asp.net focus and character count

Hi,

Two problems: both work fine using a normal asp.net textbox control. But neither works using the asp.net CKEditor control.

PROBLEM 1: I can't set the focus on the CKEditor text area.

In the code behind:

CKEditor1.focus(); <<< doesn't work

PROBLEM 2: I can't get character count using javascript (max char issue)

My code works on a normal textbox control, but doens't with the asp.net CKEditor control. If you want to see the code, let me know. Perhaps, both of these two issues are related.

Thanks for any thoughts.
