prototypejs and fckeditor, not posting updated values

I was trying to send the text using prototypejs and scriptaculous.

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('richtext');                        
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = $root.'fckeditor/';
$oFCKeditor->ToolbarSet = 'MyToolbar';
$oFCKeditor->Value = $text;
$oFCKeditor->Create();

Problem, even if I change the text in FCK's textarea, $_POST['richtext'] gives the original $text what was fetched from the database, and not the changed text.

:roll:

Note: Similar issue found:

FCK with jQuery ajaxForm plugin - old data sent to server
Problem with passing values
Prototype Ajax.Updater Problem
fckEditor inside UpdatePanel broken in VS2008 beta2 They apparently found a solution for ASP, but I couldn't understand where to have this code for a php server.

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(
        editor.GetType(),
        "editor",
        "FCKUpdateLinkedField('" + editor.ClientID + "');");
}

There is another solution I found posted here, but the solution is equally greek, where should I include the three lines of code?

var content = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('HiddenInputName'').GetXHTML();
FCKeditorAPI = null;
__FCKeditorNS = null;

Re: prototypejs and fckeditor, not posting updated values

In my case i've manage this by updating the FCKEditor linked field before submitting it something like below.

function updateFckEditorFields() {   
   for ( var name in FCKeditorAPI.__Instances ){
      var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.__Instances[ name ] ;
      oEditor.UpdateLinkedField() ;
   }
}

Then calling this function in the before callback of the ajax request.
