I am currently playing around with the FCKEditor, and I am trying to replicate how stack overflow shows exactly how your post will look in HTML as you type it up. My FCKEditor creates just fine, I just don't know how to go about accessing the editor data once it is created. What I want to do is get the html from the editor and then put it into the <p id="inputText"></p>. Trying to access it with jQuery using $("#fckEdtr") doesn't work, which I expect is because it's created on the fly with javascript. I am aware of the IsDirty() method in the FCKeditor JavaScript API, I just haven't seen any solid examples of how to get the current instance of the editor and use the method. Can anyone help? My code is below:
<html>
<head>
<title>FCKeditor Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fckeditor/fckeditor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
...code to output editor data as user types
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('fckEdtr');
oFCKeditor.BasePath = "./fckeditor/";
oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet = 'Default';
oFCKeditor.Create();
</script><br/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Post" />
<p id="inputText">
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
