How to read edited content thru' JavaScript?

I am currently evaluating whether FCKeditor is suitable for my requirements. So far, I am very much satisfied with this editor. Thanks FredCK and other developers.

I am having a question regarding how to transfer the content using JavaScript. We have a page where only specific part of the page should be edited by users. So when users click on the specific part, we will open a popup page with editor loaded with that specific content.

Now once the content is edited, I want to set the edited content back to the opener page using JavaScript. I don't want to do a POST submit to any URL. I want to know how to get the edited content as JavaScript string object in the popup page where the editor is loaded, so that I can set the content back to the opener page.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I searched the forum and couldn't find anything useful. Sorry if I have missed it.

This is the way I use the FCKeditor and it works very well.

I have even been successful at coding a JavaScript based loading activity indicator for FCKeditor due to the amount of time it takes for this editor to load. Once loaded I reuse the FCKeditor across all uses using JavaScript and DHTML.

I have found FCKeditor to be as easy to use programmatically as any other WYSIWYG HTML Editor - just to give a shameless plug.

RE: How to read edited content thru' JavaScript?

Thanks a bunch, mcukstorm. That sample page has the functions I require (getContent and putContent).

I am using this kind of utility methods to integrate and use the FCKeditor with my application (to decouple and make easier to plug-in other editors). Once I test it properly, will share it with others.
