OK, maybe I shouldn't have said you "need" to use the FCKeditorAPI, but since it's built-in to FCKeditor and does exactly what you need, it might be easier than writing your own custom functions.
See: http://wiki.fckeditor.net/Developer%27s_Guide/Javascript_API There are a number of methods in the API, including getXHMTL() which returns the contents of the editor instance. I'm using the API successfully in a CF/AJAX project - works like a charm. -michael -- michael acadia | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andy Matthews wrote: > I thought this would be fairly straightforward but it appears to be causing > me some distress.
