Scott, thanks for your replies I did get this to work
$('#test').click(function(){ alert($.ckeditor.instance("fck").getData()); }); fck i the id of the textarea I'm using now this works because by the time i press the button the ckeditor is load so now I'm trying to figure out when it is load so I can apply things to it once its loaded rather than have a user click a button.
