Hi Giles

If your field is called Description, your soEditor field is called
soEditorDescription.  So you'd just use document.soEditorDescription.value.
I think that will work.  Or at least you can call the soEditor functions
this way, e.g. document.soEditorDescription.updateFormField().

Also remember not everyone will see the soEditor, e.g. Mac users, and
anyone not using IE.  So you've got to ensure your code takes into account
that you've either got the soEditorDescription, or just Description.  We
use something like this:

if(!(!document.all && document.getElementById))
{
     // got soEditor
     soEditorDescription.updateFormField();
}

Is there a way of getting at the contents of a soEditor field in a form?
I want to be able to check that it is not empty so that I can shout at
the user if they have not entered anything.

Thanks
