This will work....
RichTextEditor(this.getChildByName("item1")).htmlText = "TEST"... if your RichTextEditor object has the name, item1, not ID. getChildByName as it states finds your object by it's name property not the ID property. You'll also have to make sure that whatever object you are calling getChildOByName on, the rich text editor is a direct child of it. I don't believe the getChildByName is recursive at all. And if you are creating the rich text editor on teh fly, why not just pass the reference to it? --Scott --- In [email protected], "Nate Pearson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am calling a webservice to get text for an item(RichTextEditor) that > I am adding dynamically. > > If i set the ID of the rte to "item1" how do I reference that in my > webservice handler?
