First of all you should include ckeditor and jquery connector script in your page,

then create a textarea

<textarea name="content" class="editor" id="ms_editor"></textarea>

attach ckeditor to the text area, in my project I use something like this:

$('textarea.editor').ckeditor(function() {
        }, { toolbar : [
            ['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','Print', 'SpellChecker', 'Scayt'],
            ['Undo','Redo'],
            ['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','-','Subscript','Superscript'],
            ['NumberedList','BulletedList','-','Outdent','Indent','Blockquote'],
            ['JustifyLeft','JustifyCenter','JustifyRight','JustifyBlock'],
            ['Link','Unlink','Anchor', 'Image', 'Smiley'],
            ['Table','HorizontalRule','SpecialChar'],
            ['Styles','BGColor']
        ], toolbarCanCollapse:false, height: '300px', scayt_sLang: 'pt_PT', uiColor : '#EBEBEB' } );

on submit get the content using:

var content = $( 'textarea.editor' ).val();

That's it! :)
