Answer 1

have you figured it out?

I'm using CKEditor version 3.6.1 with jQuery form submit handler. On submit the textarea is empty, which to me is not correct. However there is an easy workaround which you can use, presuming all your CKEditor textareas have the css class ckeditor.

$('textarea.ckeditor').each(function () {
   var $textarea = $(this);
   $textarea.val(CKEDITOR.instances[$textarea.attr('name')].getData());
});

Execute the above before you do your submit handling ie. form validation.
