Hi:

   I'm using the Yahoo YUI toolkit simpleeditor component to capture via a pop-up window some remarks info.

   I have a button and associated inputTextArea field on the main page that holds the data field for the remark.  This is backed by a field with getter/setter methods in the controller class.

   In the pop-up page which uses YUI simpleeditor, the page renders fine and captures the rich text fine.  I attempt to post the contents that the editor collects using the following javascript function:

    function beforeTextSave()
    {
       var rem=myEditor.getEditorHTML();
       document.getElementById('{!$Component.remarksId}').value = rem;
    }

   I put an alert statement after the document to ensure it was capturing the data from simpleeditor OK and it was.

   The remarksId id refers to:

<div class="yui-skin-sam" style="display:none" id="editor" align="center" ><p />
    <apex:commandButton value="Save"  onclick="beforeTextSave();CloseWindow();"/>
 <apex:inputtextarea id="remarksId" rows="20" cols="75" value="{!remarks}" richText="true"/>

   What am I doing incorrectly here?  Should not the javascript be posting the updated editor data into the remarks field by virtue of me updating the component on the page by its ID.value?

thoughts??
