How to "close" the editor?

I’m using this nice tool to make a classic <div> editable for a moment, then I want to make it switch back to its normal form. Is there a function for this? I tried with disable() but it just makes the editor… uneditable.

I’ve run into this problem when showing the editor in a modal and needing to destroy/rebuild on show/hide. I’m using an iframe/textarea, and these are the steps I’ve had to take:

• remove the iframe
• replace the toolbar to unbind events (using something like jQuery.clone and jQuery.replaceWith works well to rebuild the toolbar without stale bound events).
• replace the textarea to unbind events (same clone trick, though you have to manually copy the textarea’s value also)

A convenient destroy() or unbind() would be really nice to save that hassle.

I think this issue is still not completely resolved… even with editor.destroy() and editor = null, my toolbar keeps the old events…

EDIT: Got it to work with @yourcelf 's clone and replaceWith suggestion. (Still destroy not doing its job 100% for me…)
