Editor instance textarea value

Hello,

I've managed to get the editor to replace a textarea. When I am typing in the editor, I do not see the textarea value updating (I'm viewing through FireBug). When I submit my page to the server, it is the original value in the textarea that is being submitted and not the edited content in the editor. Am I missing something, shouldn't it just be replacing the textarea value as the user is typing into the editor? Thanks!

Re: Editor instance textarea value

The issue appears to be that I am not using a standard submit button to submit the form. Instead I am using javascript to click() a submit button to submit the form. Not sure why this is, but I resolved it by looping through any CKEDITOR instances on the form to manually update the textarea's content.

  for (var name in CKEDITOR.instances) {
                    CKEDITOR.instances[name].updateElement();
                }
