I can by adding this: alert($.ckeditor.instance("editor_kama").getData()); to showRequest see that the text is showing the correct complete HTML of the text area, But the text being picked up and in the query is the display'd text, but the HTML text. (showRequest lso includes var queryString = $.param(formData); alert('About to submit: \n\n' + queryString); so I can see what is being sent to the server before it sends the information) "Hi, this is your editor area." not "<strong>Hi, this is your editor area.</strong>" even though getData is showing that the HTML text is available in the DOM.
