Mike. Thanks again for the reply! I can see what you're doing with this code, and I was sure it would work, but for some reason it doesn't?! No errors, just left with the same default text again. In fact I added alert(a[i].value); to your function just to make sure it was working, and yes, it does contain the updated text, but this is not what gets sent to my php script. Weird. Can you think of anything else? (problem would appear to be in the form plugin rather than FCKeditor..?)
Thanks again for your help so far, it's much appreciated.
