Hi Olaf! Yes, markItUp! moves the textarea's id to the main container. It might seem strange but believe me, it's the best way to handle all the instance and css easily. And agree it might also be unconfortable in some applications.
If your libs are developped over jQuery, "just" replace your textarea's selection $("#id") by $("#id textarea") to get the textarea jquery object. Or textarea = $("#id textarea").get(0); equals textarea = document.getElementById("id"); If you want to keep your libs "jQuery free", try this function which returns the right textarea object (with or without markItUp! plugged on it) as getElementById. function getElementByMarkItUpId(id) { obj = document.getElementById(id); miu = obj.childNodes[0].childNodes[1]; return (miu) ? miu : obj; } myTextarea = getElementByMarkItUpId("myTextareaId"); alert(myTextarea.value); Last solution, try to edit the markItUp! source. line 67: replace > $$.wrap('<div id="'+($$.attr("id")||"")+'" class="markItUp"></div>'); by > $$.wrap('<div class="markItUp"></div>'); line 69: replace > $$.attr("id", "").addClass("markItUpEditor"); by > $$.addClass("markItUpEditor"); I hope my explainations and my english will be clear enough to help you.
