my javascript fonction doesn't get the fckeditor value !

hi !

i'm building a PHP page for editing text. so i use the GREEEEASTEST FCKeditor editor !
To validate the entered text in client-front, i use a javascript function.

The problem is the value of the textarea of fckeditor is not reachable or update in my javascript function !!
if i don't use fckeditor, and put a single textarea tag, all is OK! so what is the problem with validate function ?

well, this is how i declare the fckeditor (off cource i already included the php header...):

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('CH_NEW1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = 'js/fckeditor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Config['EnterMode'] = 'br';
$oFCKeditor->Value = 'here you go ' ;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;

my link who runs the validate function, it's placed (in HTML) just after the PHP previous lines :

<a href="javascript:TEST_BOX1_AJOUT();">CHECK AND SAVE</a>

and my javascript function :

function TEST_BOX1_AJOUT()
{   
alert(document.FORMU_BOX.CH_NEW1.value);   // first problem ! the value is not what i update; it stays the first init value 'here you go' in my exampl }

so ? what is my problem ?

by advance thanks for your answer, it's been 2 hours for i'm searching....help

I assume that by using document.FORMU_BOX.CH_NEW1.value you are trying to retrieve the value of the editor? You can try using the editor javascript API instead to retrieve the value of the editor.

function TEST_BOX1_AJOUT() {
      var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('CH_NEW1');
      alert(oEditor.GetXHTML(true));
}

Refer to the JavaScript API section in the developer guide for more info.
