MVC 3 CKEditor 4 AJAX Save Text Complete Code?

I have searched the Internet all day and find bits and pieces of code pertaining to the CKEditor. I have yet to find a complete working example for a simple MVC View/Controller. I will contribute money to the CKEditor no problem. It's so nice, difficult to believe its free. The following code is all I have so far:

<div id="index-editor">
     <textarea class="ck-editor" name="editor1">...</textarea>
</div>

window.onload = function ()
{
    CKEDITOR.replace('editor1');
    var editor_data = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData();
};
