I ran into the same issue. This is used by a another window that is opened and updates that field. You could probably modify it to work for you.
function getEditorContent(instanceName) { editor_frame = opener.document.getElementById(instanceName+'___Frame'); editor_source = editor_frame.contentWindow.document.getElementById('eEditorArea'); if (editor_source!=null) { return editor_source.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML; } else { return ''; } } function setEditorContent(instanceName,newContent) { editor_frame = opener.document.getElementById(instanceName+'___Frame'); editor_source = editor_frame.contentWindow.document.getElementById('eEditorArea'); if (editor_source!=null) { editor_source.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = newContent; } else { return ''; } } -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 2:32 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Getting the value or innerHTML of an FCKEditor field using DO M What does Firebug show it as?

I need to get the value of an FCKEditor field for transmission using AJAX. However, when I reference the fields ID, I get a blank result when there is definitely content in it. Can someone shed some light on this for me? Below is the HTML that is generated when I instantiate the FCKEditor. <div> <input type="hidden" id="art_article" name="art_article" value="" style="display:none" /> <input type="hidden" id="art_article___Config" value="" style="display:none" /> <iframe id="art_article___Frame" src="/admin/includes/fckeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=art_ar ticl e&Toolbar=SmallSet" width="100%" height="250" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </div> Any ideas? <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.
