How to retrieve data of CKEditor in code behind of an aspx page -

i'm trying integrate ckeditor application , i'm using below approach.

<textarea name="editor1" id="editor1" rows="10" cols="80"></textarea> <script type="text/javascript">     ckeditor.replace('editor1'); </script> 

and in javascript set , data ckeditor i'm using code below

function cksetdata(val)         {            ckeditor.instances.editor1.setdata(val);        } var data = ckeditor.instances.editor1.getdata(); 

it working perfect when using javascript.

but want set , data code behind want save data of ckeditor database.

if using ckeditor control in aspx page i'm able retrieve data using .text property of ckeditor, unable data through javascript.

i need retrieve data both javascript , codebehind.

thanks ur answer mr.raymond kuipers..

im using work around problem..

as im able retrieve data in javascript im assigning data hidden variable , accessing value of hidden variable in button save event..

    function getckeditordata() {     document.getelementbyid('<%=hdn1.clientid%>').value = ckeditor.instances.editor1.getdata();     alert(document.getelementbyid('<%=hdn1.clientid%>').value); } 

in way assigning hidden variable , accessing data in code behind follows..

string templatecontent =  hdn1.value;
