Docprops + div with Internet Explorer = no meta data

Hello,

I am doing some initial review of CKEditor and notice that the docprops plugin does not appear to detect any of the meta tags in IE8 or 9 when the target element is a div instead of a textarea. Things appear to be just fine in other browsers when using div tags.

CKEDITOR.replace('editor1',{
         fullPage:true,
         extraPlugins:'docprops',
         height:'500',
         width:'800',
         resize_enabled : false
      });

Using below results in no meta data in IE8 and 9.

<div id="editor1"><?= results of a file_get_contents here ?></div>

However using a textarea results in meta data being loaded in the docprops plugin popup.

<textarea id="editor1"><?= results of a file_get_contents here ?></textarea>

I suppose its really not an issue to just use a textarea, unless I am missing a configuration setting somewhere. Could I be overlooking a configuration or something? Thanks in advance for any input.
