the <textarea> element exists on your page, but its ckeditor (richtext) 'incarnation' does not. thus calling ColdFusion.RichText.setValue() at this stage does not produce any results - because it uses ckeditor-specific javascript functions to populate the ckeditor instance of the textarea (which is actually an ifame, iirc) with content, not the actual <textarea> element.
