How do you set value with Javascript?

document.[form name].[textarea name].value=data; does not work
$('#textareaID').val(data); does not work.

These work without the editor applied.

How can I set the value of the editor using javascript?

CKEDITOR.instance.[name used in CKEDITOR.replace].setData(value);

can be used in ANY js file as long as it comes after ckeditor.js is loaded in the header. Correct?
