FCKEditor within C# Repeaters

I am currently using the asp repeater to house the fckeditor. However I can't grab the editor's value on button submit

ASP Repeater in MasterPage

<asp:Repeater ID="EditMContentRpt" runat="server" DataSourceID="EditMContent_DS">
        <HeaderTemplate><tr></HeaderTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
        <td align="right" valign="top" style="vertical-align:top;">Content:&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
            <td align="left"><FCK:FCKeditor ID="EditContentFCK" runat="server" BasePath ="~/FCKEditor/" ImageBrowserURL="../../../images/" 
            LinkBrowserURL="../../../images/" Width="550" Height="300" Value='<%# Eval("Text") %>'></FCK:FCKeditor>
            </td>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <FooterTemplate></tr></FooterTemplate>
        </asp:Repeater>
        <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="EditMContent_DS" runat="server" OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}" 
            SelectMethod="GetData" 
            TypeName="AWD_DSTableAdapters.MasterContentTBLTableAdapter">
        </asp:ObjectDataSource>

Code Behind on button press

 protected void Edit_MasterContentBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        AWD_DS.MasterContentTBLDataTable GetMContent = (AWD_DS.MasterContentTBLDataTable)mtA.GetData();
        int contentid = Convert.ToInt32(GetMContent.Rows[0]["ContentID"]);


        string fck = ((FCKeditor)EditMContentRpt.FindControl("EditContentFCK")).Value;

The string 'fck' keeps coming up null. I don't know what I am doing wrong or missing. Any help or ideas would be grateful. Thanks

Re: FCKEditor within C# Repeaters

you cant find an item inside a repeater by simply searching the "repeater" - you need to search the item specifically

so, your _Click method is searching just the repeater (which wont work)

you need to do something along the lines of:

RepeaterItem myItem = (RepeaterItem)((LinkButton)sender).NamingContainer;
string myString = ((FCKeditor)myItem.FindControl("EditContentFCK")).Value;

that will find the item in the repeater that housed teh button when it was clicked and assign it to myItem then search THAT item for the fckeditor
