how to get contents for saving?

I have been having trouble getting this one to work... I have a editor declared in ColdFusion by using the following:

<cftextarea name="detailsSA" id="detailsSA" height="400" width="485" richtext=yes toolbar="MIS" basepath="../FCKeditor">#getDetailsSA.details#</cftextarea>

upon a button click I am needing to get the contents (whether they were updated or not) and have been unsuccessful in using document.getElementById('detailsSA').getHTML() getXHTML() and getData(). What am I missing?? Thank you!

Re: how to get contents for saving?

You probably have as you state as much but have you tried:

function getContent()
{
      var oEditor = FCKEditorAPI.GetInstance('your instance name here');
      var sContent = oEditor.GetXHTML(); //**one format
      if(sContent != "")
             return sContent;
      else
             return "ERROR";
}

probably other ways to do this but this will certainly work.
