I've encountered this myself. The issue is caused by the fact that the TinyMCE plugin inserts other html elements into the textarea. What you have to do is change your selector to parse down the node tree from the parent textarea down to the child element you're actually typing into. Firebug's 'inspect' feature should give you the node path you need for your selector.

I simply want my .contexthelp div to display when the user clicks anywhere in TinyMCE but so far everything I've tried has been unsuccessful. I've trolled the archives but haven't found anything helpful. Any suggestions? Jim
