A textarea, which is what it looks like CKEditor manipulates, is an input field in a form. The submit button for a form normally leads to an HTTP POST request being sent to your server, where a controller (specified by the form action) would see that textarea as POST DATA (request.post_vars[TAname] or request.post_vars.TAname) The submit button could be a "plain vanilla" submit button with the browser handling all the lifting, or it could be a jQuery/ajax button with a little script to fire off the POST (perhaps without leaving the page). A simple example of posting a form would be the "Say my name" exercise in Chapter 3, but any of the form tools in Chapter 7 should work, also. I have a page (on another machine, so no cuttenpaist at this time) where I have 2 forms (both SQLFORM instances). For one of them, the submit button is the default one and you leave the page (except the next action is back to that page). For the other, the submit button is wired through jQuery and only the DIV containing it is updated. 2 different functions in my controller.
