Keep in mind I don't using TinyMCE, I use FCKEditor, but the principle should be the same...
Basically, I write a small plugin that is responsible for 1. Creating an instance of the editor 2. Retrieving the HTML content from the editor and 'preparing' it for form submission For example... $.FCK.Start(); // creates the editors $.FCK.Update(); // updates the editors At the moment, all my form submissions go through one function that will always call the $.FCK.Update() method, but this could be integrated with other plugins - in their configuration For example... if (options.FCKEditor) $.FCK.Update(); My implementation is very specific to my needs, but I can send you the code and help you work on a more generic solution if you like. Just let me know...
