Hi Gareth. The problem is actually triggering a function when the content of the editor changes not actually reading the content. As for just reading the content, I figured that would be stored in the hidden text field that FCK creates. If I'm wrong about that, then I'm pretty sure this will get the content at anytime:
FCKeditorAPI.__Instances['instanceNameHere'].GetHTML(); ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

So, you should be able to update your div with secondFrame.body.innerHTML. firstFrame = document.getElementById("FCKeditor1___Frame").contentWindow.document; secondFrame = firstFrame.getElementById("eEditorArea").contentWindow.document; if ((secondFrame.body.innerHTML==null) || (secondFrame.body.innerHTML=='')) { alert("Stupid user alert"); } ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bobby Hartsfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 3:48 PM Subject: OT: FckEditor / JS What I have is a textarea. As you type in the text area, a div tag is updated with the textarea's content creating a 'live preview'. I need to change that textarea to the FCKEditor but keep the live preview. The problem is that I don't have the same control over the onchcnage and onkeyup attributes of the hidden field that the FCKEditor creates as I do the normal textarea. I tried using setAttribute('onchange'), 'myfunction()') on the hidden field but no such luck. Can anyone offer any help here? ....:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
