Have you considered adding a hidden AJAX-enabled Form to the page containing
(1) a content TextField and (2) a Submit? On click of Test Button, make your
JavaScript set the value of (1) to whatever is in the editor and do click() on
(2).
Server-side, you’d provide all the usual event-handling for a form (eg.
onValidateFromMyHiddenForm(), onSuccessFromMyHiddenForm(), etc.).
This way, I suspect it would become very easy to implement, read, and maintain.
In case it helps, here’s an example of an AJAX Form that isn’t hidden:
