Menu
I'm trying to get the text written inside a TinyMCE textarea. I have the code below. The TinyMCE text area is showed but the alert is not even showed. Why?
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/home/javiergarcia/Scaricati/jari/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form').submit(function() {
//alert("fasdfs");
alert(tinyMCE.get('#jander').getContent());
});
});
</script>
<form method="post" action="somepage">
<textarea name="content" id="jander" style="width:100%"></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

The TinyMCE getContent and setContent methods You can do this using the getContent() API method. Let's say you have initialized the editor on a textarea with id=”myTextarea”. This will return the content in the editor marked up as HTML.
You can use the activeEditor for that, or if (for some reason) you have the original element that created the editor in a jQuery object, you can use that jQuery object to get the id of the original element and use that in order to get the content of the TinyMCE (using the TinyMCE editor).
Why don't you simply use tinymce.get('jander').getContent(); (tinymce in lowercases!) ?

You should simply request the value of the original textarea control.
tinyMCE.triggerSave(false, true);
$('#jander').val();
Once you've included the TinyMCE jQuery plugin, you assign the editor to a variable and can then operate any jQuery function on it:
var wysiwyg = $('textarea.tinymce').tinymce(tinymce_settings);
Then to get the contents you can just fetch wysiwyg.html();
Also, see the TinyMCE jQuery documentation for other manipulation techniques.

As someone told me, the sharp character (#) is used in jQuery selectors and has nothing to do with tinyMCE.get(). So with this line below works ok.
alert(tinyMCE.get('jander').getContent());
