How to change this javascript function to Jquery

Question

I have this code to work as character limiter for CKEditor, but its old and i dont know why does not work when i use Jquery librarie in the same web site

window.onload = function() {
        CKEDITOR.instances.aqui.on( 'key', function() {
            var str = CKEDITOR.instances.aqui.getData();
            var regex = /(<([^>]+)>)/ig
            ,   result = str.replace(regex, "");
            if (result.length > 50) {
                CKEDITOR.instances.aqui.setData(str);
            }
        } );
    };

i want to update the code to use Jquery, but i dont know to much of jquery and i think if i use this function (replace, remove or text that) it will be more usefull

The code works if you dont add the Jquery library.

There's nothing in that code that should be affected by adding jQuery to the page; something *else* is going on in something you haven't shown. — T.J. Crowder, Mar 04 '15 at 15:54
If pure javascript is broken, chances are that transforming it into jQuery won't magically make it work. I guess you have some debugging in prospect. — Jeremy Thille, Mar 04 '15 at 15:55
Are you saying this code DOESNT'T work when you add the jQuery library? — Brett DeWoody, Mar 04 '15 at 16:06

If you are using CKEditor, you may need the jQuery Adapter to make it work. You will need include source files like this on your header

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="ckeditor.js"></script>
<script src="adapters/jquery.js"></script>

Please see details here

You are overwriting the windows.onload event handler and that should be the cause of your problem.

Try instead the following change in your code:

// previous
window.onload = function() { /* your code here */ };

// suggestion
$( document ).ready(function() { /* your code here */ });
