I am trying to add markdown editor with my application. i tried with simplemd-editor found from https://github.com/NextStepWebs/simplemde-markdown-editor ; It is working fine whereas it changes the cursor pointer of my texarea as shown in the picture below enter image description here.

And when typing, text coming with some background color as shown in below picture; enter image description here

Question: My textarea cursor should not be changed (it should appear with basic style) and background color should not appear when typing. Please help how to achieve this using jquery?

  • Hm, that thing with cursor is it happens in all web browsers? About background color, maybe you override default css? Would be great if you provide an example of your error in jsfiddle

Reset to default

The background color is occurring because of the integrated spell check. You need to initialize your SimpleMDE with spell check disabled, like this:

var simplemde = new SimpleMDE({ spellChecker: false });

For future references, I fixed this problem by adding

In my html file
