I haven't used ajaxform, but I think this means that you can do something like this:
$("#myForm").bind("form-pre-serialize", function() { // put the data from the editor back into the form. }); How to actually get the necessary data from CK you'll have to look at the CK editor's documentation. There should be a simple function to synchronize back with your textarea, but if not, there should still be a call to get the rich data as a string which you could then manually insert into your text area. Alternately, there are some jQuery wrapper plug-ins for the rich editors. I've never used them, but they may be easier to use than your manual integration: http://www.google.com/search?q=jquery+ckeditor+plugin Good luck, -- Scott P.S. Unbelieveable! Google was rejecting my post from it online interface when I used the name of the editor. What I'm calling "CKEditor" here had in the post an initial "F" as well.
