If you don't call tinyMCE's JavaScript function, you may have to deal with browser compatibility issues.

If you only have one tinymce box on the page, you can just do this:

tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent('some');

You can also set a format such as BBCode. Check out the setContent documentation.

I would have your PHP code echo out the HTML into a JavaScript function and have it called with onload:

function loadTinyMCE($html) {
    echo "
        
    ";
}

then

If you don't want to use the page onload event, tinymce has an init option called oninit that functions similarly.

Alternatively, setupcontent_callback gives you direct access to the iframe.
