Problem with colorbox and ckeditor

[eluser]blorriman[/eluser]
I'm having a problem using a form (with CKEditor) inside a Colorbox. Everything works great the first time I open it, but if I close Colorbox and open it again the textarea is not there.

I am getting this error in FF console from line 209 of jquery.colorbox.js

Code:

$.data(this, colorbox) is null
var relRelated = $.data(this, colorbox).rel || this.rel;

Here is the controller:

Code:

function modal() {
        $this->load->library('lorros');
        $form1 = $this->input->post('fullname');
        $form2 = $this->input->post('email');
        $comments = $this->input->post('comments');
        $subject = 'this is a test subject';

        if ($form1 != NULL) {
//            add to database
            $data = array(
                'form1' => $form1,
                'form2' => $form2,
                'subject' => $subject,
                'comments' => $comments,
            );
            $this->test_model->insert($data);
            $this->test_model->add_cron_job($data);
        }
        $data['test_1'] = $this->test_model->test_modal();
        $this->template->write_view('maincontent', 'test/colorbox', $data);
        $this->template->write('title', 'testing colorbox');
        $this->template->render();
    }

    function modal_form() {
        $this->load->view('test/modal-form');
    }

This is the view:

Code:

[removed][removed]
[removed][removed]
[removed][removed]
[removed][removed]
[removed]
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $.ajaxSetup ({
            cache: false
        });
        $("a[rel='test']").colorbox();
    });
[removed]

<div id="content">
    <div class="maincontent">
        <div id="content-left">
            <p>Test Modal Form</p>
            <span class="icon16 clipboard_16">&nbsp;</span>
            <a href="/test/modal_form" rel="test" title="if you don't see the comments textarea, refresh the page" class="">
                open form
            </a>
            <hr>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

And this is the form:

Code:

[removed]
    $(function(){
        $.ajaxSetup ({
            cache: false
        });
        $("#testForm").validate();
        CKEDITOR.replace( 'comments',
        {
            toolbar : 'MyToolbar',
            uiColor : '#d0d0d0'
        });
        $("#submit").click(function() {
            CKEDITOR.instances.comments.updateElement();
        })
    });

    'value' => 'test form',
    'class' => 'buttonForm',
//    'onclick' => 'return loadSubmit()',
);
?>

<div class="form-area-modal" id="test-form">
    <h4><span class="icon24 clipboard_24">&nbsp;</span>Test Modal Form</h4>
    &lt;?php echo form_open('/test/modal', $attributes); ?&gt;
    &lt;?php
    echo form_label('Name <span class="redtext">*</span>', 'test_1', $label, $test_1);
    echo form_input($test_1);
    ?&gt;
    <div class="clear"></div>
    &lt;?php
    echo form_label('Email <span class="redtext">*</span>', 'test_2', $label, $test_2);
    echo form_input($test_2);
    ?&gt;
    <div class="clear"></div>
    &lt;?php
    echo form_label('Comments <span class="redtext">*</span>', 'test_2', $label, $comments);
    echo form_textarea($comments);
    ?&gt;

        <div class="clear"></div>

    <div class="clear v-space-10"></div>

    <p align="center">&lt;?= form_submit($submit); ?&gt;</p>
    &lt;?php echo form_close(); ?&gt;
</div>

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
