How to programmatically determine name of CKEditor instance

Question

I\'ve added a CKEditor instance programmatically to my page in the code-behind of my ASP.NET page:

VB.NET:

itemEditor = New CkEditor
cell.Controls.Ad

Well I've found a way... but I don't like it much...

I've added a Hidden Field control to the page, after adding the editor, and put the editor's ClientId in its value:

Dim hdn As New HiddenField
With hdn
    .ID = "HiddenField"
    .Value = itemEditor.ClientID
End With
cell.Controls.Add(hdn)

.. and then in the JavaScript, I can get the hidden field, and hence the editor name as follows:

function GetCkText()
{
    var hdn = document.getElementById("HiddenField");
    var editorName = hdn.getAttribute("value");
    var editor = CKEDITOR.instances[editorName];
    alert(editor.getData());
    return false;
}

But it's a bit inelegant, to say the least. Anyone got a better way?
