Setting a default value

I posted this in the Help forum but since it probably should be posted here I am...

I tried using the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('note','197','100','Basic','This is some <strong>sample text</strong>. You are using <a href="http://www.fckeditor.net/">FCKeditor</a>.') ;
oFCKeditor.BasePath = "fckeditor/" ;
oFCKeditor.Create() ;
</script>

and for some reason it did not work. Well it worked but the value would not show up.
Any ideas on what's wrong with that code? I want to integrate FCKEditor with some of my products.
