyg after all CSS appends and includes, as well as changing the

var editorHtmlElement = document.createElement('textarea');

to
var editorHtmlElement = document.createElement('div');

I simply rearranged the placement of

editorHtmljQuery.trumbowyg(OptionsTrumbowyg);

towards the end of all scripts during page load, which resolved the issue.
